Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A tumor forms when cells divide faster than is considered normal. In this way, a tumor is a symbolic representation of the damage that can occur when things are allowed to get so chaotic as to be completely out of control. Over time, such chaos can lead to drastic consequences, and the damage may be done long before it is discovered.

A tumor in a dream represents something that has been going on under the surface for a while but that is now demanding attention to be healed.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Its interpretation is similar to that of ABSCESS. It indicates an interior or exterior burden that makes you heavy and resentful. It tends to be a distressing dream in that you see your body deformed or grossly exaggerated. It would benefit you to analyze your life to discover what is bothering you so much and to be able to solve it in the most appropriate manner.
