In real life, I have a boil under my arm. Last night, I had a nightmare that I had breast cancer & lumps even on my chest & stomach, as well as breasts. Is this a premonition of me having breast cancer?
In real life, I get boils under my arms all the time, but then they go away & keep coming back & getting infected.

I think you were just conscious of the boil and that came out in your dream. I don't believe in premonitions (I know many people disagree with me). You may not be sleeping very well and are of course having disturbed dreams. i believe it is just that the boil was maybe irritated and you felt it in your sleep and it went into a bad nightmare.
Do you do self breast exams to make sure you have no lumps? Do it the same time each month while you are taking a shower in the morning. Better safe than sorry. I hope you can get some antibiotics for the boil. Do you have diabetes? I hope not but I know that people with diabetes are more prone to get boils frequently.

First, I think you should go to a doctor and start figuring out what is causing those boils in the first place. You might want to do an allergy test to see if you are allergic to something in your food or your environment.
You are clearly afraid of getting cancer through these boils, so seeing a doctor to rule out cancer would be a good idea. Finding out what causes the boils will help you to start making changes in your life to prevent the boils, including working towards better health.
By taking action you gain the courage to conquer your fears. Conquering your fears will help change the theme of your dreams.
Good Luck to you.

Hi,
I'm not a Dr., far from it, but i have heard that many people get boils from ingrown hairs. (even if the area is shaved)
You might want to have a Dr check just to make sure. It could be something just as simple as an ingrown hair. But even if they get infected, perhaps the Dr can give you something for it. If it's something more serious, it doesn't always mean cancer. Could be a staph infection. If it were something worse, they could catch it in the early stage.
Get checked....just because we care!!
Hope this helps in some way :)

The dream probably means that you've been worried about the boils. Dreams aren't premonitions or predictors of anything but they may reflect concerns you've had in the waking hours.
It might be that if you shave under your arms you are irritating the hair follicles and producing this reaction. You might consider switching to a cream dipilatory like Veet rather than scraping your under arms with a razor. http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C120793.html Boils are usually near or in hair follicles.
It could be that you are allergic to your deodorant or that the deodorant irritates your hair follicles after shaving. You might consider trying different kinds of deodorant to try to find one that doesn't bother you. Also be sure not to apply deodorant immediately after shaving your under arms.
Since the boils are giving you concerns, you should consult your physician for info about how to treat them when they occur and how to reduce their occurence.

Some people are just prone to them and it isn't an indicator of future cancerous development. My grandson has it and he has to be careful about certain things that slip my mind right now but ask a doctor about it. You don't need to worry, escept armpits have got to be at least as bad as in the crack of your a** or where your thigh meets your butt cheek. I'm sorry you have this problem.

Your dream tries to herald a way of healing for your reoccurring boils--it does not foretell cancer!--it suggests the need for healing of other areas in addition to your underarms, thus it refers to a total healing! Stomach represents digestion, and breast brings nourishment, thus your diet may need more attention, for example. Please meditate or day dream on the dream and the best action will became clear to you. The scary dream images worked well for hopefully they prompted you into an action! Please consult your doctor; a specialist may benefit you also. Good luck!

I wouldn't think so, you are probably in pain and it got Incorporated into your dream. Since Cancer is painful. That's what you associated it with. But to ease your mind you could talk with your Dr. about it.
Good luck and sweet dreams.

It is much more likely to represent a fear than a premonition.
Body anxiety is very basic and deeply-rooted. We mistakenly identify ourselves as nothing but our bodies. So when something is wrong with the body, even something small, we often experience very deep anxiety. At its core, this is likely to be a dream about death, and terror of death.
When we begin to identify more with Life itself, and less with this body and this person we appear to be, we experience less anxiety about death.
