To see an Indian person in your dream can suggest that you need to wake up to the world around you. It would help if you learned more, become more honest, and learn how to control your emotions.
To see American Indians, see Native American* instead for proper dream symbolism.
Indigestion
If you have indigestion in your dream, then this can suggest that you are surrounding yourself with things that are no good for you in your waking life. You are living an unhealthy lifestyle.

If you are in an industry in your dream, then this can suggest that you are active in trying to accomplish your goal. Now is a good time to make plans and act on them. If you act now, you are likely to be successful. This dream sign suggests luck in business above all else. This is a good sign.

If you are cheating on your partner or if your partner is cheating on you, then this can suggest that you need to be more careful in the way that you act towards people to who you are attracted.
