Dreaming of pain may foretell joy
Vinaya Katoch Manhas

The least pain in our little finger gives us more concern and uneasiness than the destruction of millions of our fellow-beings.

— W. Hazlitt

PAIN is generally the outcome of some activity which takes place in a dream. As against other symbols, this particular symbol is not seen, it is felt. It is a sensory stimulus. Quite a few people after dreaming of pain tend to get up complaining of pain in that particular part of the body.

As per Indian texts, to see pain in your arms and legs is considered to be lucky for the dreamer. Should a man dream that he is having a headache then he should not give away the secrets of his business or profession to anyone else. Should a person dream that he has severe pain in his joints, such as knee or the wrists, then the person can rest assured that he will have a healthy old age. He shall not suffer similar complaints during old age. Should the person, on the contrary, dream that he is consuming cocaine in order to deal with the pain then he shall have a long life. Should a woman dream that she is undergoing severe and unbearable pain then she may rest assured that if she is not married she will soon be married into a very good house, which shall bring her immense happiness and peace. To dream that you are suffering from stomach pain foretells healthy and prosperous life.

 


As per westerners, to dream of yourself in pain ensures your happiness. It foretells useless regrets over trivial transactions. Seeing others in pain warns you against making mistakes.

Psychoanalytically, dreaming of pain warns you of some emotional trauma that you are going through. It signifies hurt feelings and emotions. Should a person dreamof pain in a particular body part and wake up actually feeling the pain in his body it simply indicates that either the dream symbol acted as the cause or the result of the pain.

Many a times, a part of your body is undergoing a problem but you tend to ignore it and that becomes a cause or a stimulus for the dream. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to feel phantom pains after having a dream of pain in a particular part of the body.
