Joint (Body) – Dreaming about joints is indicative of injury or age. If you dream about having arthritis, it can mean that you are physically injured or less than healthy. Dreaming about joints almost always includes pain or disability. If is important to understand that dreams of this type are not meant to be taken literally, especially if you are young and do not show signs of joint problems. Instead, this is symbolic of a more abstract problem that is occurring in your life.
