You might love ’em all to death, but your parents, siblings, kids, and grandparents can wear on your last nerve after a particularly dysfunctional holiday dinner, or a family vacation that’s gone a few days too long. And that’s just when we’re awake! To make matters worse, family members are often frequent guests in our dreams; according to certified dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg, author of Dream on It: Unlock Your Dreams, Change Your Life, mothers appear in dreams, on average, about once a week. Hasn’t Mom haunted us enough in our waking life?
In fact, though, your dream about your mother might not actually have to do with the woman who wants to know why you insisted on paying full-price for your new purse. “Basically, Mom in a dream is the manifestation of all that you would typically associate with the word mother: comfort, nurturing know-how, [maternal] discipline, even fertility,” Lowenberg explained. Fathers, too, play a symbolic role. Your dad in your dream reflects “your inner knower, decider, disciplinarian, and financier,” she noted.
