“Why do you dream about cold? If you see Cold in a dream, what does it mean?

Cold of loneliness

Denise Lynn's dream book offers a symbolic explanation of why you dream of freezing. Inaccessibility has become such a familiar state that the dreamer himself has begun to forget what emotions look like. It's time to stop this freezing and give free rein to your feelings.

An ancient interpretation of a dream says that if you dreamed of freezing, despite the fact that the bedroom is warm enough, an evil spirit came to you in a dream. The nature of such dreams is neutral; the worst thing that threatens the sleeper is an unpleasant aftertaste after waking up.

Those who experience a burning resentment in reality experience freezing in a dream. In Veles's predictions, the plot means the inability to influence the course of events. Some circumstances are as inevitable as the onset of winter.

“It’s hot, it’s cold,” but there is no temperature - what is this?

Many people equate chills with fever, but this is not always the case. Also, the sensation of heat can only be subjective, at normal body temperature. This is explained by the mechanism of development of the condition:

• Initially, chills are a protective reaction of the body, which is triggered by the hypothalamus. This is the thermoregulation center in the brain. If he decides that our body is threatened by cold, he will launch a whole cascade of reactions, including muscle tremors. The energy generated from it goes into heat, to warm the body.
• Spasm of peripheral vessels (in the skin, subcutaneous tissue) is a key link in the process. At the same time, the skin turns pale, has less blood supply, becomes colder and becomes “goosey”. This is a signal to the hypothalamus to trigger “shivering thermogenesis.”
• Spasm of peripheral vessels can be triggered by various factors. These are cold, toxins (intoxication during illness or poisoning), stress hormones, imbalance in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, etc. For the thermoregulation center, provoking factors are not particularly important; it reacts in one way.

• Psychogenic factors can directly unbalance the hypothalamus. If they succeed, they can expect chills and sweating. The reaction also involves the sympathetic nervous system and stress hormones (primarily adrenaline).
• Heat without temperature has the same nature. There is an increase in heat transfer through the expansion of peripheral vessels and increased metabolism in tissues. “I’m burning all over, I don’t understand why,” as one song says. And here there are also many provoking factors: from autonomic dysfunction to hormonal surges during menopause. It's time to figure out the reasons!

You can't argue with physiology

In dream books there are many explanations as to why you dreamed of freezing in the snow. Often the symbol means that you have to take care of your health. Seeing yourself in snowdrifts happens shortly before your temperature rises due to a cold or flu.

If you happen to see yourself wandering across the endless snow-covered steppe, the dream interpreter warns about the likelihood of hypothermia in reality. The folk oracle advises keeping your feet warm.

If you dreamed of freezing in the ice, the symbol indicates depression and painful forebodings associated with the ailments of loved ones.

Details: body parts

The interpretation of a dream in which I happened to be very cold is associated by the General Dream Book with frostbitten parts of the body:

• to see that your nose is frozen - warns of illness, runny nose;
• ears - heralds a decline in mental or physical strength;
• freezing to death - to adultery, coldness in relationships;
• your feet are freezing - to the cancellation of a profitable trip that you were counting on;
• hands - promises the signing of a lucrative contract, successful negotiations.

What's on the cupid front?

The Dream Book of Lovers, interpreting why one dreams of freezing, predicts a tense relationship between the sleeping person and the other half. For girls, a dreamed image may indicate a lack of reciprocity in a lover.

For people who happen to freeze in their sleep, the modern combined dream book heralds the end of a romantic relationship. Seeing that you have frozen something off means the possibility of being drawn in by your loved one into a dubious matter, which in the future could greatly damage your reputation.

Did you dream that you were frozen in the snow? This means, according to the Erotic Dream Interpreter, you will soon be warmed by ardent love.

Severe chills without fever: the most common causes

Do you feel sick

Chills during a respiratory infection are a common and not the only phenomenon. Toxins of viruses and bacteria enter the blood, which is accompanied by intoxication. This will be the cause of the chills. With an infection of any location (intestinal, urinary, reproductive system), this condition can develop. The temperature rises or remains normal. Look for other symptoms (cough, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal or lower back pain). Often conditions requiring surgical care (acute appendicitis, renal colic) begin with pain and chills-like trembling.

