ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of doctors in dreams?

Doctors often hold very privileged information. We sometimes tell doctors very personal and embarrassing information. We have to be honest with a doctor in order that he can help improve and cure our ills. Often doctors link with this deep probing questioning.

A doctor may suggest that you are trying to assess if something is healthy or in a healthy state. E.g.

"My husband seems to want to try again. He told me he loves me. But is it HEALTHY to try again. Its a deeply dysfunctional relationship"[Dream symbol - Doctor][Dream symbol - this quote refers to a dream which is featured at the end of this article complete with an interpretation]

The doctor may link to something that happened the day before that involved doctors in some way. In such cases the meaning is not symbolic. E.g.

"My niece hurt her arm. I ended up driving her to the doctors"[Dream symbol - doctors]

"Yesterday I got my doctors appointments mixed up"[Dream symbol - doctors appointment ]

In other cases the doctor will relate to some real illness that you are monitoring. E.g.

"My family all seem to come to me for help with their ills - I look up what's wrong on the Internet but I am not sure what good it really does"[Dream symbol - doctor]

"I was feeling pain yesterday and have been having concerns about my pregnancy. I wonder if their is anything wrong deep down."[Dream symbol - Doctors perform surgery]

"I need to get better from my illness as I have a job interview soon."[Dream symbol - Doctor]

In many cases the dream refers to some emotional issue. It maybe just a feeling that you are getting a bit down. E.g.

"I know that I am stressed out and I have got to get myself out of this rut"[Dream symbol - doctor]

"Well I am in a bit of a rut. I think part of the cure would to carry on as usual but also I need to inject some new fresh tasks to make my life more interesting "[Dream symbol - English doctors and foreign doctors ]

"I suddenly started feeling a lack of self worth. But I had a long honest chat with my girlfriend. I asked myself some searching questions."[Dream symbol - Girlfriend is doctor]

"Both me and my sister have split from our husbands and are building new lives but to be honest she is doing better right now."[Dream symbol - Dreamer and sisters have health check up for their pregnancy]

"I am worried about my sister right now as she is suffering a lot of stress"[Dream symbol - Sister is in a psychiatric hospital]

In connection with such emotional issues the doctor may symbolise the way you are asking yourself deeply probing questions. Or it may link to your feelings about such deep conversations. E.g.

"I am moving to a new state. But I have never really searched deep down and asked if this move is the best. I have got to ask myself some honest questions."[Dream symbol - Doctors office]

"I let something slip about my ex the other day and it ended up with a long deep conversation with my new boyfriend. Its something I am not good at" [Dream symbol - furious with doctor ]

"I know that I am a little sexually repressed. But my husband doesn't excite me. Its not me its him." [Dream symbol - Doctors office]

In some cases the dream may pick up on the extremely personal and probing nature of some questioning. E.g.

"I had an interview with for a job at home on the phone. Being unemployed has caused problems. I am not adapting to France though. But I had to submit to all these probing questions. It was a little awkward and demeaning. "[Dream symbol - Doctor perform surgery]

Sometimes the dream will be about you showing concern for the well being of others generally. You are trying to cure the ills that trouble their lives.

"My dad is in a bit of a rut and if he just got some job then it would help cure some of his emotional ills"[Dream symbol - female doctor]
------------------------------
DREAM TIP : Try to understand the way symbols work. Take for instance doctors. When you talk to a doctor you have to be really honest and open. You have to talk about quite embarassing issues. Dream use doctors as symbols. A doctor may refer to a similar situation where you have to share deeply embarassing secrets..

SAMPLE DREAM
---------------------------
THE DREAM I dreamt that my husband introduced me to his girlfriend. He doesn't have a girlfriend. Anyway her name was celestine. And she had a scarf wrapped and wrapped around her neck. We were talking about something and then my husband said something about the time and the woman pulled the scarf away from her neck. She had a really skinny neck. I mean really skinny. Like I don't know how it was holding up her head skinny. And there was a big tumor or cyst on the left side of it. My husband took some tweezers and pulled something out of the tumor. It looked kind of like a worm or some tendons. I don't know. It was gross. She winced like she was in pain and I started yelling at him to stop it. He told me he knew what he was doing and to mind my own business. I asked him when he got his medical degree and that this poor woman needed a doctor. I put my arm around celestine's waist and told her I would take care of her. And my husband got mad. I gave him a dirty look and we walked away. Then I woke up.

THE REALITY
The dreamer and her husband had had lots of trouble and have split up a few times. Recently she thought she would split up again. The night before the dream her husband asked her if she wanted to go out of Friday night. He also said that he loved her. She was shocked. The whole relationship is dysfunctional and I do not know if things can be worked out.

THE INTERPRETATION
Dreams do tend to focus in on the night before. In this case something important did have happen to the dreamer as her husband made a real effort to show he cared and asked her out on the Friday night. This made the dreamer think so its a good chance that the dream is about this. After all it features her husband. Its just a matter of seeing how the symbolism works.

The girlfriend in the dream could actually represent the dreamer herself. After all the night before she was treated just in the same way that a guy treats a girlfriend as he told her he loved her and asked her out on a date.

The dream features cancer. Thats a relevant symbol here. Cancer symbolises a fundamental flaw in some part of your life. In the dreamers case she had been thinking that her marriage was fundamentally flawed. There was something deeply wrong with it.

The dream also features this doctor. The doctor could be symbolic of her assessments about the 'health' of her marriage. She had been thinking that it was a deeply unhealthy relationship.

Overall the dream could easily capture these thoughts - "My husband asked me out on Friday night and told me he loved me. But I am not sure if its worth really trying again. Its a deeply dysfunctional relationship. Is it really healthy to keep trying."

Symbolic Meanings
CANCER : "there is a fundamental problem with her marriage"
DOCTOR : "I think my marriage is very beyond repair. Its really not in a healthy state"
GIRLFRIEND : "her husband asked me out on a date on Friday and said he loves me - its like he is treating me like a girlfriend"
