Dreaming of Healing

To be healed in a dream, by physician, by god, by water, foretold troubles resolving, debts forgiven, strength returning to the house. Dreams of Asclepius were counted among the most fortunate a person could receive.

To heal others while sick yourself warned of a dreamer who tends every field but their own. The old counsel, take the medicine you keep prescribing.

Healing dreams, the wound closing, the healer arriving, are the psyche's own repair made visible, integration doing its slow work under the surface. They tend to come after the hard inner labor, a receipt more than a promise.

A healing that does not hold, wounds reopening, medicine refused, is the image of change attempted without the root being touched. The dream is not cruel, it is exact.
