Pain
Pain in dreams often carries the weight of unprocessed regret or the ache of a choice that hasn't yet been acknowledged in waking life. Sometimes it arrives not as warning but as witness — the body's way of saying something matters more than you've been willing to admit.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pain, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

To dream that you are in pain, will make sure of your own unhappiness. This dream foretells useless regrets over some trivial transaction.
To see others in pain, warns you that you are making mistakes in your life.
