Dreaming of cutting a doll - dream meaning with inherited lore
A wish to break away from a role or emotion you have held onto for a long time may appear in the scene.
You cut the doll’s clothes, hair, or part of its body with scissors or a knife. You may feel angry while cutting, or instead feel relieved and calm.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of cutting a doll has sometimes been interpreted as a flow of trying to sever a knot in a relationship or a burden in your heart. If the scene felt harsh, some also see it as a dream reflecting worry or conflict. (In folk dream interpretations, cutting or severing is read as a symbol of sorting things out and breaking away, while a doll is often viewed as an object onto which emotions are projected.)
Through the mind: You may be in a state of wanting to break free from roles you have taken on to accommodate someone, an old image of yourself, or recurring thoughts. Anger you have been holding back may also have shifted onto a symbolic object.
