Suffering Pain

To suffer pain in a dream signifies abundant gains to be obtained in one’s working life. It indicates that the dreamer will take an innovative step greatly admired by his employer, will rise in rank because of this step, will receive a certificate of appreciation or a plaque, and thereafter will attain abundant earnings. If the dreamer is unemployed, it is interpreted as meaning that he will suddenly become the owner of his own business, and his own master, through the financial support of another person.

To see oneself suffering pain in a dream indicates that, if the person who sees the dream owes a considerable amount of money to someone else, he will be unable to repay this debt at once and will therefore experience trouble and problems with the creditor; however, just when he has fallen into utter despair, a lump sum of money will come from somewhere, and he will pay his debt with this money.

If you have no partner in your working life, it points to a lawful and auspicious sum of money to be obtained collectively.

To see neck pain in a dream is interpreted as the existence around you of an ill-matched, envious, constantly tense and tension-producing, ill-mannered person. It indicates that the dreamer will be saddened by someone around him who has become a burden and a source of trouble, will suffer material and spiritual loss, yet will still be unable to make that person happy; and because that person is not happy, he himself will not be able to be happy.

To suffer neck pain in a dream, however, shows that the dreamer sacrifices himself for those around him.

To see shoulder pain in a dream is interpreted as meaning that the person who sees the dream will enter upon wrong paths because of mistaken choices and will therefore suffer great losses and damages.

To see abdominal pain in a dream signifies that lawful money earned will be lost upon an unlawful path.

To see navel pain in a dream signifies the unrest, quarrels, and betrayals occurring or destined to occur within the family. It indicates that the person who sees the dream has been betrayed by his wife or husband, that quarrels of words will consequently take place, and that although it may seem as though the problems will never be resolved, the ice will gradually and slowly melt with the intervention of close acquaintances and the elders of the family.

If, while suffering navel pain in a dream, blood is also coming from the navel, it signifies that the betrayal will not be remedied despite all efforts at reconciliation—that is, despite the intervention of close acquaintances and the family—and that the dreamer will not forgive. If the dreamer is unmarried, it is interpreted as meaning that a man he greatly dislikes will become obsessed with him and harass him.

With the right perspective, it can signify restoring balance, recovery, and developing a new understanding.

Uncertainty, indecision, or a tendency to take on excessive burden may be observed.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