Changes in blood pressure

They often accompany hypertensive patients (a person may not yet know about this problem in himself). Unreasonable trembling in the body, accompanied by headache, spots in the eyes, a feeling of heat, sometimes nausea and vomiting, is characteristic of a hypertensive crisis. This is a dangerous condition due to a sharp increase in blood pressure (complications may develop: heart attacks, strokes, cardiac asthma). When the pressure decreases, your hands and feet become cold, dizziness, weakness, and a throbbing headache appear.

Attention! Sudden changes in blood pressure are dangerous and require emergency medical attention (as is the case with a hypertensive crisis).

Endocrine disorders

It is worth checking the functioning of the thyroid gland (T3, T4) and blood sugar levels. In the first case, excess production of hormones is called hyperthyroidism. Trembling in the body, especially in the hands, sweating, constant heartbeat, weight loss, emotional disorders - this is not a complete list of symptoms. These sufferers cannot tolerate heat because they themselves are like “walking stoves.” Metabolism is increased significantly, all calories coming from food are burned immediately. Reduced hormone production has the opposite effect: patients freeze even at a comfortable temperature, become lethargic, gain weight with poor appetite, and swell.

Those who suffer from diabetes know the need to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Sometimes it can be very difficult, and “sugars jump” up and down. Severe chills without fever occur with hypoglycemia - a sharp decrease in blood glucose. Muscle tremors are accompanied by excitement, anxiety and a feeling of hunger. If you don't give sweets in time, chills can turn into hypoglycemic convulsions, and then into a coma.

Allergy

A severe allergic reaction may be accompanied by chills, along with symptoms such as an itchy rash, swelling, watery eyes, and difficulty breathing due to bronchospasm. Various substances (household, food, medicinal, etc.) act as allergens. This condition requires emergency care due to the risk of developing anaphylactic shock.

Couldn't cope with stress

Acute or chronic stress can cause a psychosomatic reaction in the form of chills. An “internal tremor” without visible trembling is possible. Its mechanism is associated with the formation of stress hormones and the predominant activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Trembling can appear for no reason at night as a consequence of psycho-emotional overload during the day.

You're frozen

If it is very cold outside or indoors, the thermoregulation center will reflexively work and send a warming shiver through the body. She won't appear right away. First, the feeling of cold forces a person to change behavior (the desire to warm up), the skin turns pale and gets goosebumps. In the absence of any action, a slight tremor appears. You just need to warm up and everything will pass.

Dream Interpretation – Legs

Seeing your legs beautiful and slender in a dream means that good luck in business, a pleasant and successful road awaits you.

Looking at both legs in a dream means that you will think about your relationship with some person.

Wounds, ulcers or broken legs in a dream foreshadow misfortunes, obstacles in business and failure of plans.

Getting your feet dirty in a dream is a sign of a careless mistake that will end in shame for you, which will not be easy for you to survive.

Seeing the calves of your legs in a dream is a sign of obstacles in business. A dream in which you saw that the calves of your legs are hard predicts that you will stand firmly on your feet.

If you dream that you are scraping someone’s legs until they bleed, then bad news awaits you about the troubles of loved ones who need your support and consolation.

If you dream that your legs are on fire, then you should postpone your planned trip, even if it is very important to you. Sometimes such a dream predicts failure in business.

A dream in which you saw yourself putting your feet into a fire foretells you that only by intervening in some kind of squabble can you put an end to it.

Making any deft movements with your legs in a dream is a sign that your business will be successful thanks to your quick wits, ingenuity and ability to make the right contacts.

If you dream that you have become disabled and lost your legs, then expect great failures, hardships, and misfortunes. The same thing means a dream in which your legs do not obey you.

What to do if you have chills

You can always provide first aid, whether it will be before the ambulance arrives (seeing a doctor), or will be able to completely solve the problem.

• In case of hypothermia, the shivering goes away after warming up. A warm room, a bath, a blanket or blanket, hot tea will quickly solve the problem.
• If you feel cold due to stress, a panic attack, or excitement, you need to take a sedative and give time to rest.

• If you suspect a drop in blood sugar (patients with diabetes usually know this condition), you should give something sweet as soon as possible. Refined sugar, candy, sweet tea - whatever is at hand. A diabetic should not be afraid of a subsequent increase in glucose levels. Hypoglycemia is much worse than hyperglycemia.
• If you are shivering due to high blood pressure (hypertensive crisis), you can give a quick-acting antihypertensive tablet under the tongue before the ambulance arrives. Hypertensive patients usually have them. Capoten 25 mg, nifedipine 10 mg, physiotens 0.2 mg are suitable. Check for possible allergies to pills! Measure blood pressure 5 minutes after resorption.

