Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

also see Syringe

1- To dream of being given an injection is to be feeling that one’s personal space has been penetrated. Other people’s opinions, needs or desires may be forced on the dreamer leaving him little option but to co-operate.

To dream of giving an injection suggests that we are attempting to force ourselves on other people. Obviously; this may have sexual connotations.

2- An injection may be an attempt to heal, or to make one better. We may feel that we need external help in order to function more successfully. It will depend on our attitude to conventional medicine whether this is seen as co-opera- tion or resistance.

3- Spiritually, to find ourselves accepting an injection indicates that we arc prepared to create circumstances within ourselves which will help us to progress. More negatively; an injection can indicate short term pleasure rather than long term gain.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
This is an indicator of the relationship that you have with people around you. Generally, it represents the positive or negative influence that someone has over you.

If the dream generates a feeling of anxiety, it reveals fear of this external influence or the excess value you place on the opinions of others. However, the dream can be telling you to inject more entertainment and determination into your life. The syringe is also considered a phallic symbol. What you need may be more enthusiasm on the sexual plane. Finally, injections symbolize healing and protection. In this case, you should think about the current state of your spiritual side.

An oneiric interpretation from the thirties considered that dreaming of receiving an injection meant that you would be free of those enemies that plot against you.

The Curious Dreamer’s Dream Dictionary

by Nancy Wagaman
The idea of someone introducing something into your personal space or consciousness (such as animosity, criticism, or their own belief).

Direct or quick action (such as to correct a problem).

A particular health care experience, or receiving assistance in general.

Receiving a beneficial injection (with your permission) could represent strengthening or improving yourself, or protecting yourself from a future threat.

An injection against your will could be an indicator of a Toxic Dream, or it could represent a feeling or fear of someone forcing their opinions or expectations onto you, or “injecting” themselves into your life or consciousness somehow.

Consider the context and purpose of the injection, and your feelings about it.
