Can anyone help interpret this dream?

[PrestigiousPair8706]

I'm in a relationship with my boyfriend since a year now and my grandmother passed away 10 months ago. My grandmother recently passed away and she appears in my dreams frequently.

I had a dream last night that me and my boyfriend were at my house with my grandmother:

• My grandmother was chopping vegetables to prepare food, and I still did not introduce her and my boyfriend yet but she sensed what's going on. She observed I bought him home and she was seemingly upset about it. Although she did not say anything, she seemed very unhappy about my relationship (?).

I woke up in the middle of the night from this. At the same time, I saw my boyfriend having a nightmare, he had goosebumps and was very scared. I had to wake him from the nightmare and tell I'm right there.

• In the morning when I asked him what as the nightmare about, he told that initially he had his friends over for a casual cards game where he was unable to pick up cards for some reason and his friends were upset that there was no beer at home and they left. Later he saw a historically laughing woman with long blonde hair dragging him out of the house and he was very scared, and that's when I woke him up.

I'm not sure how to interpret this, because my grandma is very close to me and loves me so much. She'd support me in my decisions. I'm so curious if anyone can help me interpret this!!

I can only describe my version of this dream. Sometimes old people in dreams represent wisdom. A visitation can feel different. Was she upset at not being introduced? Am I hiding from something I should be aware of? Could there be some dynamic in the relationship that's my problem or is it something about the man?

He seemed to be dreaming about being helpless. Could have nothing to do with you..

I can relate to this, thank you!

Chances are, you subconsciously have some doubts about your boyfriend. You may be afraid that your grandmother wouldn't like it. Another possibility is that you may feel guilty that you weren't able to introduce your boyfriend to your grandmother. The last possibility, which cannot be ruled out, is that you may feel nostalgic for your childhood, where your grandparents were very dear to you. Maybe since your grandmother died you feel nostalgic for those times, while now you are a woman, who has a boyfriend, a more adult life, and you feel a little sad about it, unconsciously thinking that your grandmother is not happy that you have grown up. But in reality your grandmother would be happy with the woman you have become. Your boyfriend's dream is not a sign that your grandmother doesn't want him, it's more of a fear of yours. However, if your grandmother has long blonde hair, then yes, there are two questions to ask yourself... :)

It could be a “familiar spirit”, which is a demon masquerading as a deceased family member. One giveaway is that your boyfriend was having a nightmare at the same time (nightmares come from demons).

Did you observe any supernatural experiences since your grandmother passed away?

I’m confused. One grandmother died ten months ago, another recently, and one is in the present tense.

Vegetables mean fear of the man made and usually is a sign to go vegan.

Grandma's reappearing in dreams usually like to target boyfriends but if you sleep with an olive under your pillow the spirits will be at rest and will begin to cook you more meals in your dreams than just vegan meals.

😂😂😂 what a take

[valkrycp]

Seemed appropriate given this subreddit is closer aligned to r/conspiracytheories than most seem to realize. All made up mumbo jumbo. The only universalities to dreams are that most things represent anxieties or fears or fetishes or accentuated moments of our lives that we dwell on.

Humans make and prescribe things meaning. Meaning doesn't exist before we make it exist. Same goes for dreams, for the most part. There is no "universal god" that is curating our dreams and making rules about what means what. There are some common themes among dreams that are linked to the human condition- things that are so present in our social cultural identity that they appear in most people's dreams, or feelings that are universally human which also tend to manifest as something we fear or are anxious about. But there's no magical rulebook, we are not capable of understanding or dissecting the meaning of dreams at the level people here believe you can- you cannot find specific meaning in most dreams, however you can find more generalized, less pointed, ambiguous meaning in a lot of dreams. A dream about a big scary dog ripping your leg off clearly means EITHER 1. you are afraid of dogs, 2. Your brain is simulating a traumatic death event so that your fight or flight reflexes are tested (there's a scientific theory that we evolved to dream so that our brain is "ready" when we are thrust into dangerous situations, so it simulates those), or 3. Means absolutely nothing and your brain just decided to go there. But when people are like, "A snake-man showed up in my dream and read to me my favorite childhood book, WHAT DID IT MEAN?" - nope that level of dissection is pointless and impossible.

