The room around you rotates and you’re suddenly feeling very nauseous and sick. Your body shakes and trembles, trying to cope with alarming disbalance within. You try to stand up thinking that it’s a temporary discomfort, but you realize there is no way you can do it. Suddenly, your rumbling intestines urge you to throw up. Just as you feel the reflux inevitably coming, you wake up.
Dreams about vomiting represent the subconscious need to reject and dispose of the negative and harmful thoughts and emotions out of your body – in exactly the same way the body gets rid of something toxic that has entered the digestive system. While vomiting can be caused by different stimuli, the symbolic meaning is the same: extrication of something that is perceived as extremely damaging to your well-being. These dreams always have something to do with the lack of nurturing and self-care.
Dreaming about vomiting means that you’re currently mentally, spiritually, or even physically being poisoned by your environment. You are releasing negativity, resistance, and undesirable energy and opening yourself up for creativity, freedom, and love. It is a message from your subconscious mind that you should thoroughly cleanse your spiritual and emotional body from ill influences.

Dreaming about throwing up/throwing up on yourself
If you dreamed about seeing yourself throwing up or even throwing up on yourself, the dream meaning may differ depending on the details.
If you dreamed about seeing yourself vomiting, it suggests great advancements and improvements in your professional life. You will be faced with many dilemmas and potential risks, but you will dare to step into the unknown of your future. An alternate interpretation would be that you’re currently overwhelmed by extremely toxic influences from your surroundings – someone or something is filling your mind and heart with negative and poisonous energy. Pay attention with whom you spend your time because it is dangerous to mindlessly trust everyone. Complete redistribution of your priorities is afoot. Turn inwards, because all your power lies within.
If you dreamed about vomiting on yourself, it means that you are regretting your past behaviors and actions. You are sorry for the things that are said and done on impulse, wishing that you could turn back time. In order to calm your mind, speak to them openly and admit all your mistakes. Show how much you love and appreciate them, regardless of the misunderstandings that happened between you two. Honest remorse without guilt or shame for your doings will open up many doors for the reestablishment of your connection. Don’t beat around the bush, but sincerely look for forgiveness, because the purity of that energy will light you both up and free you of redundant blaming cycles.
Seeing other people throw up/throwing up on other people/to be vomited on
If you dreamed about seeing other people vomiting, vomiting on others, or being vomited on, the dream meaning may differ depending on the details.
If you dreamed about seeing others vomit, it means that you will win over your opponents in the professional or private area of your life. Merciless competition is ongoing and you’re doing your best to break through the obstacles and earn the approval of the others. It may happen at work, where you will try to leave an impression of the most diligent and responsible worker, or you may compete with your partner, wanting them to admit your superiority in the relationship. While it is wonderful that you want to evolve and become a better version of yourself, don’t do it at the expense of others. Try to find the fulfillment within yourself, without anyone’s consent.
If you dreamed about throwing up on others, it means that you will have double standards when it comes to the people around you. Possibly you will ignore someone’s effort and dedication, making them feel guilty for overdoing things for you. You firmly believe that they are obliged to put all their energy into making you happy, while you would never do the same for them. Using others for your interest always comes back in some form of cosmic punishment. No one gets to avoid paying their dues. Try to stop that sadistic behavior and find satisfaction within yourself.
If you dreamed that you were being vomited on, it suggests that you are trying to help someone in vain. All the advice and help you give them will be overheard and not taken seriously, which will make you feel disappointed and rejected. Don’t take this personally, because everyone has their own unique path that they need to go by.
Dreaming about throwing up blood/throwing up yellowish (greenish) substance/stepping into the vomit
If you dreamed about throwing up blood, weird-looking substance, or even that you’re stepping into the vomit, the dream meaning may differ depending on the details.
If you dreamed about throwing up blood, it means that you should get some professional medical help and seriously check up on your health as soon as possible. Your subconscious mind is warning you about the current state of your body, so make sure you don’t turn a deaf ear to its signals.
If you dreamed about throwing up a substance greenish/yellowish in color, it means that you are persistently trying to solve some ongoing problems in your life, but without any success. The number of ever appearing obstacles is overwhelming, and the discomfort you feel around the subject is unbearable. It may be that you are tirelessly trying inefficient methods, or even there might exist someone who interferes with your plans on purpose.
Either way, you should retrieve from your daily life and try to regain your inner peace and trust in your abilities. You’ve diffused your energy on the outer world, leaving nothing inside. Be alone for a few days, take frequent walks in nature, and meditate to calm your nerves. Remember that everything in this universe has a solution and its purpose for appearing in your life.
If you dreamed about stepping into vomit, the way it looks determines its meaning. If it’s colorless, it means that you will be offered help from someone you least expect. Their help will come at the crucial moment, leaving you shocked and dumbfounded, and you will try to repay as much as you can.
However, if the color of your vomit is ugly, it means that someone from your surroundings wants to set you up. Pay attention to everyone in your environment and watch their behavior. You will be able to spot them right away. Keep them at a safe distance and make sure you communicate with them as little as you can.
Dreaming about your parents throwing up/a child vomiting

Show them how much you value their help and care, by giving them your time and complete presence.
If you dreamed about your parents throwing up on you, it means that you should be more careful in the future. Someone wants to hurt and manipulate you, without you being aware of it. They are waiting for a moment of your weakness to enter your life and completely destroy it when you’re at your lowest. Find out who it is, as soon as possible and gather your strength to face them.
If you dreamed about a child vomiting, it means that you are currently feeling nostalgic, regretting missed opportunities from your childhood.
