Health Advice

Health advice, warnings and prescriptions in dreams, both asked-for and volunteered...

The vast and very ancient literature on this topic suggests dreams are always in touch with the deepest processes of health and illness. My personal experience has been that dream-prescriptions are rarely out-and-out wrong, but are sometimes incomplete, missing some aspect of an illness, or treating the symptoms and overlooking subtle underlying causes. In short, they're just as fallible as doctors. Still, their over-all track record in my case has been noticeably better than the Western doctors I've seen, and they're sure cheaper. Besides, you don't have to sit in a waiting room with awful magazines. So I have no complaints! I'd take dream-prescriptions seriously. Literally? Well, they sometimes are symbolic of some psychological or emotional advice, but often they're exactly what they seem--and you won't know if a remedy's good if you don't try it.

This list covers physical ailments and remedies; for dreams of emotional and psychological healing, see healing from abuse and trauma.
