Black Scissors in dreams

Cutting — a clean separation, willingly made.

How black changes the reading

Black colour pulls the symbol toward the not-yet-known — depth, hiddenness, the part of the situation that has not yet come into the light. The dream is rarely warning you; it is showing you that there is more to the picture than the part you have been looking at.

The base reading of Scissors

Scissors in a dream are the dictionary's image of a clean separation made willingly. The dream often appears when you have been preparing to cut something out of your life — a habit, a relationship, an obligation — and the dream is rehearsing the moment of doing it.

Where you often see it. Scissors held in the hand. Scissors used to cut a thread. The dream uses scissors for cutting — a clean separation, willingly made.

What it is not. Scissors are not always aggression. The dictionary reads them as the chosen-separation tool.

Related in the dictionary. Read scissors with knife (the larger cousin), sword, and any scene of intentional separation.
