Hives – Hives, the itchy, obnoxious skin ailment that pops up as an allergic reaction or because of stress, are a dream symbol of your health and the workings of your immune system. If you dream that you have hives, this indicates that your body is trying to fight off some foreign invader or disease, and your immune system is working overtime to combat it. If you dream that a child has hives, this is actually a symbol of health, and a sign that you will soon see that child in robust health or even enjoy health yourself. It may also be a sign that you are physically itchy when you sleep, and the sensation is creeping into your dreams.
