What is the meaning behind dreams about a cancer diagnosis?

Question

had a dream this morning just before I woke up, that I was diagnosed with cancer. A woman from a doctor's office called me and told me that I have cancer.

She said.."You never know how long you're going to live."

What could the significance be in terms of dream interpretation?

Answer 1

This depends upon your personal attitude about cancer.  If it has had a devastating effect on your life because of its association with family members or friends, this this could be a reminder that you are mortal.

This is definitely the dream of an adult.  You might interpret it as a sign of maturity (even if you are a teen).

You might best determine the meaning of the dream by asking yourself what does it mean to you personally.  It probably has little or no predictive power.
