Measles
Measles — a spreading, feverish rash — often touch worry and anxious care interfering with your affairs, or trouble taken on for others. The dream may ask what contagious unease is breaking out across your business, and whether you're carrying anxiety for someone else's condition as much as for your own.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for measles, 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 have measles, denotes much worry, and anxious care will interfere with your business affairs.
To dream that others have this disease, denotes that you will be troubled over the condition of others.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you have this troublesome disorder shows that you will be fortunate, provided you engage in some disreputable or dishonest speculation, or in a robbery of money: but to conscientious people the omen does not hold good. If a girl dreams of having the measles, it predicts that a rogue will make love to her.