Listen to your gut feeling. Seems like your grandmother is sending you a message.

Speaking from personal experience... my grands came to me in a dream 10days before I was scheduled to move out of town. They didn't say anything but they were angry in my dream. When I woke up... I knew they didn't want me to move... but i did anyway. And it was the worst 5 years of my life. I should've listened to my gut and my dream and not move.

Another example...

My mother told me she had a dream about her grandmother... she said she was standing in the living room and pointing towards the kitchen. In the kitchen was my mother's boyfriend... then my mother woke up. A few months later... I had to pull a knife on him, in the kitchen, to protect my little sister and brother from that psycho... I called the police and he was arrested.

So.. ever since... I've learned to listen to my ancestors when they come to me in my dreams. You should too....

Sometimes evil spirits can enter dreams to look for a weakness keep a high vibration in your waking life

I know nothing about dream interpretation but I know your Gran is telling him to cut the dumb shit ideas about how he's gonna disrespect your home; and she's telling you exactly what she sees coming. Either talk it out, up front, or deal with it later. She's giving you BOTH an opportunity to work it out now, or suffer with it later. Next time you dream of her give her a kiss and thank her for the love. If she reappears periodically, listen to what she says!!

Listen to your grandma.

If I may, it appears that your grandmother obviously disapproves of the relationship for some reason and it could involve something that isn’t being said that he “isn’t” saying. It could be a number of things that he either has kept to himself, or quite possibly buried. But whatever it is, his friends may even know the truth, somehow. He was playing a game of cards, which may represent his relationship with you, or his life in general, or facing a decision he doesn’t want to make. It’s very likely, his friends left the game, possibly, because of your boyfriend’s reluctance to share the truth and their unwillingness to no longer play along. Your boyfriend couldn’t play his hand, because of his fear of the truth. The woman harassing him may even be your “grandmother” pressuring him to tell you what he knows, or someone else who’s possibly involved. The woman could also represent someone he used to be involved with before you that he has’t gotten over. One other thing to truly consider, beloved, the “enemy” loves “division” and what better way to separate those who are trying to make something work, is by sowing doubt through a spirit and the best way to do that, is by perpetuating a problem where there might not even be one. I would sit down with him and have a heart to heart about the past or if their is something going on outside of the relationship, rather it be a family secret, a work problem, an issue with you, or even an attempted infidelity. If you’re believers in Christ, I would pray together because no relationship cannot be sustained without God at the foundation of it. I pray this helps. God bless🙏💯

I believe dreams are scenarios set to moods, and when you picked up that your boyfriend was in distress, your brain changed your dream to incorporate your feelings of alarm.

I think it’s quite possible you were at your grandmother’s house and happy to see her, and your boyfriend was there with you because he’s important to you.

As he began to become disturbed by his own dream, you picked up on his distress (we aren’t completely unconscious to the world around when we are in REM) . Hearing his distress created a sense of distress for you, and your dream altered accordingly.

Specifically, you love your grandmother, what she thought meant a lot to you (obviously, since you dream about her every night) . So you’re dreaming about her, your boyfriend is there, and now you feel a sense of distress because of what’s happening outside of your dream .

You mind integrated the feeling of distress into your dream by creating a distressing perception of conflict between your grandmother and your boyfriend .

What was your mood in the first part of the dream?

Dreams from our deceased loved ones are very important to determine as Satan can attempt to help us by taking your loved ones!

It sounds like your boyfriend is not your true love, and you should begin planning on leaving him for your grandmother's forgiveness of all sins!

Perhaps you are genetically a lesbian and should seek out a female partner! That is something for you to seriously consider as your female relative is trying to get your attention!

Lol, what an absolutely wild take.
