Dreaming of Having Surgery for an Illness - dream meaning with inherited lore

You lie on an operating table waiting for the medical staff to prepare, or watch the operating-room doors close. You may feel afraid, along with the sense that there is nothing left to do but place yourself in their hands.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of surgery have sometimes been interpreted as cutting away an old problem or going through a major change. The meaning may be viewed differently depending on whether the surgery ended and whether you felt lighter afterward. (In folk dream interpretations, repairing the body has been read as a symbol of tending to old worries or obstacles.)

Through the mind: You may want to make a bold change in one area, such as a relationship, work, or daily habits. At the same time, even while sensing the need for change, you may feel tense about losing control along the way.
