Dreaming of the Heart

Dreaming of the heart symbolizes strong emotions within one's inner self. If the dream involves an abnormal heartbeat, it usually indicates unexpected events and possible setbacks in one's career or business. For women, it may suggest disturbances within the family, such as encounters with criminals or thieves.

Dreaming of counting one's heartbeats implies a subconscious desire for an exhilarating life and a longing to push one's physical abilities to the limit.

If the dream depicts the heart ceasing to beat, it similarly suggests the possibility of encountering misfortune or suffering. A dream where the heart breaks or shatters may indicate feeling unsafe due to someone close. However, dreaming of oneself or a loved one dying from heart disease should not be a cause for excessive concern. It represents a sign of a comfortable and slower-paced life, and it may suggest that the deceased person in the dream will have a long life.

Placing a hand on the chest in a dream is a sign of self-protection, reminding you to be cautious of enemies and the potential for danger or fatal harm. Dreams of a compressed chest indicate the possibility of experiencing losses such as theft or falling victim to deception, as well as feelings of internal grievances. Dreaming of chest pain suggests the likelihood of encountering immense sorrow.

Dreaming of a compressed or painful chest serves as a reminder to take care of your physical health and could indicate potential heart problems. If abnormalities are suspected, prompt medical examination is advised. Dreams of the heart being stabbed or shot typically foreshadow health issues, potentially related to heart disease, necessitating a timely visit to the hospital.
