What it means to dream about illness
Illness in a dream: the old dream book reads one thing, but really it speaks more of your state today - scary omens carry little weight here. Below, both layers.
First layer · what tradition says
What the traditional dream book says
In the dream books, illness means cares and trouble, and sometimes, by the old habit of reading things inside out, health and a long life. When someone close was ill in the dream, the old books read it as news about that person.
Second layer · the honest read
What the dream really reflects
Really, illness comes when you're worn out and haven't asked yourself how you are in a long time. In the dream, the body raises its voice for something that aches somewhere other than the body: tiredness, worry, a matter that's wearing you down. Taking to your bed in the dream, you long to lie down at last and be cared for. It's about being overloaded, and that load is long overdue a rest.
FAQ
Is dreaming about illness a good sign or a bad one?
Neither one directly, because a dream does not prophesy. It shows your state, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh once you look closely. Illness here is a mirror rather than a sentence.
The dream reflected you for one night. The chart of the sky holds your whole reflection.
