Dreaming that an illness returns - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may be tied to feeling tense at the thought that a worry or emotion you thought was over might rise again.
An illness you thought had healed returns, or old symptoms come back. You check your condition anxiously and worry that you may have to go through the same thing again.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams in which an illness returns have often been interpreted as scenes showing an unresolved worry or something that keeps repeating. They may also be seen as pointing to the need to look over and sort something out once more. (In folk dream interpretations, scenes of relapse are sometimes read less as predictions about actual health and more as images of recurring worries and lingering feelings.)
Through the mind: A problem you thought was in the past may be bothering you again, or you may be on guard in case a similar situation repeats. It may also be worth noticing whether you are asking yourself to recover too quickly.
