Every time the entire world is shocked before the indications of a new epidemic that endangers the health of millions of people. A worldwide disease is a recurring motive in film scripts, but also in our dreams.
And it is that the terror produced by health alerts can turn our dreams with diseases into authentic nightmares. Do you want to know the meaning of dreaming of diseases? Attentive to what our Dream Dictionary says.
Most of the time we dream of misfortunes, with disasters or with death it is not usually interpreted negatively. However, dreaming of an epidemic or a disease worldwide, although it is not a premonitory dream, reflects your fear and your insecurity for the future.
Obviously, little can be done individually in the face of such a health alert and the dream manifests not only impotence, but you feel totally vulnerable to the dangers. This fear can be referring to the most intimate field, but also to work.
Dreaming of an epidemic symbolizes a disaster worldwide and, in these times of crisis, this dream acquires a revealing meaning. It means your little confidence in the future, your pessimism for the future and your fear that the situation not only does not resolve, but will go worse.
This lack of optimism in the future and that things change, at a global level and personal level, it is also reflected if with what you dream is not with a worldwide epidemic, but with a simple disease. Diseases, hospitals or accidents are clear samples of your concerns.
But dreaming that you are sick or that the people you want sick do not become a premonitory dream, but that it is the reflection of that fear that you have to lose your people, or that something happens to them. In any case, dreaming of diseases talk about your protection ability.
So do not get too distressed when you dream of this type of misfortunes, diseases or epidemics because, although we do not find any positive meaning in them, they belong to that kind of dreams that do not announce, but are a reason for reflection.
There is a very real symbolic aspect of diseases that must always be in mind when interpreting this type of dreams. When you have a disease, your life is in a kind of pause until you overcome that disease. You need specialized treatment, which means you need help. An aid that you cannot lend to yourself.
This circumstance linked to one’s own feeling of weakness that implies any disease, makes you feel especially vulnerable. You do not have the reins of your life, another person takes them, in this case a medical and trusted medical team. But nobody likes to be in the hands of other people and that encourages insecurity.
To vulnerability and insecurity binds fear. What will happen? Am I going to heal or am I going to die? Uncertainty, impotence, frustration … three aspects that we can only work from tolerance and acceptance. But we lack experience, we lack tools to manage all this in the most positive way possible.
Nor do we want to get dreary, but it is true that dreams with diseases or epidemics are not encouraging. Like other types of nightmares we can find its useful part, a useful part that is not pleasant because it faces us face to face with our fears, with our concerns and with our weak points. The truth is that at some point we will have to do it, right?
Now that we are willing to face what we do not finish accepting, we go with the interpretation of dreams with more frequent diseases.
+ Dream that I get sick
As you know, sometimes emotional discomfort translates into physical diseases. You may be living a delicate moment and that you feel so weak and so vulnerable that issues to get sick. It is not a premonitory dream, but you could take it as an alert that something is going wrong.
+ Dream that everyone sick
The entire world suffers a disease, it is a pandemic, something for what we have already happened. The dream can be motivated by the current situation we are living, but also by poor management of uncertainty, for fear of the future or, rather, for a feeling of hopelessness that must be stopped as soon as possible.
+ Dream that they don’t know what disease you have
You have been sick for a while and you have made a full -fledged medical pilgrimage but they don’t know what you have. That you are sick is evident but what do you have? Do not take sleep or interpretation literally, but you need to define what is happening to you in life (which has nothing to do with a disease), you need to name your situation to start looking for solutions.
+ Dream that some loved one gets sick
This nightmare produces more anguish than when you dream that you get sick. What happens to the person with whom you dream? Nor is it a premonitory dream, but surely that person is not going through his best moment and you are looking for ways to help her.
+ Dreaming of long medical treatment
Without knowing well what prognosis your disease has, what you are dreaming is that the treatment never ends. It may even be painful and, of course it will be uncomfortable. The dream responds to a vital moment in which you do not feel with all the strength and you are in a kind of vital pause waiting to recover that energy and that force that you lack.
+ Dream with hospitals
Dreams with hospitals are very frequent and represent that place of healing where you find professionals who can give you the best help. But they also tell the visits you receive while you are hospitalized. Look well in those people who appear in your dream because they are the ones you think they can help you or the ones you would like to help you in a bad time.
