Vomiting

Dreaming about somebody else being sick

What does it mean to dream you see somebody vomiting?

A smaller group and reported quite differently. The disgust is the content, and the dreamer is a witness rather than a participant.

Dreamers describe wanting to get away, and frequently describe being unable to, which moves these towards the trapped material rather than the bodily one.

Where the person is somebody they care for, particularly a child, the reports change character and belong with the saving-someone group instead. What dreamers describe there is helplessness rather than disgust.

Nothing here supports the traditional reading about rejecting something or someone. It is one of the older claims in dream dictionaries and there is nothing behind it.

Where this reads well

Little to offer beyond correcting the standard reading, which is worth doing on its own.

Where it is harder

Disgust is among the stickier dream emotions and dreamers report it persisting into the morning.

Worth asking yourself

Who was it? Could I get away? Was I disgusted, or worried about them?

Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
