Pain

To dream of feeling physical pain in your dream might be related to a vivid nightmare or sleep paralysis. It is not uncommon to get hurt, shot or stabbed in your dream and physically feel it as you remain in your bed. Often times if the dreamer sleeps in an uncomfortable position or sleeps on their arm, then pain will be incorporated within the context of your dream. The area you experience pain in dream is often connected to an emotional pain that remains unconscious. For example: shot in the heart connects to feelings, emotions, love, relationships; whereas being stabbed in the stomach would be connected to your instincts or gut feelings.

Pain is the first signal of danger when 'something isn't right.' If you are dreaming of being in pain, perhaps you are not recognizing this sensation in waking life. If you dream that someone else is in pain, explore the side of you that this person may represent. There is pain involved, although you are not owning up to it. To dream of being afraid of something that may be painful, and yet doesn't really occur, suggests that you are being overly sensitive in a situation. Dreams often use intense drama as a way of having an impact on you that makes you explore what you fail to acknowledge. See Blood, Attack and Being Chased and also Shadow.
