Although in order to provide a more accurate interpretation it would usually be best to have some additional general background information about you (and a description of events just before this very upsetting dream), it’s still possible to present a few ideas which might hopefully fit your personal situation in some way.
For example, the potential of an actual physical illness doesn’t usually appear in the dream-ego image but in other figures which can represent the organic body (e.g. an animal, or the personal mother who was the origin of the “physical body”).
Instead, dreams usually compensate the conscious psychological position of the waking-ego and therefore, the dream-ego can appear as being “sick” because of some attitude or habit etc. etc. which could tend to interfere with a sense of an élan vital over time.
And dreams about impending death are usually about the need for a basic change in the dreamer’s overall outlook and approach to life.
Without knowing anything about the state of your relationship with your husband, it’s difficult to accurately interpret the image of the disturbing bruises around your wrists but often, the image of a man in the dreams of a woman symbolize her inner so-called “masculine” side.
This part of her can be either be positive or negative depending on the circumstances, but in either case, this inner figure usually relates somewhat to her thinking, opinion generating and judgement side as well as to other “masculine” traits.
If generally negative, the woman’s thoughts and opinions about herself can form a kind of half-conscious and ongoing self-hurtful litany of negative put-downs.
Of course, this can seriously limit her growth as an individual.
So in your dream, it’s as if the bruised wrists had been “tightly bound” perhaps by such constricting and negative thoughts, limiting your ability to live a normal life in a way, just as if your actual wrists had been habitually bound in a similar manner.
Dreams use analogies and metaphors to express their meaning, so kidneys maintain the healthy composition of the blood by filtering out impurities which are then excreted as urine.
Psychologically, if this process is disrupted, it means that the overall “elimination” of toxic feelings is being slowed for some reason and could be stopped altogether over time, leading to “death” in a spiritual sense because anger, resentment, jealousies, and grudges etc., as well as such things as power, pride and fear etc. are building up in an unhealthy way.
The dream shows you sitting in a wheelchair with your long red hair as mostly gone while you’re wearing a faded pink smock, probably meaning that your usual flow of healthy emotions (symbolized by the colour red) could potentially be in danger of disappearing in an untimely way for some reason.
Your inability to draw life from the surrounding air (e.g. you have to use a breathing tube) points to possible problems developing as connected with all things of the spirit, hope and exhilaration.
A birthday party is actually about a yearly “rebirth” and your oldest child is saying that it’s only a matter of time before you die, maybe suggesting that you can and should seek a way to move out of perhaps some kind of restricting way of viewing life in general.
Anyway as mentioned, without knowing anything much about you, this way of looking at your distressing dream might not fit your personal circumstances very well, but I hope these ideas can be helpful in some way.
Please feel free to ask any questions or to make any comments about this particular way of looking at your dream.
