According to the magazine Zdorovie, common illnesses such as colds and the flu can manifest in dreams 1-2 days prior, while more severe conditions (such as gastritis, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases) may appear in dreams 1-2 months beforehand. Extremely serious diseases (like cancer) could show up in dreams 1-2 years in advance.

| Dreaming is like a “health indicator” (Image: VNE) |
There is a logical explanation for this: Dreams may depend on nerve impulses from the organs to the brain. Almost all organs in a healthy body remain “silent,” while they “alert” us when something is wrong.
Research has also shown that in the early stages of illness, the warning signals are often too weak for us to notice.
Dreaming acts as a “health indicator,” responding immediately to changes in health status. When the body has an issue, people often dream around themes of conflict: war, arguments…
Heart
You might dream of falling and hitting your head or suffering a fatal blow to the heart. The fear of death lingers even after waking suddenly.
Lungs
You may dream of drowning, suffocating, or being trapped in a small window, experiencing real distress. Sometimes, you might feel a heavy weight pressing down on your chest, accompanied by anxiety and fear.
Circulation
If you dream of walking barefoot in dirty mud, it could indicate issues related to your feet.
Stomach
You might dream of disgusting food that you are forced to eat. In cases of gastritis, you could dream of something repulsive, like spoiled fish or rotten meat…
Skin
In your dreams, you might see damaged skin or unusual colors (like blue). You may also dream of spots resembling burns, sores, or ulcers on the walls or ceilings.
Spine
You may dream of carrying a heavy object on your back. It can feel like your skin is being scraped, burning, or experiencing other discomforts in the spine area.
Throat Infection
You might dream of pulling a red ribbon from your throat or swallowing nails… these scenes are definitely related to the throat.
Flu
You may dream of arguing or fighting, or of someone trying to bind and torture you… and you struggle to escape but feel hopeless.
Nervous System
Functional nervous disorders are often linked to dreaming repeatedly about a particular scene at night, causing feelings of sadness and fear. You might feel as if you are naked, experiencing embarrassment, discomfort, and not knowing where to hide.
Overactive nerves are associated with scenes of train stations, crowds, and turbulent seas. You may dream of missing a train or bus or being unable to accomplish something. People prone to anxiety and panic often dream about war, disasters, or being chased…
However, if such dreams keep recurring over weeks or months, it’s advisable to be cautious and consider consulting a doctor.
