A dream that you suffer from an ache or a pain could be a sign of a real physical problem.
Your unconscious may be warning you of a problem that is not serious enough for you to notice in waking life, but that could become worse if you don’t take care of it now.
An ache or pain in a dream can symbolize emotional or spiritual pain.
The location of the ache or pain in your dream can be significant.
For example, a headache can mean that you are are trying to solve a problem by using reason when you rely on your instincts more.
An ache in your hand or arm can mean that you are being too controlling.
