The liver secretes bile, stores animal starch, regulates the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and also has detoxification, hematopoiesis, and blood coagulation functions.
Bile is bitter, which is related to “choleria.” In the Middle Ages, people believed that “black bile” caused melancholy and depression, while “yellow bile” caused irritability.

Case Study of Dreaming About the Liver
[Dream Example 1]
I recently experienced sleep paralysis. At 22, I had my first such experience in my life. The next day, I dreamed of vomiting blood, and within the blood was my liver. I also felt like my death was imminent, and even when I woke up, I was still shrouded in despair. What’s going on? I’m just an ordinary, decent person. What could I possibly do wrong? I don’t steal, rob, or commit murder or arson.
Dream Interpretation: Dreaming of vomiting blood indicates good health and the recent arrival of legitimate income.
[Dream Example 2]
I dreamed of someone performing liver surgery on me. The first time, the doctor sutured the wound. Not long after, another man cut open the wound and removed the stitches. I could see clearly that a piece of the wound had fallen down my trouser leg. I glanced at the scars all over my body.
Dream Interpretation: Dreaming of the liver indicates emotional repression and outbursts. Dreaming of liver damage and needing surgery suggests that improper emotional management in daily life may lead to poor interpersonal relationships.
[Dream Example 3]
I have hepatitis B. The day before yesterday, I dreamed of going to the hospital for a checkup. I was diagnosed with a swollen liver and the doctor said it was incurable. I am a student currently preparing for an exam for the Ministry of Transportation.
Dream Interpretation: From a psychological perspective, this type of dream is generally caused by concerns about health. Repeated dreams of liver problems generally indicate that it’s time to get checked out. If you’re feeling unwell or are very worried, getting checked out is also recommended. Good luck!
