Dreaming of grandparents has meaning of heritage, ancient or outdated characteristics or behaviors. Your personal grandfather, or any elder person may symbolize the Wise Old Man archetype, your inner spirit. Interpretation of grandparents in dream points to the message that provides needed insight or wisdom. A grandmother or elder female may represent the Great Mother archetype, the aspect of your female personality. Grandparents often gave us a kind of unrestricted love we usually didn’t get from parents so the appearance of a grandparent may suggest that this is a present need. Or if you receive it in the dream, it may be a reassurance that you are okay.

I have this dream every year right before Christmas. My uncle passed away last year. In my dream there are about 15 guys on motorcycles chasing me and they chase me from Bedford, IN to my hometown. Someone that I’m riding with drops me off at the post office. I run about two blocks to my grandparents’ house where they are still chasing me. I run in and call the police. One man finds his way inside the house. My grandmother screams and he shoots her and my grandfather in the head. Then the men hear the police coming and they all run. I don’t understand why I’m having this dream.

I had a dream last night of my deceased grand father who passed away in 1994 of bone cancer.. I had a dream he was sitting at my table by my bay window which is where I always sit at dinner. He was moving in with me so I could take care of him and we had a conversation like he was here today. He looked the same as he did b4 he got ill.

I had a dream of my passed-away grandmother. In the dream she was at my house for a visit. She walked in with my aunt who still lives and gave me the biggest hug. She had an orange cat with her, just like I used to have and she was talking to my wife, but I couldn’t hear what it was about. Then she got up and went to the restroom. I was in my room with 2 black and white cats and then I woke up.

My grandmother passed away 1 yr ago due to pancreatic cancer. She lived less then 3 wks after becoming very ill and being diagnosed. We were very close and had a strong bond. My grandmother had 3 living children. My mother, aunt, and uncle. My father was killed by a hit and run driver. His murder has never been solved. I was 4 yrs old and no longer remember him. With my mother unable to cope with his death my grandparents took over care and legally adopted me.
Prior to my grandmothers death I would have dreams of the world “ending”. I was trying to reach her and my surroundings looked so similar to the tsunami aftermath. My second recurrent dream prior to her death I could feel an approaching danger. I would carry her to safety with no difficulty. Always trying to get out of the house and up to the attic. I felt a need to get to the attic for higher ground for safety. Since her death she sometimes comes to me in my dreams. My grandfather as well, he passed away 11 yrs ago. The first time they came to me as young adults healthy with no aliments. I now see (in my dream) my grandparents always in their home happy and healthy. They are doing daily activities as if they were alive. I am the only person who has seen them in my dreams. I feel they come to me to let me know they’re okay and waiting for me.

I dreamed that my Great Grandmother came to help me with something from out of town and I wasn’t there. Mind you she has been dead for over 17 years, which was just before my daughter was born. The night I finally got there she passed away peacefully in my sisters old bed. My mother and grandmother was there as well. I was never close to my great grandmother but I never hated her either. She was a funny, but quirky woman. Loved taking care of children but mentally did weird stuff. Like serve me frosted flakes in the morning and then put like 3 or 4 spoons of sugar. It was 1 year when I was 9 when she took care of me and my sisters a lot.

Hello, my name is Alishia. I have a recurring dream of an elderly Native American woman. In my dream I know her, she is family to me. I know that my great great great grandmothers were Cherokee, on both my paternal grandfather, and paternal grandmother’s sides. I have never seen their photos, but for whatever reason I know her as family. She just has that feel to her.
Anyway in the dream I am laying down and my “grandmother” is kneeling next to me. We are both inside a circle. The circle is made of friendship bracelets of many colors. It’s like a rainbow and is very beautiful and comforting to me. This dream has happened a couple of times during periods when I was very depressed or stressed out.
In my dream my “grandmother” is chanting, and appears to be meditating. She takes my hand, and holds it in both of hers while she appears to be concentrating, and chanting. There is also fire, and smoke or incense in the dream. It is a very comforting experience. In fact I’d like to have it again.
I have thanked her and called out to her. I don’t know what else to do. It just felt like the right thing to do. I wish I understood this better.
