Body & Health in Dreams

Dreams featuring the body offer intimate insights into how we perceive ourselves and our place in the world. They can highlight areas where we feel strong or vulnerable, beautiful or flawed, healthy or in need of care.

Body dreams often emerge during times of physical change, health concerns, or shifts in self-image. They may also reflect how ‘embodied’ or connected we feel to our physical selves versus how disconnected or dissociated we might be.

Remember that the body in dreams is often metaphorical—a broken leg might represent feeling unable to move forward in life, while strong arms could symbolize capability and power to act.
