If this first line was a dream, that could mean that Eden (the dreamer), was physically sick, or mentally troubled.

If Eden was sick, her body might have sent nervous impulses to her brain, reporting of whatever ailments that plagued her. These messages are meant to inform Eden that she needed to seek help to address these issues.

If Eden was not physically ill but had other problems, the stress may have triggered a dream which hinted to her emotional and mental stress.

Prompt from MLMM First Line Friday.

A writer shares his first hand experiences suffering from a mental illness. This is the story of Mr. James Kelly:

If you dream of your own illness, or was dreaming of somebody’s illness, it means your brain knows that there is an illness. In waking life, your brain has processed the input information and came to the conclusion that the symptoms suggest the occurrence of an illness. The probable case of an illness is the patient’s life style.
