Personal symbolism
Affliction in a dream can feel like a weight that makes even ordinary movement difficult. Notice whether the burden stopped your own energy or appeared in the lives of others. When it falls heavily on you and halts you, the passage connects that experience with disaster approaching. When others are afflicted, the image widens into an expectation of surrounding ills and misfortunes. The scale of the suffering and your response to it may help you see what feels most threatening or overwhelming in the scene.
