Surgery

Symbolic of stripping your life of unwanted things

Dreaming of surgery often coincides with periods of making tough changes to how you feel about yourself. You may know that you need to let go of something - although the process can be difficult for you. Having surgery on a particular area of the body will be how the psyche attempts to 'cut away' feelings or ideas that are not healthy. If you have an abnormal growth that is being cut away - the message is that a past issue has taken on a life of its own and needs to be released. Sometimes it relates to forgiveness. Explore the part of the body in Anatomy and Body Parts to see what it relates to. Also see Hospital under Houses and Buildings and Weapons and Utensils.

Surgery in a dream represents the real limb which is operated on in one’s dream. If a young man or a young woman see themselves having an operation where their chest is opened, or having an open heart surgery for example in a dream, it means that they are in love. As for elderly people, it means distress. Having a minor surgery on the thumb in a dream means signing a loan.
