Universal Landscape: Restoring balance from stress, fear, or guilt.
Dreaming Lens: Were you sweating in your dream? Was someone else? Was it subtle or profuse? Was the sweat visible, or was it evident by other means, such as stained clothes? Was the sweating connected with a specific physical activity and did you know what that was? Was it healthy sweating or indicative of fear or anxiety? Did you wake up sweating?
Personal Focus: There are both emotional and activity-orientated correlations to sweating and the appearance of sweat. However, the essential meaning assigned to sweat must connect with its most basic and primal function: to regulate the temperature of the physical body. We would die if this process did not operate effectively.
If you are sweating in your dream, your interpretation may uncover an unconscious message that some life experience is posing a threat to your equilibrium and balance. Heat represents a visceral reaction to perceived danger in the form of anger or aggression. Sweating represents your desire to restore balance from whatever might be the cause of these feelings of threat. If someone else in your dream is sweating, consider what their Character Aspect might represent for you. It may be that a particular way you have of being in the world is heating things up and a restoration of balance is necessary. Sweating also serves to rid the body of toxins, so dream sweat may point to the presence of underlying thoughts, ideas, or behaviors that are ultimately poisoning your sense of well being.
On a social level, sweat is sometimes evidence of inner stress. This can reveal the presence of guilt or panic that betrays the person beyond their ability to control their sweating. If you feel this may be the case in your dream, your interpretation should involve investigating secrets or issues in your waking life that you might rather keep hidden. Sweating may indicate that these thoughts have the power to reveal themselves through inadvertent means. Sweat appearing on the face or brow likely point to issues related to your persona and how others may perceive you. Underarm sweat connects directly to stress and anxiety. If this includes the presence of body odor, then your interpretation should look at situations that may be causing feelings of shame.
