娱乐性解释：
A sickly condition of the dreamer is sometimes implied by this dream. To dream that you are shaking with an ague, signifies that you will suffer from some physical disorder, and that fluctuating opinions of your own affairs may bring you to the borders of prostration. To see others thus affected, denotes that you will offend people by your supreme indifference to the influences of others.
