Islamic Interpretation
Seeing inflammation of the chest membrane or suffering from pleurisy in a dream signifies a sinful person who is being afflicted with punishment as a warning and a reminder. Such an illness represents divine admonition meant to awaken the dreamer’s conscience, restrain him from wrongdoing, and prompt sincere repentance. It may indicate hardship sent to purify one’s sins, humble the heart, and redirect the person toward obedience, righteousness, and moral correction before more severe consequences follow.
