Fainting dream meaning is explained below using 11 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Silvana Amar
If you remember dreams in which you are fainting, the setting of the dream and the details leading to the fainting spell are important. Fainting in your dream suggests that you are unable to consciously confront the issues or the topic that is being raised by the unconscious. In daily life, we faint when we are ill or when we are overcome by environmental forces (i.e. heat, smells, a traumatic event or a dramatic visual image). In the dream, internal forces, images or emotions that may be to powerful for us to process may have an overwhelming effect on the dream ego and fainting occurs.
The fainting dream may be the first step in a process of becoming more aware of a particular area of your life.
The unconscious will continue to send up messages and eventually you may be able to experience the unconscious psychic event that currently results in fainting.
