Pain in dreams is an interesting phenomenon. Sometimes the impetus is the uncomfortable position of the sleeper; thus the body tells you, "Darling, turn over to the other side." Moreover, the ability of the mind to produce physical stimuli corresponding to the events of a dream is amazing in itself. From an emotional point of view, dreams with elements of physical reactions are more realistic, or, more correctly, more real. Pain often refers to a specific area of bodily injury. Such sensations are most relevant in dreams where there are bruises, infections or amputations, and physical sensations are accompanied by visual images. Try to remember exactly where the pain was felt and match that part of the body with the most closely related aspects of your life. Was the pain caused by you, another person, or an object? Is it caused on purpose or by accident? Was the pain severe enough to lead to amputation or was it just an inconvenience? Psychological. In dreams, we often face dilemmas that are the source of the sleeper's anxiety. Some things, the immediate meaning of which is not available to us, remain unknown even as a result of introspection, because the traumatic effect of their unraveling can be truly devastating. If the dream is the source of psychological pain, it should be treated in much the same way as a dream in which there is physical pain. Is the pain so great that help is needed, or is it indicated only as a result of the rapid flow of any actions? How often do painful sensations occur? Does the pain get worse or stay the same? Does residual pain bother you in real life and how does it affect your daily responsibilities? Do you feel that you have enough knowledge and resources to deal with the pain on your own, or do you feel that the roots of the pain reach deep into your memory? Depending on the answers you give to these questions, you may need professional help to deal with the psychological pain you experience in your dreams.
