To dream of being afflicted with the dropsy, denotes illness for a time, but from which you will recover with renewed vigor. To see others thus afflicted, denotes that you will hear from the absent shortly, and have tidings of their good health.
Islam
Dreaming of dropsy, which is the abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in the body, is interpreted as a symbol of humiliation and disdain from others. It signifies a state of subservience and being looked down upon by those around you. The dream suggests a feeling of degradation or being subjected to disrespect and low esteem in the eyes of others.
