Doctor Dreams: Why They Appeared

The images that are presented in our dreams can be translated metaphorically and applied to what is unknown to us. We must approach the symbol of the ‘doctor’ similar how we see wise figures in some of our favorite movies.

Just like Yoda is depicted in Star Wars, Mr. Myagi in The Karate Kid, or even Galadriel in Lord of the Rings; they appear during the right time during ones life to offer guidance when we are lost.

The doctor like the sage figures offer to teach, aide, and offer advice to the hero (dreamer), though in our dreams he or she will speak in a language that might be unfamiliar to you. Often times this brings your attention towards your inner world, parts of your emotions, behaviors or traits that need to be redirected. At the same time letting the dreamer choose their own path towards destiny.

Doctor Dreams: Bad News, Scared or Resisting?

We are going to jump right in the deep end and bring attention to the dark parts of your personality. Any sort of negative resistance or hearing bad news from the doctor can be attributed to the ‘shadow side‘ of the dreamer. The shadow can be defined as our unconscious behaviors, painful past experiences, instinctual urges, unwanted or the repressed feelings hide under that mask.

The shadow is often behind most of our nightmares and recurring dreams that never seems to go away. The doctor wants to help you despite how the medicine tastes, you must face your fears or inadequacy. These dream all have to do with your mind and never the body. Like most heroes on their journey they must see the sage before fighting the enemy, and in your case your own darkness.

  • Anger or rage,
  • Painful past memories,
  • Trying to heal the inner child,
  • Unconscious fears that hold you back;
  • Negative behaviors, thoughts or urges.
