Personal Focus: Hospitals tend to evoke powerful reactions. The discomfort that color associations tend to overshadow the benevolence connected to hospitals as places of healing. It is common for people to fear hospitals, adding a touch of irony to our relationship with the healing process. Healing is transformation and the first step to any major change is the breakdown that precedes the breakthrough.
Since the breakdown is the scary part, we avoid it, just as some people avoid hospitals in waking life. It is easy to forget that in order for surgeons to heal an illness they must first cut the body open, creating a wound. And since not everyone who checks into a hospital is fortunate enough to check out, they are indelibly connected to the fear of death and dying. However, remember that death is always followed by rebirth.
In this way, being in or near a hospital in a dream is always going to indicate that some healing is either underway or necessary. If you are the patient, then consider that your sense of self is undergoing a significant shift. If you are a visitor, then the healing transformation is connected to a Character Aspect or particular way of being as embodied by the person you are going to see. If you are playing the part of healer, the dream may be helping you step into that role in some area of life that is undergoing a transformation.
The fear or repulsion that is present in the dream will give you an idea of how much resistance you may be unconsciously engaged in. If you are experiencing a health issue in life, the image of a hospital may be literal, in which case your dream relationship to the hospital will inform you of underlying resistance to surrender to your body and its functioning (or lack thereof).

The healing may be physical, psychological, emotional or spiritual. By paying attention to this dream you may be able to identify the source of your pain, and where and how the healing needs to take place. Think about why you or someone else was in the hospital in the dream. You may ask yourself, “What is going on in the dream? What is the prognosis, and what is the cure?” Answering these questions in light of a situation or issue from your daily life could be very helpful and, at times, enlightening.
