Cancer dream meaning is explained below using
22 different sources.
Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Silvana Amar
Dreams are symbolic and not literal -- most of the time. Cancer tumors in dreams represent a variety of unprocessed psychological and emotional materials that the dreamer may be obsessing on. They represent all of those things that bother, disturb, anger, or hurt us and that we never directly deal with or let go of.
The dreamer’s mental, psychic or emotional problems may be proliferating and infecting many areas of thought and function. You may be experiencing anxiety and fear as a result of a bad habit or a certain situation in your daily life. However, if you are very worried and cannot get it out of your mind, go for a physical. When is the last time you did that anyway? In more superstitious interpretations, dreaming of cancer may be considered a dream of the contrary, but also of warning!

Interpretation 3 — Martha Clarke
To dream that you have this disease does not have to be a prediction (although if you have symptoms of discomfort, it is worth a check). Cancer is a tumor, and the dream could mean that an undesired element is becoming part of yourself or is growing in excess; for example a growing obsession that can affect your personality, and even your health. Having cancer in dreams also indicates that you do not properly deal with your emotions which end up being destructive; the dream is a warning against that.

Interpretation 4 — Pamela Ball
1- Cancer is one of the prime fears that a human being has to deal with, so to dream of a cancer indicates we are out of harmony with our body. It indicates fear of illness and equally can represent something ‘eating away’ at us usually a negative idea or concept.
2- Intellectually we may have worked through our fears but still be left with attitudes and beliefs that cannot be cleared away. Very often this appears as cancer in dreams.
3- The Mother, the Moon and the astrological sign of Cancer.

Interpretation 5 — Dream Explanations - Anonymous
Dreams of cancer represent unexpressed emotions, guilt, anger, resentment and a deep fear of the repercussions of fully expressing your feelings. You may be allowing guilt to eat away at you. Astrologically, Cancer represents sensitivity, empathy, and one who puts their imagination to use. This dream may be guiding you to spend time with people who understand, love and nurture you. Set boundaries, but be cautious of too much armor.
