Dreaming of vomiting in wicca: meaning
In wicca and related practices cleansing is a recurring theme: getting rid of what no longer serves before you take up something new. Vomiting in a dream is often read along those lines as a powerful image of letting go, of energy, feelings or influences that do not belong to you.
Within this tradition
Before beginning a ritual many wiccans cleanse themselves and the space: with water and salt, with the smoke of herbs, or with a bath. The idea is that you do not begin something sacred with everything you picked up during the day. Around the waning moon and the dark moon many practitioners also focus consciously on letting go and clearing out.
Within that frame a dream about vomiting is not read first as illness, but as the body doing in the dream world what the mind needs: bringing something out. What you vomit can stand for something you swallowed: words you did not say, anger you pushed down, or the negativity of an environment. After such a dream many people feel relieved, and that feeling is seen as a sign of a successful cleansing.
Being nauseous but unable to vomit can be read as something that stays stuck because you do not yet want to let it go. Someone else vomiting for you, as the realisation that you carry something from another person that is not yours.
Many practitioners close such a dream with a simple cleansing act, such as a bath with salt or opening a window. That is a habit, not a prescription. With real complaints you see a doctor.
