Dream symbol · B
Boil
An expression of suppressed anger or accumulated tension seeking a way to surface.
Dream interpretation
A boil in a dream symbolizes an emotional problem that has been ignored for too long and has reached a boiling point. If the boil bursts, it is a good sign of catharsis and healing—pain and toxic thoughts are leaving your consciousness. If it simply hurts, your attention is focused on an old wound or insult that has not yet been processed. In folklore, this is a sign that you will soon be free from an unpleasant person or a heavy commitment.
