Every so often the entire world is shocked by the signs of a new epidemic that endangers the health of millions of people. A worldwide disease is a recurring motif in movie scripts, but also in our dreams .
And it is that the terror that health alerts produce in us can turn our dreams with diseases into real nightmares. Do you want to know the meaning of dreaming about diseases ? Attentive to what our dream dictionary says .
The meaning of dreaming of an epidemic
Most of the times that we dream of misfortunes, disasters or death, it is not usually interpreted in a negative way. However, dreaming of an epidemic or a disease worldwide, although it is not a premonitory dream, reflects your fear and your insecurity in the future .
Obviously, there is little that can be done individually in the face of a health alert of this type and sleep manifests not only impotence , but also that you feel totally vulnerable to dangers . This fear may be referring to the most intimate sphere , but also to work .
Dreaming of an epidemic symbolizes a worldwide disaster and, in these times of crisis, this dream acquires a revealing meaning. It means your low confidence in the future , your pessimism about the future and your fear that the situation will not only not be resolved, but that it will get worse.
Diseases in dreams: what do they symbolize?
This lack of optimism in the future and in things changing, globally and personally, is also reflected if what you dream of is not a global epidemic, but a simple disease. Illnesses, hospitals or accidents are clear signs of your worries .
But dreaming that you are ill or that the people you love are ill does not become a premonitory dream , but rather a reflection of that fear you have of losing your people , or that something happens to them. In any case, dreaming of illnesses speaks of your ability to protect yourself .
So do not be too distressed when you dream of this type of misfortune, disease or epidemic because, although we do not find any positive meaning in them, they belong to that class of dreams that do not announce, but are a reason for reflection .
Why do you dream of diseases
There is a symbolic and at the same time very real aspect of diseases that must always be borne in mind when interpreting these types of dreams. When you have an illness, your life goes into a kind of hiatus until you get over that illness. You need specialized treatment, which means you need help . A help that you cannot give yourself.
This circumstance, together with the very feeling of weakness that any disease implies, makes you feel especially vulnerable . You do not have the reins of your life , it is run by someone else, in this case a professional and trusted medical team . But nobody likes to be in the hands of other people and that fosters insecurity .
Fear is added to vulnerability and insecurity . What is going to happen? Am I going to heal or am I going to die? The uncertainty , the helplessness , the frustration … Three aspects that 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 gloomy, 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 either because it brings us face to face with our fears, with our worries and with our weak points . The truth is that at some point we will have to do it, right?
Dreams with the most frequent diseases and their meanings
Now that we are ready to face what we do not finish accepting, we go with the interpretation of dreams with more frequent diseases .
+Dreaming that I get sick
As you well know, sometimes emotional distress translates into physical illness. It is possible that you are living a delicate moment and that you feel so weak and so vulnerable that you fear getting sick . It is not a premonitory dream, but you could take it as an alert that something is wrong .
+Dreaming that everyone is ill
The whole world suffers from a disease, it is a pandemic, something we have already been through. The dream may be motivated by the current situation we are experiencing, but also by mismanagement of uncertainty, by fear of the future or, rather, by a feeling of hopelessness that must be addressed as soon as possible.
+Dreaming that they don’t know what illness you have
You have been ill for a while and have made a full-blown medical pilgrimage but they don’t know what you have. That you are sick is obvious, but what do you have? Do not take the dream or the 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 give your situation a name in order to start looking for solutions.
+Dreaming that someone you love becomes ill
This nightmare produces more anguish than when you dream that you yourself become ill. What happens to the person you dream of? It is not a premonitory dream either, but surely that person is not going through their best moment and you are looking for a way to help them .
+Dreaming of a 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 it will certainly be uncomfortable. The dream responds to a vital moment in which you do not feel with all your strength and you are in a kind of vital pause waiting to recover that energy and that strength that you lack.
+ Dream about hospitals
Dreams with hospitals are very frequent and represent that place of healing where you find the professionals who can give you the best help . But the visits you receive while you are hospitalized also count a lot. Take a good look at those people that appear in your dream because they are the ones you think can help you or the ones you would like to help you in a bad moment .
