Sweat dream meaning is explained below using 7 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox
This is evidence of some underlying fear, shame, guilt, or stress. On a social level, sweat is sometimes evidence of inner stress. This can reveal the presence of guilt or panic that betrays the person.
If you feel this may be the case in your dream, your interpretation should involve investigating secrets or issues in your waking life that you would rather keep hidden.

Interpretation 2 — Martha Clarke
It could be the result of a feverish state of the dreamer. But, if not a physical ailment, it is generally a positive dream that alludes to purification through hard work and bodily strength. It can also be interpreted as the fear that an aspect of your personality will be brought to light and will cause others to reject you.
