Dreaming about surgery—whether it's you or someone else in the operating room—often signifies a period of self-discovery or emotional mending. It could be a metaphorical nudge to remove something toxic from your life. Alternatively, the dream might indicate you're under the sway of someone in a position of power, pushing you to act in a specific manner. If you're due for an actual surgery soon, this dream might simply reflect pre-surgery anxiety or health-related concerns.
