Doctor
Physician, Seeing a doctor, Doctor's office
A doctor is someone you go to with questions you can't answer on your own, and in dreams that's often the point. Meeting one can come when you're looking for expert advice, reassurance or a clear explanation of what's going on in your life. A friendly doctor who listens is a good sign that you feel heard. Being examined may stir up the sense of being assessed, at work or in a relationship. If you were the doctor, people may be turning to you for answers. Dreams like this are about care and guidance, and they say nothing about the state of your body.
Dream variations
- Waiting to see a doctorYou're hoping someone will give you a clear answer soon. Until it comes, let the question rest in the background.
- A doctor who won't listenYou feel your worries are being brushed aside, perhaps at work or at home. What you feel counts, even when someone is too rushed to hear it.
- Becoming a doctorYour caring, problem-solving side is growing stronger. Use it, and remember to follow your own advice as well.
- A doctor you knew as a childYou miss having someone older take charge and make things all right. Think of who plays that part in your life now, and tell them they do.
