Psychology
Leaving hospital marks recovery and a return from a protected space to daily life. Being discharged before you are well, however, may show fear of being pushed ahead before you are ready.
Folklore and history
Hospitals in dreams are places of rest and renewal, so leaving one signals problems solved and fortune restored. In Japan, recovery is shared: those who received get-well visits send small thank-you gifts once they are well.

This site's view
In this site's view, notice who waited at the exit. Someone there means others wish for your recovery. Walking out alone means you are healing by your own strength. If someone still lay in the ward behind you, it may be time to say goodbye to a past self.
Going deeper: our reading
People leaving hospital after a long stay are often struck first by the smell of the air, the brightness of the light and a season that has changed since they went in. The trees seen through the window may have turned colour, and the clothes they arrived in may no longer suit the weather. In this site's reading, notice the season and weather the moment you stepped out. Warm sunshine suggests you are ready to begin anew with a recovered body and mind. Rain or winter cold means relief mixed with small worries about returning to everyday life. Carrying many bags suggests you are bringing home insights and support gained while recovering. This is our speculation, but even without real illness, people finally emerging from long busyness or relationship troubles sometimes have this dream. Leaving a protected place shows resolve to walk on your own feet.
What to do on waking
Recall one thing you recently came through and give yourself a small treat. A short thank-you to someone who helped makes a good closing.
