An interpretation of surgery dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Having surgery performed on you in a dream can be a way of saying you want to change something about yourself or remove something from your personality or memory. It can be something you are ashamed of, that’s unwanted, or that’s troublesome for you. Brain surgery, in particular, is known as an analogy for removing something from your thoughts or thought processes. For example, a young man dreams that his female friend performs surgery on his brain. He’s calm and relaxed as some parts are removed and some disconnected. The dream symbolizes rewiring his brain to accept that his friend will not be his girlfriend or lover. He has strong feelings for her, and in order to save the friendship he has to disconnect from them or turn them off. He’s relaxed during the surgery because he knows subconsciously what the surgery symbolizes. Surgery can symbolize something tedious or very serious. It can reflect health fears. “Surgical” means precise, sometimes ruthless or cold. Be sure to read: Amputate. See also: Amputations, Dissecting, Doctors, Hospitals, Knives
