For older people the doctor may also represent the professional classes.

2- It will depend what sort of doctor appears in our dream as to the correct interpretation.

A surgeon would suggest the need to cut something out of our lives.

A physician would indicate that careful consideration should be given to our general state, whereas a psychiatrist signifies the need to look at our mental state.

3- The personality of a doctor in dreams suggests the appearance of the healer within. [1]

To dream that a doctor makes an incision in your flesh, trying to discover blood, but failing in his efforts, denotes that you will be tormented and injured by some evil person, who may try to make you pay out money for his debts.

If he finds blood, you will be the loser in some transaction. [2]

Dreaming about a doctor may represent a need for physical, emotional, or spiritual healing. Doctors are respected authority figures and we usually follow their advice and guidance in regard to our well being. Depending on your belief system, the doctor in your dream could also represent your higher self or inner guidance.

If you are currently experiencing a health problem and doctors are a part of your daily/weekly life, this dream may be symbolic of real life difficulties. However, the dream is most likely based on a past event, a memory, or refers to a current need for healing, rather than a prediction of the future. [3]

A doctor, therapist, or other healing professional can represent healing, fixing, or a type of assistance.

Visiting a doctor for help for a health problem can represent a desire for help or answers regarding a problem in your life (physical or otherwise).

A doctor harming, controlling, or giving you questionable advice can be an indication of a Toxic Dream.

See also: Physician. Helper, healer, wise man, adviser, and leader. Symbol of the healing power residing in yourself, which you can trust. On the other hand, “Doctor” as a title points to the appearance that we would like to present to the outside world.

If that is the case, this is a message to seek your true self.

Folklore: In general, always speaks of a good omen. [7]

Consulting with a doctor in a dream may remedy concerns about your health. It may announce that you may neec someone to assist you in diagnosing a health problem.
