Cold Sores
To dream of a cold sore represents feelings about a visible or noticeable embarrassment, regret, or anxiety about something you�ve said or done romantically that is difficult to conceal. Embarrassment that other people are think you are a permanent failure or loser because you embarrassed yourself liking something romantic too much that ruined your life and believe it won't go away.
Public embarrassment, fear that other people are talking about you behind your back, or feelings about yourself being perceived by others as someone who repeatedly makes a fool of themselves. Feelings about recurring failures or embarrassments that other people witness. Discomfort with yourself over involving communication, intimacy, or social interactions. Fear of judgment or social rejection. A recurring emotional or social issue that keeps resurfacing and affecting your confidence.
Alternatively, cold sores may reflect feelings about repeatedly embarrassing yourself in front of others making bad relationship choices or not being safe to have a relationship with. Feelings about yourself looking like you are too stupid to find the right person to marry or that a relationship is impossible for others to succeed at with you.
Example: A woman dreamed of getting a sore. In waking life, she was having doubts about her wedding for her second marriage. In this case, the cold sore may have reflected her feelings about all her friends and family thinking that something is permanently wrong with her ability to safely have a relationship if she left her fiance at the last minute after already being divorced once.
