Dreaming That a Friend Is Ill - dream meaning with inherited lore
Your concern for that friend, or the sense of distance you feel in the relationship, may have appeared in the form of illness.
A close friend lies there with a sick-looking face or contacts you sounding weak. You may want to be by their side, but feel helpless and unsure what to do.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a dream of someone close being ill has sometimes been seen as a scene that makes you reflect on your relationship with them. Rather than meaning something will happen to that person, it is often interpreted as your concern about their well-being and changes in the relationship showing through. (In folk dream interpretations, the illness of someone close has been read in connection with concern about the relationship or changes in communication.)
Through the mind: This dream may appear when you have been in less frequent contact lately or have been thinking about what your friend is going through. You may also be seeing a tired part of yourself reflected in your friend’s image.
