Dream of patch of skin falling off, chickenpox/mumps.

[3DStudent]

I had a notable dream last night. Basically, on my forehead on the right side, there was a patch about 3/4 inch or 18mm in diameter where my skin was coming off. And I put it back because it didn't seem right and I wanted to cover the wound. Then I started to break out on little bumps on my face the diameter of a pencil. It looked like chicken pox, but in the dream I said something like, "Oh no I have the mumps." I actually didn't know before just looking now what the mumps are and just thought it was something like chicken pox. But it turns out it's more a swelling of the face and jaw.

I thought it could be related to daily processing from yesterday. I remember having what felt like a mosquito bite on the top of my head that I noticed in the shower. Just a small acute area when rubbed that was painful. So that may be the skin coming off part of the dream. And I saw on another thread a video posted about a shelling in Syria and it showed a woman with many little blisters on her body. So that my have been the chicken pox / mis-attributed mumps part.

But I looked up some of the keywords:

To dream of chicken pox represents a problem you are experiencing that can only be solved with inaction or patience. You may be experiencing a negative situation where you have to "bite your tongue", sit it out, or impotently experience a problem from beginning to end without being able to act against it lest you aggravate it. Chicken pox may be a sign that you need to put priorities first or that enjoyment needs to be placed on hold for more serious matters.

I'd not say inaction, but patience yes. Things take time to change, and continuous efforts and doing what it doesn't like is what will give results I think. And yes on priorities, aka Aim(s).

To dream that you have the mumps, suggests that you are unable to communicate your point across. Your voice is not being heard. Alternatively, it indicates pent up frustration and anger.

Maybe on the communication. Yesterday my grandpa asked me about my diet and if I eat bread. I've been gluten free for about 7 years now and he knows I cook my food and I say I only eat animals mostly. I think he is poking fun at me sometimes, but then again he forgets things and does actually show signs of his age. But I can definitely relate to the pent up frustration and anger, mostly caused by myself with dissociation. I've needed to have a big emotional release for a while, but can only muster up a few tears every now and then.

To dream of your skin represents protection or shield of your inner self. It serves as a physical boundary and how close you let others get to you. Alternatively, your skin indicates that you are being too superficial or shallow.

To dream that your skin is covered with rashes or other skin deformities signifies your fear of facing a harsh reality. You are afraid of making a wrong impression. The dream may also be a pun that you are making a rash decision. If you dream that your skin has been burned, then it implies that you are unwilling let down your guard. Your line of defense has been compromised. This dream may also be a metaphor that you are "getting burned" or humiliated by someone or some situation.

Dreaming that your skin is melting, deteriorating, or developing holes implies that you are losing your defenses. Your guard is down. Alternatively, the dream means that you are being worn down.

I think the protection of inner self is applicable, as I've been trying to patch up my gaps in awareness. I do have a bit of fear of facing harsh reality, but it isn't paralyzing or anything. The last part was most apt, losing defenses and guard being down. This might be related to the fact that I was buying some necessities online last night and I did a bit too much browsing for about 45 minutes.

Other notable things that come to mind were that there was no emotion or panic in the dream, just matter of fact putting the skin back on and having these bumps on my face. And it was at my old house. After realizing the ailments in the dream I thought, "I'll have to call in sick for work."

Another thought was that the skin falling off and the bumps on face could both be effects of nuclear or gas warfare. And living close to the city and a few military bases, and with the US recently deliberately bombing Syrian forces to make way for IS, it leaves a bit of an unsettling feeling with the possibly of war seemingly increasing.

Maybe notable too was that when I woke up I had a text from 3:33 in the morning that seemed like spam from some random email address. It said something like, "Get ready for a night Shep..." and it was cut off there. I deleted it and didn't open it, so I didn't see the rest. But the only thing I can think of is shepherd, if that's what it had said. I could have read it wrong, but I thought the time of 3:33 a.m. was a little bit creepy (recalling John Keel here).

Anyways just some thoughts I thought I'd share.

Hello 3Dstudent, i've had the same kind of fream several times in the past, and under different conditions, but all indicated a underlying stress factor, or thought that was not fully processed.


I wanna bring the subject of beauty, self image and vanity, since in one of the dreams i had this fear of loosing my face under the blisters and pinpos and rashes was prominent.
In that sense, i think the interpretation that talks about putting priorities firts instead of the superficial applies,

On another dream i was in a stae of stress and saw this video and inmediately my mind put that in my dream, meaning i could have been vulnerable to not be able to process it while awake.


Some interpretations could be loosing your shield/protection or loosing the superficial and expose you to the truth "bare skin" (literally)


In another sense it could indicate fear of shame, when one covers his/her face as a sign of shame, shame of loosing your skin. like when we are little and we are afraid of what others may say to us.


Other reason for this could be mild paranoia, and thinking about one thing over and over and sudently you dream that thing.. In that case, it is maybe a sign that you are in a constat stress (mayor or not) but constant , and need a moment of true silence and disconect from routine help you inner system to say "breathe out".

Hi 3Dstudent,

I just happened to re-read the 18 July Session about parasites,

http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,39067.0/topicseen.html,

which is quite noteworthy in such situations - our skin is a receiver and also a transmitter, so think about this, what could possibly hinder you from seeing some hindrances to your progress.

You might also need some holiday, perhaps? Or just to get away from a toxic situation, mind-frame?

Also, just some thoughts. :)

Thanks for the replies. That makes sense. I was really in a bad, mildly depressed mood yesterday. And a great feeling of being overwhelmed, as I'm behind on some threads. I wrote down that I've got too much/bitten off more than I can chew, can't keep up with life, and tired of being a human doing - want to be a human being.

I was feeling like I need a break and to stop and just smell the coffee/roses. Sometimes routine life can seem meaningless, like going through the motions. I realize the Aim comes into play here.
