DREAMS ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES

THE DREAM - I have had the same dream for seven days. I am in this run down old factory. There is this little girl - she can't be any more then 12 or 13. She is covered in blood which is just dripping from her hands and body even her hair. I cannot move as I just stand there staring at her as she just stands there not doing anything. It seems like hours.

THE REALITY The dreamer had been battling with cancer in her right kidney which had shut down. The doctors think she was winning the battle.

THE INTERPRETATION Dreams can often be about health issues so always look out for changing thoughts and feelings connected to your current health status. This dreamer was suffering with cancer which is obviously going to generate lots of thoughts and feelings and with that will come dreams.

The state of buildings and surrounding can easily represent your own thoughts and even physical health. This run down building represents the state of her own health - run down after fighting cancer. If we are to assume this dream is about this health issue then it makes perfect sense. The blood represents the dreamers own physical and emotional pain as she fights cancer. The young girl probably represents the dreamers own youth - her own fading health being blighted while she has so much life left inside her. Overall it probably represents the dreamers own assessments of her shut down kidney and the effect it has had on her health.

Dream Dictionary Meanings RUN DOWN FACTORY:"The dreamers own run down body" GIRL COVERED IN BLOOD:"The emotional and physical affect of the cancer"

DREAM MEANING The dream has captured the following feeling within the dreamer - "I have been battling with cancer for over a year. I seem to be winning but this it has affected me badly. My kidney has shut down and I lack energy."

THE DREAM I am in the middle of an earthquake. The earth opens up and I think to myself that I will have to make a major effort to stay alive. I run for my very life as the earth collapses around me. I am then in a river with a group of soldiers. I am still running and I notice that there are soldiers there ready to pounce on anyone who breaks formation. We have to stay disciplined.

THE REALITY The day before the dreamers chronic hay fever had started to return. Recently this had dissapeared. That was during a period of building work. The dreamer was thinking about this the night before. He noticed that it may have been his need for discipline and the hustle and bustle of the building work that had help clear his system out.

THE INTERPRETATION Dreams can link to our intuitive thoughts. These may be connected with many issues such as relationships, work stategies or health. Often we monitor our own health. This dreamer had been thinking a lot about his hay fever the night before. He had noticed a certain pattern had emerged. His health had actually improved during the recent period of upheaval when his house was renovated. Its always worth writing down some new intuitive thoughts emerging the day before and at the time of the dream. Dreams can be symbolic versions of these. So how exactly can this dream link to real life.

The earthquake in this dream could easily mirror real life. People often mistake dream symbols as some on coming crisis of a major magnitude. Actually an earthquake can symbolize any real life upheaval. It does not have to be a crisis of biblical proportions. Its only a metaphor. We exxagerate using metaphors. Thats because dreams express our inner feelings. These are always exxagerated slightly eg "I hate him - he is just a dictator like Hitler". In real life the building work had been a major problem and disruption. It had been a stressful time and every part of the dreamers life had been totally disrupted. There had been a need to keep moving and stay on schedule to fit in with the builders needs.

The dream also includes soldiers. The dream clearly links these to one particular symbolic meaning of soldiers - the need to remain disciplined. The dream dwells on the need to stay in the ranks and keep discipline. This need to stay disciplined had a major relevance to the dreamers situation. He had realized that his hay fever and breathing troubles were linked to a need to stay disciplined. That he needed to keep going with any attempts to ward off chronic hay fever.

So yes this dream seems to link very strongly to this real life situation. It is a symbolic version of the upheaval that had recently occured and the need to stay disciplined. These two symbols together form the basis of the dreamers insight regarding his chronic hay fever. He had realized that the recent upheaval had been actually good for his health. It had made him stay to a schedule. So the dream was a symbolic workings of a very important thought process.

Symbolic Meanings EARTHQUAKE : "The recent upheavals in the dreamers home connected with building work" RIVER : "A stream of energies and efforts" SOLDIERS : "The need to stay disciplined in order to ward off hay fever"

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "My hay fever has returned. For a short time it went away. That was during the recent building work at home. I was forced into a better routine. All the extra activity helped me fight off the hay fever. Now I am back to my lazy ways things are returning back to normal. I need to be more disciplined.".

THE DREAM - It was the end of the world. The whole area has been devastated. Then I see that a baby has been growing as if everything is normal.

THE REALITY The previous day the dreamer had started to do some things that he had not done in a long time. He had been discussing software packages with a new friend. He had been unwell for some time but recently things had started to improve substantially.

THE INTERPRETATION Babies are linked to fresh new feelings. In this case there was an obvious candidate to fit this symbol. The previous day he had been talking in a fresh and energetic way about software packages to a new friend.