• If you feel cold due to decreased blood pressure, you can drink strong, sweet tea or coffee. If blood pressure drops to the point of dizziness or fainting, place the sufferer with his legs elevated and call an ambulance.
• Allergic chills are an alarming condition. All that can be done before the specialist arrives is to eliminate contact with the allergen and take an antihistamine (suprastin, loratadine, etc.).
• If you experience chills during menstruation with a feeling of a specific painful feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, you can take an antispasmodic (less preferably a painkiller). If this condition occurs for the first time, you should consult a gynecologist.

Causes of chills without fever in women

Due to the peculiarities of the reproductive system. Sex hormones influence the thermoregulation center. Conditions in which chills-like reactions are possible include:

• Premenstrual syndrome

Before your period you may feel cold. This is a physiological phenomenon associated with increased progesterone production. The day before menstruation, chills, weakness, headaches, and emotional disorders may appear. These symptoms usually get worse with age.

• Algomenorrhea

It is characterized by pain in the first couple of days from the start of menstruation. At its peak, chills are possible. Painful periods can provoke congenital anomalies of the structure of the uterus, gynecological diseases, and a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. Stress and fears aggravate the condition during this period.

• Ovulation

Night chills in women may be associated with the release of an egg from the follicle. By the time of ovulation, basal temperature (measured in the rectum) can reach 37.4 degrees, and immediately after it drops sharply.

• Pregnancy

During almost the entire first trimester (up to the 10th week), a pregnant woman may shiver due to the same progesterone. This is especially noticeable at night. Toxicosis aggravates the condition.

Attention! Physiological chills during pregnancy can only occur in the first trimester and is not accompanied by severe symptoms (abdominal pain, fever, vaginal discharge). Starting from the second trimester, during a normal course, it should not be there.

Frozen pregnancy, infections, gestosis, gestational diabetes - this is still an incomplete list of possible causes of pathological chills, mainly in the later stages. After a cesarean section, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the suture. There is a risk of infectious complications (pain, redness, chills).

• Formation of lactation

The condition when “milk has come” is familiar to many nursing mothers. The chest is bursting with swollen dense mammary glands. This is often accompanied by chills and fever. Lactostasis is eliminated by expressing. If it is not possible to empty the gland, and chills, fever and pain persist, you need to consult a doctor to rule out mastitis.

• Climax

From this period, reproductive function begins to fade, and the amount of estrogen progressively decreases. Trembling and hot flashes become frequent companions of women. Any emotion can provoke an inadequate reaction: sometimes it freezes without fever, sometimes it throws you into a fever.

Why “I always freeze at night”

Feeling chilly, feeling cold even in warm weather may also be a reason to consult a doctor. No fever or shivering, but still very cold. In what cases should you suspect something is wrong and undergo an examination:

• The symptom of chilliness may be a manifestation of anemia (anemia). It is worth taking a general blood test to determine the level of hemoglobin and red blood cells.
• Hypothyroidism, which was already mentioned earlier. People suffering from this pathology are weak, drowsy and constantly cold. It is worth undergoing an ultrasound of the thyroid gland and taking a blood test for its hormones (T3, T4, TSH).

• With low blood pressure (hypotension) or hypotonic VSD.
• If the hands and feet of the elderly are cold, this is a possible sign of atherosclerosis. It is worth conducting an ultrasound of the vessels of the extremities. Men who have been smoking for many years may develop atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels (intermittent claudication, cold feet) with age.
• Hypovitaminosis A, E often develops in people who are underweight and do not have enough subcutaneous fat tissue.

Attention! If you experience an obsessive feeling of chilliness or cold that was not there before, you should consult a doctor. Call an ambulance if, against the background of chills, vomiting, rash, abdominal pain appear, blood pressure drops, or swelling in the face or neck develops (allergic reaction - Quincke's edema).

Prevention

It comes down to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, physical exercise, proper nutrition, and taking multivitamin complexes. Don't forget about hardening. Daily hardening procedures strengthen the immune system, make the body more resilient and more resistant to stress factors. Giving up bad habits and regular preventive examinations with a doctor will help prevent the development of diseases. Avoid severe destructive stress.

Chills are a symptom that does not occur without a reason. You shouldn’t underestimate its importance and limit yourself only to warm clothes. In all unclear cases, visit a doctor. Be healthy!
