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.
