Surgery
Operation, Having an operation, Surgeon
Having surgery means placing yourself completely in someone else's hands while something is repaired or removed. In a dream that often relates to a change that goes deep: ending a habit, cutting out a commitment or letting someone help you in a way that takes real faith in them. Being put under reflects a wish to hand over control for a while. Watching your own operation from above may come when you're observing a big change in your life from a little distance. If you were the surgeon, you may be facing a task that calls for precision and a steady hand. Big changes take some getting used to, and the dream lets you rehearse the idea in a safe place.
