Dream symbol · S
Surgery
The need for a drastic change or removing something harmful from your life.
Dream interpretation
A dream about surgery symbolizes psychological cleansing. Often, it means you must "cut away" old habits, toxic relationships, or past pains to move forward. If you are on the operating table, you are going through a period of vulnerability and transformation under the influence of external forces. If you are the surgeon, you are taking control of the situation. This dream is a sign that the healing of the soul has begun, even if the process feels scary.
