Infection

Infections in dreams reflect negative outside forces that hurt the mental, spiritual and emotional state of the dreamer. A symbol that is metaphoric relating to an inside problem that affects the wellbeing of the dreamer. Clues are found in the location of the infection. To dream of a mouth infection relates to poor speech or negative communication issues. Infections on the foot or leg mirrors issues with movement or lack of direction. To dream an infection in your arm relates to work. To dream of a yeast infection suggests pent up irritable emotions or negative thoughts that need curing. Alternately, it may even suggest internal conflict directed towards relationships.

The idea of infection can be both good and bad. We can be infected by laughter or become infected with something that makes us sick. The idea is that something that is in your environment is having an influence on you through osmosis. What type of friends are you surrounding yourself with and is it a healthy type of interaction? The infection had a cause and you are getting a message to explore where it came from. Only then can you solve the lack of wellness portrayed by this dream. See also Bacteria and also, Healing.
