Dreaming of an Illness That Makes You Swell - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may show unspoken feelings or built-up fatigue becoming intensely noticeable through changes in your body.
A certain part of you, such as your face, hands, or legs, swells noticeably, and your clothes or shoes no longer fit. You may check your body in the mirror or worry that someone will notice.
Korean lore: Traditionally, swelling has sometimes been linked to inner burdens or stagnant energy. Because something appears to be growing, it may also be seen as showing that worry has become heavier. (In folk dream interpretations, bodily changes and swelling are read as images of emotions or life's burdens showing on the outside.)
Through the mind: This dream may come when hurt you've swallowed or work you've put off feels like it's growing inside you. Actual sensations in your body or discomfort in bed may also have shaped the dream.
