Seeing a doctor in a dream
Dreams of seeing or visiting a doctor could be diversely interpreted. Yet, somehow all of them can be related to the most important aspect of our lives – HEALTH. In waking life, doctors are a symbol of authority and trust, someone we confide to when in need. If you are having a doctor’s dream, think about the things that are troubling you during waking hours, which are related to your physical health. Could it be that you are experiencing some painful symptoms in your waking hours, which are reflecting in your dream?
Dreaming of a doctor could also refer to the way you treat yourself in real life. More precisely, the inner wounds that need to be healed. Something is going on inside of you, some kind of agony you’ve been going through. This is the moment when you need to listen to your inner voice and begin to treat yourself better. You have probably been neglecting some aspects of your mental health, which caused major emotional distress. If you can’t be the one to self-heal, then don’t hesitate in asking for professional help. We are not meant to do everything on our own.
Also, if you take a closer look at a doctors’ role in our lives, you will see that they usually represent a person of trust, advisory, and almost parent-like. So pay close attention to the things that are left unsolved in your daily life, because the dream of a doctor could imply that you might need help in solving them.
If only you didn’t have to visit a doctor, not even in your dream
Paying a visit to a doctor is never an easy thing to do, but you gotta do what you gotta do. When dreaming of going to a doctor’s appointment, it usually implies you will be hearing some positive news that is relevant to your professional life. If in your dream you are discussing with the doctor on some matter, most likely you are going through health issues in waking life and you are going to need professional help. Some inner part of you has been awakened and alarming you of the necessity of healing certain aches. Doctor in your dreams might be the obvious yet hard-to-accept solution in your real life but will lead to resolving all of your problems.
Are you a doctor for real or is it just a dream?
So, you’ve put on a white coat, got yourself a stethoscope and you already take yourself for a doc? Hold on a second. It’s just a dream. But a nice one. Seeing yourself as a doctor in a dream means that people in your surroundings are treating or beginning to treat you as a person of trust and respect. Your friends and family, as well as coworkers, take you as a role model and a serious advisor, on relevant life matters.
It is nice to have that kind of impact on people you care about, especially when your bits of advice turn out to be a jackpot and of major relevance to people’s lives.
A doctor performing surgery in your dream
Besides many all-in-one doctors, people most often dream about surgeons. When it comes to real life, surgeons are a kind of last chance of getting something fixed. Whether it is plastic surgery or something even more serious. Anyway, the way we portray surgeons in real life is how they reflect in our dreams. Have you been experiencing some difficulties lately, and you can’t seem to find the solution? Well, dreaming of a surgical doctor means you will find a way to solve your problems, with or without someone’s help.
If by any chance you had a dream of a doctor performing surgery, more specifically on you, you may have been losing control over circumstances in your life. Especially when it comes to health. You might as well prepare yourself to make some radical changes to avoid life-threatening situations.
In addition to that, depending on what type of surgery the doctor performed on you, is how your dream could be interpreted. If it was head surgery, it may suggest that you should reflect on your thinking and decision-making process. Perhaps you will need a slight change of attitude or even character.
If your eyes were a subject of surgery, it is connected to your mental and spiritual inner-self. But, if it was heart surgery, the doctor in your dream is a sign you need to change your behavior and the way you approach certain situations or persons in your life.
If the doctor in your dream is in an ambulance, be careful. Especially, you need to take care when crossing the road or driving your car.
Having dreams of multiple doctors
Needless to say, that dreaming of one doctor could be pretty intimidating, but dreaming of multiple doctors might get you a dreamy heart attack. If the doctors in your dream were discussing the health of their patients, it may indicate that your family members or various friends could be experiencing some sort of illness at the same time. Possibly virally spread, due to epidemic or being exposed to contagious circumstances. In this case, you will feel the obligation to be the helper and in service to your friends and/or family, but also you will be afraid of getting sick likewise.
Being romantically involved with a doctor in your dream
What is it with the white coats that have been giving us chills? Not to mention butterflies. If you dreamt of falling or being in love with a doctor, it might indicate various interpretations. Maybe someone in your waking life is trying to mislead you. Or, you will probably meet someone new, willing to set into a romantic relationship with you. Although it may be seen as a good idea, try not having a rebound type of partner.
