Abdomen
The abdomen, the body's centre, often points to where our vitality and appetites are held. To dream of it can speak to great expectation tempered by the need to husband one's strength — pleasure approaching, but asking to be balanced against the work still to be done. The dream weighs energy against indulgence.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for abdomen, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see your abdomen in a dream, foretells that you will have great expectations, but you must curb hardheadedness and redouble your energies on your labor, as pleasure is approaching to your hurt.
To see your abdomen shriveled, foretells that you will be persecuted and defied by false friends.
To see it swollen, you will have tribulations, but you will overcome them and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
To see blood oozing from the abdomen, foretells an accident or tragedy in your family.
The abdomen of children in an unhealthy state, portends that contagion will pursue you.
