Quinsy
Quinsy — a painful swelling of the throat — often touches discouraging employments, with anxiety over others' sickness. The dream may ask where something is closing your throat against speech, and whether a constriction in your work or your ability to voice things is the source of the discouragement weighing on you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for quinsy, 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 of being afflicted with this disease, denotes discouraging employments.
To see others with it, sickness will cause you much anxiety.
