Pain
Dream Symbol Interpretation
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.
