Psychology
A stomachache may reflect events you cannot digest or complaints you have swallowed. The gut responds strongly to stress, and real digestive trouble can surface in dreams, especially before important days.
Folklore and history
Japanese places true feelings in the belly: anger "rises" there, honest talk "splits it open", and an angry mood is "the belly worm" refusing to settle. Dream lore reads stomach pain as a warning about stored feelings.

This site's view
In this site's view, recall what you ate. Food served by someone suggests their words or demands were forced down; your own choice hints at regret. Pain without eating points to a grievance you have not yet noticed.
Going deeper: our reading
The gut holds so many nerves that it is sometimes called the second brain. Many people remember a stomachache arriving on exactly the mornings they did not want to go to school. In this site's reading, this dream appears when your body is saying I do not want to go, or I do not want to do this, before your words can. If the dream took place at work or school, you are pushing too hard there. A trip or unfamiliar town hides fear of the unknown behind excitement. Searching in vain for a toilet suggests you have nowhere to let your feelings out. If someone rubbed your stomach, you can tell that person the truth. This is our speculation, but waking as the pain fades means an answer is already forming.
What to do on waking
Eat gently today and write down one swallowed word. See a doctor if pain continues.
