An interpretation of abscess dreams

An interpretation of abscess dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Dreaming about an abscess suggests a loss, something you will miss like a tooth. See: Teeth It can symbolize something that’s been held onto for too long. It’s festering. It can symbolize defect of character, or negativity. Negativity festers and causes pain. An abscess is a wound and dreams can use a wound to the body to symbolize a wound to the psyche. The characteristics of the dream wound define the symbolism. An abscess is an infection. So then the question is, what’s infecting you? What’s brewing beneath the surface? See: Infecting, Wounds An abscess in the mouth can symbolize an inarticulate pain—the mouth is used to communicate, and an abscess is painful, so the ideas connect to create symbolism. It can symbolize using words to wound. See: Mouths It can symbolize the sort of pain that comes from the deepest depths of a person; for example, from the loss of a cherished loved one, or existential angst. See: Pain It can mean that an illness of the mind or body is passing, or a time of pain or suffering soon will be over. It’s come to the surface, and now you can be rid of it. See: Illness An abscess can symbolize disgust with the body and its functions, such as defecation and urination. See: Excrement A body covered in abscesses can symbolize fear of loss of material wealth or possessions. Or think of it as the many self-wounds that develop from excessive self-criticism, or self-hatred. It’s a picture of how you feel.
