What Does Dreaming of Scissors Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
According to traditional interpretation and Ibn Sirin, seeing scissors in a dream is mostly considered auspicious; it can indicate the fulfillment of a wish, growing provision, increasing wealth, and a new member joining the family (a child, an heir). A person holding scissors may be interpreted as someone wise and fair who mediates the resolution of a dispute.
Psychological View
From a modern psychological perspective, scissors can symbolize the need to "cut away" a tie, a relationship, or a situation in your life that no longer serves you; they may point to the unconscious desire to set boundaries, make decisions, and leave the old behind for a new beginning. In a Jungian reading, the meeting of two sharp blades can also represent the process of reconciling conflicting inner forces and arriving at a clear choice.
