Nurse
A trained carer for the sick — the practical worker through whose hands daily recovery is actually delivered.
A nurse in a dream is the dream's image of the practical worker through whose hands daily recovery is actually delivered. The doctor decides the treatment; the nurse carries the treatment out hour by hour. The dream brings the nurse when something in your life — a long recovery, a daily care of a sick relative, a slow institutional healing — is being held in place by the kind of attention that returns every few hours without being asked. A nurse competent and warm is the dream affirming the daily care. A nurse exhausted, with the rounds being missed, is the dream noting that the system is depending on a single person whose own reserves were not planned for, and the care will be the first thing to drop.
