What are possible meanings for dreams of grandmothers?
A grandmother in a dream can have the same symbolism as a grandfather in the sense of being an elder figure and important person in your life, someone from whom you learn directly or through example, so read that entry. In much of it, you can substitute the word “grandmother” for “grandfather” and not miss a beat. See: Grandfathers
Grandmothers are typically figures representing mature femininity, such as maternal wisdom, protectiveness, and care. However, your experience with your grandmothers and grandmotherly figures might not jibe with the archetypal image of them.
The symbolism of a grandmother can be based on the universal image of a grandmother, or on your personal experience and the specific traits and characteristics of your grandmother. What do you see of her in you? How does she influence you and your family? Have you had recent interaction with her, or has she been on your mind?
A grandmother can act as a surrogate character for your mother (or great-grandmother). She’s a natural choice for the role.

My crush wanted to marry me but mom got in the way
I had a dream that i was with my crush shopping, i was being too friendly, hugging him, holding his hand, at one point he gave me a piggy back ride. We walked past the newly born section and they had those teennnyy tinyy socks and i was showing it to him and saying i want one. Anyways, we stopped somewhere and i told i im meeting my mom, and its not a good idea for her to see him. He said ok & left. Mom came with my siblings, and i started shopping with her, at one point we got separated in the shop & i can hear my crush, i went towards the voice & he was talking to my very religious mom. He saw me, smiled & walked away. I didnt know what was said. I then left with my mom and we went to grandmas place were my aunts were there. Mom started talking about how much crush approached my mom and told her that he’s with me & wanted to see me (when i got separated from her during the shop) she started asking why, he told her he wanted to ask me why (she was saying that to her sisters mockingly) to which she told him basically to go away, never see me again, he kept saying that he liked me so much he even wanna marry me, but mom insisted that he leaves and that will never happen.
I hearing this for the first time felt to applaud of what mom said to him and soo happy he liked me too, no one ever likes me. So i left her, & went looking for him while sobbing. I found him told him that i didnt know & mom had no right. But he said sorry he shouldnt anymore & left

Protagonist in my dream was a colour shifting scorpion
Hi
So, I already read upon dream interpretations. There's different meanings of scorpions and different meanings of the scorpions colour. My problem: the scorpions colour switched whilst I was trying to catch it in order to safe my family and also trying not to get stung myself.
Might anyone be so kind, trying to figure out what my subconscious self is telling me? Ask anything though, I'm an opened book.
It started yellowish, sitting on the wall. When it run towards me, it turned dark red. I ran away from it. fell downstairs whilst it was chasing me. Suddenly it was like black? But also had features I think in maroon? I was scared of it and it was quite aggressive towards me (running at me, waving its stingy thingy, trying to attack me) and I tried my best to get rid of it before it could get to my grandma.
Help.

dreamt of Lucifer being a god & God being the devil
i had a dream where i was driving to my grandmother’s house & looked up at the sky to see Lucifer was in the sky and God was basically in hell. Lucifer’s horns were the shape of clouds but he was still in heaven and then God was on fire, so he was in hell (in my dream— i’m trying to be more specific about how it was). we all know it’s the other way around in real life and yet in my dream it was the opposite. and then as i was driving, God begins to chase our car and then he turns back around— he “turns his back on me” as i thought in the dream. i woke up from this dream at exactly 4:44AM. what could this possibly mean? i do believe in God. i pray to him all the time and he blesses me so i am quite confused, although as of lately i have been questioning Him but who doesn’t ??? but i also believe in the Universe— i practice spirituality, all the while believing in the Christian God because that is how things work for me. i have never had a dream of such entities until tonight and i am a bit afraid to go back to sleep because i don’t want to dream it again... if anyone could maybe give me insight on what this could POSSIBLY mean, please please let me know.

Ridiculously expensive League of Legends merch with glowing gigantic Teemo penis sold at a hospital
My mom fractured bones from her cheeks and I accompanied her in the hospital with my extended family.
When my mom's in the MRI, everyone of us could hear her muffled screams as well as seeing the images from a screen.
My grandma noticed that the butt area of my pants are torn apart and warned me. Some of the pants/shorts I have IRL are torn apart in the crotch area, but never in the butt. Also in the dream, I was wearing white underwear when the last time I wore white underwear was when I was a child.
Timeskip. Now I'm roaming around the hospital and asking about where they sell the "league of legends champion eggs with props" and their prices. Some say 6 liras (72 US cents), some say 7 liras (84 US cents). This may seem cheap, but this dream takes place in a public hospital (aka poor people hospital) in a poor country. A normal price would be 3 to 4 lira (36 to 48 US cents).
Timeskip again. I find a white room with multiple displays that show all of the champions. There's a vending machine in front of it. I take look at Tristana, my main and fave. Her prop is a penis as long as her arm and it glows. Apparently that penis belongs to Teemo.
I put my money (can't recall the amount) in the vending machine and get an unknown champion that isn't Tristana. I get 5 liras (60 US cents) of change back and put it back in, but immediately regret it.
To all those read this, I'm really sorry.

Deceased grandmother tells me I’ll be dead at 33
Hello! I’m hoping someone can interpret this for me. My grandmother passed away 3 years ago. We weren’t very close but our relationship was ok. She lived with me for the last 5 years of her life as my dad was her main carer.
Last night I dreamt that I was sitting in a bedroom (not my own) and she walked into the room. She looked healthy but I knew that she had passed away. I asked her how heaven was and she told me it was good! I can’t remember the conversation in between this but she told me that I will die when I am 33 (I’m 28 now) and I will die while I’m helping someone else so I need to look after myself.
I’m a healthy individual with no health complications or concerns. If anyone could give me a few ideas about what this might mean I would appreciate it!