The other symbols seem to fit this situation as well. The end of the world certainly captures the dreamers own feelings. He had felt as if some health problems were quite permanent and that many areas of his life had been totally devastated. He felt in some ways as if it was the end of the world.

Symbolic Meanings
BABY : "a fresh new feeling - the dreamer had felt a new surge of energy the previous day when talking about software and art with a new friend"
END OF THE WORLD : "The dreamer had recently not been very well. He had suffered immense pain yet this was now starting to improve substantially"
NORMAL : "The dreamer felt that the previous day represented a change. He felt as if things were truly back to normal"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "Things have been terrible in my life with the terrible blinding pain I have had. Yet yesterday I felt as if things were a little bit back to normal. I never thought I would be talking in such a way again. It was as if things were back to normal"

THE DREAM I dreamt about a King named Idendra. He was about to die.

THE REALITY The dreamer had been suffering badly from ill health. He had always been very fit and healthy. Now he realised that he was dependant on help from others to get him about. He had a lot less independence in his life.

THE INTERPRETATION The dreamer was an emotional turning point in his life. His ill health had reached such a point that he was really needing help from others. He had always been fiercely independant and this dream was about this loss of independence and sovereignty in his own life.

King Idendra is the name of a king in Nepal who recently had to relinquish absolute power.

Symbolic Meanings DIE : "an ending - the dreamers absolute power to run his own life was being lost - he needed the help of others to do simple things"

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I know I have got to ask for help now. I have always been able to do things myself and had absolute power over my life. Now my life is in the hands of others."

THE DREAM Recently my dreams seem to revolve around me losing my purse. A very odd dream for me as I don’t usually carry purses in dreams. It would happen in all different circumstances. I would go somewhere, leave, and then realize I had forgotten my purse. I’d go back to find it but couldn’t (or would wake up prior to finding it). I never did find the purse.

THE REALITY The dreamer was suffering from a progressive lung disease. She was often very tired and would get sick a lot. At work(which was always VERY important to her), she was taking time off. She knew she would be fired(which she was).

THE REALITY Well dreams do relate to our real lives. Recurring dreams should be simple enough to solve as they are obviously problems which are recurring. This dreamer was going through some major life changes with ill health.

In some senses losing a purse could relate to the loss of income that would result due to her being fired(which she knew would happen). After all a purse contains money. But maybe this explanation is too simplistic.

A purse obviously connects with money but also links to personal possessions. Money in dreams can symbolise things that are valuable to us. In this case its the dreamers identity which is being lost. She enjoyed her work and it provided her with a sense of satisfaction and self worth. Losing her job and losing her ability to do her job was affecting her. Work is very important to the majority of people. It is not only a source of money but we also meet many people through it and also gain a sense of self worth.

So in this sense it refer to the dreamer having to confront major life changes and having to restore her sense of identity and self worth.

Symbolic Meanings
PURSE : "The dreamers sense of identity that she gained through work"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I have been fired due to ill health. Since then I have not really found a new purpose and sense of self worth."

THE DREAM - I was at some sort of party. There were lots of police there. I am talking and friendly towards the police. Later on a lady who works at a homeless hostel is there. She is making an assessment of me.

THE REALITY The dreamer was starting to realise that he would have to start dealing with a health problem. Things were getting very serious and if they did not get dealt with soon then things would end up with the dreamer collapsing in public or just being unable to cope.

THE INTERPRETATION
There was one big issue looming in the dreamers mind. He knew that he would have to start dealing with a particular health issue or his life would descend into general chaos and disorder. The dream seems linked to this and the symbols are all very consistent with this.

The police generally can link to situations of disorder. But disorder in a general sense. That your life becomes chaotic and disordered. Its not really linked to disorder in the sense that laws are broken.

The lady who works at a homeless shelter was a strong symbol. The previous time that the dreamer met her she had been making an assessment of a homeless man who had let health problems get out of control. There was a clear link to the dreamers own life. He had let his health issues get out of control and if he did not start to deal with the situation and sort out the problems then he would be just like that homeless man. People would be intervening after the situation had got out of hand.

Symbolic Meanings
DRUNK: "I am worried that I am losing control of my senses because of this health problem"
DRUNK: "I worry that if I start trying to deal openly with this problem that I will lose control emotionally"
POLICE : "I know I have to start restoring order. The situation is getting out of hand with my health"
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I know that I really have to start coping with this health problem or I will end up collapsing in public or worse. I also worry that when I start to deal with this issue then I will become all emotional and rambling like a drunk"
