Symbols / Vomiting
A reading for meaning, not prophecy
Vomiting is read as forced release — in the East expelling what is bad for you (吐), in the West purging held emotion or guilt, in Ibn Sirin's tradition disgorging wealth or a matter, willingly or not.

Three readings
Jung would read vomiting as the violent purging of what you cannot stomach — held emotion, guilt, or something swallowed that must come up. Unpleasant as it is, the dream often marks a necessary release of what was poisoning you.
Jungian dream interpretation, explained →周公解梦 reads vomiting as expulsion — ridding yourself of what no longer agrees with you; to vomit and feel relief marks a toxic matter released, distressing vomiting a difficulty being forced up. It is the body clearing what it cannot keep.
Chinese dream interpretation (周公解梦), explained →Ibn Sirin read vomiting as disgorging — returning wealth or a matter; willing vomiting could mean repentance or giving back what was not yours, unwilling a loss forced upon you. Framed as meaning: what do you need to bring up and be rid of?
Islamic dream interpretation, explained →Read as forced release — expelling what no longer agrees with you, whether held emotion, guilt, or something 'swallowed.' Vomiting then feeling relief is read as a toxic matter cleared; it asks what you need to be rid of.
Ibn Sirin read it as disgorging — willing vomiting as repentance or returning what wasn't yours, unwilling as a loss forced upon you. A prompt to give back or let go of something.
