Illness iconnegative thinking that leads to unproductive attitudes and beliefs

'Illness' in a dream represents negative thinking that has led to unproductive attitudes and beliefs. In the Universal Language of the Mind, thought is cause. Illness -- dis-ease -- originates from thought patterns that are working against your well-being. When these individual negative thoughts accumulate and organize into attitudes and beliefs, they create a systemic condition that affects your entire state of mind. This is more than a single unproductive thought. Illness reflects an organized pattern of negative thinking that has become embedded in how you approach life. It has become an attitude -- a collective set of thoughts that shapes your experience in an unproductive way. When illness shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to examine not just individual thoughts, but the larger patterns and attitudes that those thoughts have created. What belief system is creating dis-ease in your life? Is it a belief in your own unworthiness? A pattern of victimhood? A habit of pessimism? Identify the attitude, then begin dismantling it one thought at a time. Replace each negative thought with its productive opposite. Over time, the unproductive attitude will be replaced by one that supports your health, growth, and wholeness.
