Psychological Dream Interpretation
Dream Interpretation: In dreams, an adult’s body symbolizes their complete self (including their personality and characteristics) or conscious self. Even when a person is still a hungry infant, their body becomes their most important source of information.
Psychological Analysis: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the lungs are associated with sadness and pain (TCM believes the five internal organs are responsible for various human emotions). Furthermore, in dreams, they represent a person’s decision-making and self-regulation abilities. Generally speaking, the lungs are considered to be the organ that produces a quasi-consciousness.
Lung Dream Case Analysis
[Dream Example 1]
I dreamed of feeling unwell and went to the hospital for a checkup. It was confirmed that my lungs were damaged by smoking and required surgery. I saw the doctor removing a lung and working on it, and I was covered in cold sweat.
Dream Interpretation: If you smoke, this dream may be due to daytime discomfort, such as coughing or shortness of breath, which are related to smoking. You didn’t dwell on it during the day, but at night, as your body’s organs began to repair themselves, the brain nerves were stimulated, causing you to dream about your lungs. The condition has been going on for a while, so the dream depicted a bloody surgery. You’ve probably been putting off going to the hospital for a while, subconsciously fearing it could lead to a serious illness. Go get checked out. If you don’t smoke, it’s likely that someone close to you is experiencing similar symptoms and you’re worried. If you’re afraid of the dream becoming reality, persuade or accompany them to see a doctor!
[Dream Example 2]
Last night, I spent most of my time dreaming about a story, and it felt real to me. I dreamed I had cancer, lung cancer. After I got sick, I cried constantly, feeling like I had lost everything. I even cried when I told my boyfriend I was sick. Can someone interpret this dream for me? What does it mean? It’s so strange! The night after I had this dream, my mother called to tell me my uncle had lung cancer and that I had dreamed this for him!
Dream Interpretation: Show more care and concern for your loved ones.
