| Domain | Definition |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of seeing sores, denotes that illness will cause you loss and mental distress. To dress a sore, foretells that your personal wishes and desires will give place to the pleasure of others. To dream of an infant having a deep sore so that you can see the bone, denotes that distressing and annoying incidents will detract from your plans, and children will be threatened with contagion. To dream of sores on yourself, portends early decay of health and impaired mentality. Sickness and unsatisfactory business will follow this dream. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |
