An interpretation of elderly people dreams

An interpretation of elderly people dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Something old or elderly in a dream can refer to the past. It’s in the past, history. Or it’s worn out, getting old. Elderly can refer to problems with aging. For example, being too old to date someone much younger, or too old or too late to take on a task or start something new. It can be an expression of feeling old. Exhaustion, illness, stress, or worry might be making you feel old before your time, or you recognize the potential for that to happen. Advanced age can relate to realizing your limits. The symbolism can show in the age of objects in a dream, not just people. For example, an old, battered car can symbolize feeling or appearing old and battered. On the other hand, the elderly commonly are free to use their time as they please because they’re retired and don’t have needy children at home. And in this sense, if you are young and dream about an elderly person, it can connect with thoughts about having to wait a long time before you have that sort of free time. To dream about being old when in reality you aren’t can represent fear of getting older without doing everything you want to do. You might fear becoming infirm or not living your life fully, implying the need to make the most of the time you have. This possibility is especially likely if you see yourself aging rapidly in a dream, or see an image of yourself as a much older person and react with fear. See: Calendars, Time A man about to turn fifty years old dreams that he looks in the mirror and sees an old man. The reflection doesn’t look like him—he still looks and feels young for his age—but he recognizes that old age is rapidly approaching. He’s all right with it—at least, he doesn’t fear getting old—but he wants time to finish raising his kids and doing what he wants to do with his life, and he recognizes that his new job could make him old before his time. It’s stressful and could wear him out, but with the insight from the dream he can take steps to prevent that. A young woman dreams about an old woman who obviously doesn’t have much time left to live. The sight of the old woman creates a sense of panic in the young woman. It symbolizes her fear that she won’t be able to do everything she wants to do in her life. Old age is far off for her, but she has a sense of how quickly the time can pass. The underlying message is, “Seize the day.” When an elderly character is paired with a young one, it can be an archetypal configuration. Archetypes are created from opposites. Old can mean “wise.” If you react positively to an elderly person or see yourself as elderly, it might mean you embrace the role of wise elder or appreciate having that sort of guidance. Then again, to react negatively can symbolize rejection of tradition or advice. See also: Calendars, Death, Doctors, Fear, Grandfathers, Grandmothers, Hospitals, Time, Wheelchairs, Youth
