Ian Wallace Interpretation:
Various types of life-threatening illness in dreams represent different kinds of emotional unease in waking life. For example, cardiac conditions indicate relationships where your heart really isn’t in it any more. A wasting disease suggests that you are wasting your time in an emotional relationship. Take care to look after your emotional health as well as your physical health. If a situation is causing you to feel ill at ease, perhaps even chronically so, then take positive action to remedy it. In which of your relationships do you need to restore a healthy emotional balance? In the same way that we may try to heal our physical ailments ourselves, we often try to work through our emotional tensions alone. Sometimes, however, we have to ask other people to help us - this can manifest as dreams in which professional health workers are giving us care and attention.
