Dreaming of Your Parents

parents · mixed

Cheerful, healthy parents promise harmony and success; sad or mournful ones, disappointment.

What happens in the dream

  • They are alive and happy in your home: pleasant changes, sometimes marriage and prosperity
  • They look robust and content: your business and love life will thrive
  • Your parents look cheerful: harmony and pleasant company
  • They appear to you after their death: trouble ahead, so be careful in your dealings
  • They are pale, in black, unwell or sad: serious disappointments and missed chances

How you felt

  • Tenderness or nostalgia: the dream may reflect a need for support and approval
  • Worry: concern for their health, or about what you owe them

Ask yourself

  • What do I still want from my parents?
  • Which parts of them do I carry inside me?
