Meaning of a dream?

Question

To put my dreaminto words is kind of hard. Lets see.

My Grandparents passed away about 15 years ago. In my dream they were alive. In my dream they were worried about my Grandmother becoming forgetful. (Her short term memory.)

My Grandfather asked me and my Mom if it was ok for them to come live with us. He would pay to have a house bulit so there would be plenty of room. The basement was finished it was like a family room. The pipes in the ceiling weren't secure and were getting ready to break through the ceiling tile. They were big pipes. Everyone one living around us was very unfriendly.

When we called someone out to fix the ceiling and pipes. A bunch a people surrounded the front of the house. When they saw us at the door looking out they would throw sticks and rocks. At one point I opened the door and someone ran up to me and said we don't want you here...

I'm sorry for the loss of your grandparents - even after 15 years it is obvious you care for them and have strong left-over feelings about their plight.

They struggle a bit in this dream - and the dream comes a bit late to truly be a 'closure' dream, although it could be.  Such 'contacts' can seem quite real - yours in particular is very projective of long pent-up feelings about their situation in life and how others viewed or treated them.

Your grandmother's memory issues underscore a struggle they may have had toward the end of their lives to handle problems.  They apparently don't wish to intrude - but need help.  The somewhat odd living arrangment underscores a certain awkwardness that may have been experienced by some present.  The hostility of neighbors or whomever was outside throwing things indicates that some remedy for their living arrangment may have not been appreciated by others nearby.  The condition of their 'apartment' suggests a feeling of them getting shorted a bit - and perhaps family resources could simply do no more than whatever was done.

In sum, you seem to have perhaps struggled at the time with watching out for your grandparents - others may not have respected them as you would have liked.  Considering all that is now written here it may well be that your mind is suggesting closure - to face these past realities but to also realize they are gone from such suffering now.

Especially consider that last point - they would not want a loved one to feel the burden of the things you describe but would want you to let them go in peace.  All is well now - you don't have them here, but they do not suffer any shortage that they may have known on this earth.

Think these things over - they are suggested by what you have offered, perhaps you may find some answers and comfort in this.

All the best to you.
