Youth Alcohol Abuse: What Does It Mean to Dream You Have Cancer and Are Dying?
Question by Pek-Mom: What does it mean to dream you have cancer and are dying?
I had a dream last night that I had throat cancer and was dying. There was a new, radical procedure that they could try to save me, but no one would talk to me about it. My parents and the doctors were whispering about it so that I would not here their discussion as the procedure was very risky. Now I am a 30 yr. old woman, so my parents would not be the decision-makers in this case. The entire time I was going through this experience, “dream”, I kept saying, “I have to do this for my son”, and “you must save me so I can see him grow up”. I kept telling my parents and my husband to make sure my son knows that he was EVERYTHING to me “in case”. However, I was determined to fight and survive.
I woke up very scared and freaked out by this dream. I have no idea what to think. Anyone?

Do you smoke? If you do, or if you are using any type of smokeless tobacco, this dream is a big wake-up call. You need to stop the habit immediately, and you “have to do this for your son.”
I am hesitant to suggest other interpretations, because if you are a smoker, I don’t want to provide any opportunity for you to say, “That doesn’t apply to me.” But the dream is a warning about some dangerous practice that is putting your life at risk. It could be alcohol or any other type of substance abuse, “Throat cancer” could indicate either tobacco use or drinking.
The decision-makers are your parents; this suggests that you are not being “adult” in taking responsibility for yourself. It could also suggest that the habit began in your childhood or youth. The very risky “procedure” is your choice to quit. The risk of failure is quite high, even among those who admit they have a problem.
This is a very good dream. It is your opportunity to fight and survive.
