Others have dreamed of swallowing strange objects or having things in their bodies that don't belong there. Some have later been diagnosed with tumors or other conditions. If you have not been feeling well and feel that your dream may be pointing to a physical problem, insist that your doctor investigate. Some doctors actually have faith in dreams and prayer. You may have to actively search for one.
Dreams of injuries and illness do not always symbolize a physical illness in waking life. These dreams often represent emotional and spiritual issues. For instance, dreaming of heart problems may symbolize a broken heart if you have recently been hurt. Dreaming of breaking a leg or foot may symbolize an inability to move forward. The part of the body that is injured or ill can tell you quite a bit about the issue your unconscious is trying to communicate. Try to relate the dream to recent issues in waking life to determine its interpretation.
If you dream that someone else is ill or injured, apply the same method and reflect upon what that person symbolizes to you. Dreaming of a sick or injured loved one may simply symbolize worry or anxiety about them.
May all your dreams come true!
