Pus
To dream of pus represents feelings about a situation in your life that is festering, getting worse, or needs to be addressed with a sense of embarrassment at having potentially ruined yourself. A need to confront and deal with unresolved issues or hidden problems that are causing distress or discomfort that you may have ruined yourself without being aware of it. Feelings about something unhealthy or unproductive in your life is festering, requiring attention, action, or release. Unresolved issues, or toxic situations that need to be addressed.
Positively, dreaming about pus may represent a desire to rid yourself of harmful influences, toxic relationships, or emotional baggage that is weighing you down. Your readiness to confront difficult truths or face challenging situations in order to achieve emotional healing and growth.
Negatively, dreaming of pus could represent feelings of disgust, revulsion, or discomfort with certain aspects of yourself or your life. Avoiding dealing with unpleasant emotions or difficult situations, allowing them to fester and worsen over time. Feelings of shame, guilt, or embarrassment about something that you find unpleasant or unacceptable that is festering or noticeably getting worse. A fear of confronting painful truths, acknowledging personal flaws, or dealing with the consequences of your actions. A problematic situation that is worsening or spreading negativity in your life. Holding onto negative feelings or experiences that are festering beneath the surface, causing emotional discomfort or turmoil.
To dream of forcing pus out of your body represents a need to confront festering unresolved issues. Proactively dealing with issues head-on rather than allowing them to fester and continue to cause harm. Feelings of taking active steps to purge yourself of negativity, discomfort, or emotional pain that has been festering within you. A conscious effort to confront the unpleasant situation and actively seek solutions to alleviate the stress and discomfort it has caused.
Dreams about pus appear to be common to people experiencing financial problems that are getting worse.
Example: An older woman dreamed of forcing pus out of her finger. In waking life, she was experiencing financial problems which put the fate of her business and mother's medical care at risk. She was unable to pay her bills. In this case, the pus squeezed out of her finger may have reflected recognition of the urgent need to draw attention to, proactively address, and resolve the festering financial problems she was facing so that they couldn't get any worse while hoping she hadn't ruined herself already by staying quiet about them.
Example 2: An elderly woman dreamed of seeing pimples on her face with pus. She found it unusual because she usually never gets pimples. She was deciding whether or not to pop them. In waking life, she had tried to help her son improve his life but ended up with $6000 in debt on her credit card which she could only pay the interest on. In this case, the pus in the pimples may have reflected her feelings about the festering embarrassment of interest payments on her credit card debt caused by her son making her look bad as a parent with a financially hopeless adult child.
Example 3: A man dreamed of removing yellow claw-like things from his fingers and seeing pus come out of the puncture holes. A fingernail fell off. In waking life, he was experiencing work stress and lost clients. He felt personal growth was reduced. In this case, the pus may have reflected his feelings about a festering embarrassment at work that needed to be addressed to prevent further client losses while having a sense of potentially ruining his personal growth at work.
