Anaesthetic dream meaning is explained below using 4 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball
1- To be anaesthetised in a dream highlights the fact that we are trying to avoid painful emotions, and feeling overpowered by- external circumstances. It also indicates that we are trying, or being forced, to avoid something.
2- We arc numbing - or avoiding something we don’t want to face. We may be creating a situation which requires external management. We perhaps need to be quiescent and let events unfold around us.
3- As with amnesia, an anaesthetic can be a possible indication of death, but usually of part of ourselves.
