A dream about vomiting black liquid from your mouth.

Dream Analysis: September 14, 2017

[Dream Content]
In the dream, I found myself in a place that resembled my workplace. The atmosphere was bright. For some reason, I put something in my mouth that was clearly not meant to be consumed—something like detergent or disinfectant. Realizing it was wrong, I immediately spat it out.

However, no matter how much I spat, a thick black liquid kept coming out of my mouth. Eventually, the black liquid changed to a dark navy blue color. While vomiting, I thought to myself, “This might be it for me.”

What could this dream possibly mean?

[Interpretation]

Apologies for the delay in analyzing this dream.

I believe it stems from feelings of guilt—perhaps for having said something that might have hurt someone. You may be overthinking the situation a bit, though.

Alternatively, this dream could reflect a conflict, where in the heat of the moment, you said something harsh without meaning to.

Either way, the dream suggests that you are carrying guilt over something you said.

Detergent or disinfectant typically symbolizes “cleaning” or “disinfection.” These substances are associated with eliminating bacteria and purifying. By consuming them in the dream and then expelling dirty, black substances, it suggests the purging of impurities or negative feelings within yourself.

The black liquid may symbolize feelings you harbor but dislike acknowledging—things like jealousy, contempt, or malice toward others. The act of expelling these in the dream could be seen as your mind trying to rid itself of these emotions.

It’s not unusual for a dream to give form to the darker emotions we struggle to admit, even to ourselves. By recognizing these emotions, you might find relief and self-acceptance.

Acknowledging thoughts like, “I feel jealous over something so trivial,” or “These negative feelings must stem from past experiences,” could provide you with a chance to reflect and better understand yourself.

If you ever have a dream like this, it might be a good opportunity to examine your emotions and confront them head-on.

In the previous analysis, the focus was limited to regrettable words or “misspeaking.” However, the dream can also encompass broader negative feelings, such as internal struggles and unpleasant emotions.
