Cough
A persistent cough often touches a low state — something irritating the body, a vitality run thin that asks for care. The dream may ask where you feel worn down or unwell, what habit needs tending for you to recover, and whether the discomfort, yours or others', is a passing thing you'll ultimately emerge from.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cough, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you are aggravated by a constant cough indicates a state of low health; but one from which you will recuperate if care is observed in your habits.
To dream of hearing others cough, indicates unpleasant surroundings from which you will ultimately emerge.
