What Does It Mean to Dream About Parents?

To dream of both your parents represents your conscience and intuition. There may be important choices that you are making or reconsidering.

Fathers reflect your conscience or ability to make choices between right and wrong. Your mother is your intuition or ability think ahead. She can also reflect how lucky you feel. To see your parents together is a sign that you have important decisions to make.

You might also have concerns about your own parents.

Example: A teenager dreamed of a man in a suit trying to take him away from his parents because his parents were selling drugs. In waking life he didn't like needing to return to school after a break. In this case the drug dealing parents needing to be taken away may have reflected his feelings about needing to separate from decision-making that felt addicted to pleasure during his break off school because going back to school required being serious again.

Parents in dreams represents the nurturing, responsibility, stability and unconscious masculine or feminine attributes depending the gender. It is not uncommon to dream of your parents dying, arguing, fighting, or hanging out. They are a part of our lives, what has helped shaped who you are as an individual along your life’s journey. Depending on your relationship and upbringing the context will alter and it would be up to the dreamer to find the meaning though the symbols that emerge in the dream. Dying parents can be seen as symbols of the old ways, major changes, rebirth, or aspects that used to be are dying off.
