What are possible meanings for dreams of nephews?

When deciphering the reason that a nephew or niece is in a dream, follow the same process as with other dream characters. Generally, a dream character that is presented as someone you know symbolizes something about the person or something about the person that you see in yourself.

For example, if your nephew is good with computers and you’ve been struggling with a computer issue, you might dream about your nephew as a way of symbolizing your thoughts and feelings related to the issue.

If you have had recent interaction with, or thoughts about, a person and that person appears in a dream, then there is a good possibility the dream is related to the interaction or thoughts. For example, you see your nephew during a family gathering. Judging by the state of his life, you get the sense that he is making poor decisions that will have long-term consequences. You then dream about seeing him as a homeless person begging for handouts on a city street, symbolizing your hunch that his life is going nowhere.

Of course, it’s possible the nephew in the above scenario is a projection of fear that your life is going nowhere, in which case he symbolizes something you see in him that you also see in yourself. It depends on the circumstances. Obviously, if you have no such fear about your life going nowhere, the likelihood is that the dream is making an observation about your nephew, not about yourself. If you have not seen or thought about your nephew in a while, his presence in your dream is more likely to be symbolism for something related to you.

Also consider that a nephew or niece in a dream can symbolize other people in the family tree. For example, if your nephew is your brother’s child, he could symbolize your brother. For example, a man dreams his nephew is getting divorced from a woman named Ann, but in reality he’s not married or even dating. However, he senses that his brother’s marriage is going down the tubes—his brother is the father of his nephew. And, his sister-in-law’s middle name is Ann. The nephew in the dream is a surrogate representing the dreamer’s brother.

I had a dream about my sister that passed away.

My sister passed away last year after a long battle with alcoholism and drug addiction. This morning I had a dream about her. I want to know what it means.

It was us sitting in this kitchen but it was a kitchen I've never seen before. She was wearing a red t-shirt and jean shorts something she wore often. We were talking about her alcoholism and I was begging her to stop drinking. I kept telling her over and over again I needed her and that my nephews needed her. She then told me that one night when we were drinking together she blacked out but for a second she came to and that we were just dancing and goofing around in her kitchen. She smiled to herself and said "but wasn't that fun?" I told her yeah and then told her if she didn't stop drinking she was going to die soon. She then told me she was sorry but it's so late to change that. I remember we hugged and I woke up.

What do you think this means? Please answer me I've read that sometimes the dead can visit you in your dream was this it?

Grim Reaper

Back in 1999, I had a dream that I walked into a run-down trailer. The whole place was very dark, so I made my way to the only light, down the hallway in what I assumed was a bedroom. I opened up the door and in the room were 3 coffins. I was absolutely terrified but I knew I had to open them, so one by one I did. The first and second contained family members of a friend of mine, my friend's grandma and uncle. The third coffin was small, as of a child's. Although I didn't want to open it, I did anyway, and there lay my friend's nephew.
One by one, in order of how I opened the coffins, they all passed away in real life.

I just had a transcendent experience through a dream.

I'll just write down the transcendent experience, not the entire dream since it was very long.

In my dream me, my family and an odd assortment of friends were in my grandfather's house. We hired an historian to track down the family history and came out with an extraordinary discovery. We discovered that the documents that the historian gathered worked as some sort of talisman to summon a series of entities, ghosts if you will.

The last ghost was the one who caused/showed me the transcendent experience. It was so vivid that I'm still shaking with what he showed me.

I have a deaf nephew, and this ghost was a futuristic version of him. My nephew's name is Vincent, and this ghost said he was Vincent II, he looked very similar to my real nephew but much older, maybe 5 or 6 years older. He said something like he wanted to reassure my faith in the future.

When these ghosts manifested, they selected some people of the group and call them to a room where they show or tell us something.

Vincent II called me and my cousin. He was wearing a pair of goggles, and when he stood in front of me he took them off and said "hello, Christian" in the same way my nephew greets me.

Once in the room he said that he could show us something of what is to come. But we have to decide whether we go or not. My cousin said no, because he knew that the otherworldly travel sometimes takes several days and he was afraid of how long it might take. I said that I had to go, because I will never have that opportunity again.

We got up on his ship and Vincent II told me to look to a round screen, that I thought it was a window at first. And I could see some semi transparent spheres, Vincent II told me that those were all the possible futures or realities. Long story short, they were other times and other universes. He said he will show me a couple things from them. The first thing was a place, my family ranch, but looked different, there were other houses and the road had been paved. The transcendent part was the details and vividness of it all, it almost seemed like I was seeing something real. The smell, the touch, the colors of everything was so overwhelming and so real. I know it's crazy but seemed like a real glimpse into other reality or the future.

The other thing he showed me was a trailer of a streaming service, I'm not going to say from what company, but the service name was "HUGE". I saw a lot of known cartoons and series and some that I don't know. And again the vividness of it all was incredible, I still can clearly remember the voice of the narrator, the shows I knew and those that I didn't know.

When the trailer finished, Vincent II told me that I was dreaming and that he decided to show me all those things in my dream because I would be more receptive. He put me back in my grandfather's house and said that when he leaves, I'd wake up. And he waved me goodbye and I woke up.

I'm still a bit shaky. I have never had a dream like this before. I mean in my entire life.

Thank you for those who took the time to read. I want to write all the details of what I saw before I forget.

I'll just write down the transcendent experience, not the entire dream since it was very long.

I (m22) met my brother’s (m19) future children.

I (m22) met my brother’s (m19) future children.

I had a dream my brother and I went to our childhood park by my grandparents house. For some reason I was told I had to take care of some kids. My brother, who looked like his 19 year old self, explained to me right before we got there that they were his children. I met them at the park, there were two boys, both babies.

I held them and I wept, people always talk about the joy of having children and I never got it but in the dream I did. I was crying tears of joy because of these precious children my brother had. Very quickly they grew up to about 8-10 year old age within a minute. One looked exactly like my brother but with lighter hair and a little chubbier. The other looked skinny and taller with blonde hair and looked white (we are Hispanic).

I spent time with them but for some reason my brother left. I feel so weird about this dream, I feel confused and like I want to see my nephews again, any thoughts?

Recent dream of Murdering Family member

I am 17F, I don't know my personality type but I am very introverted. The dream had started off fine, There were 4 people present in my old apartment: Mom, younger brother, me, and my nephew.

Some girls that were my mom's friends walked in and gave me $15 dollars. Then my nephew started to dash out of the apartment into the stairway.

I went to go get him ,but my brother was blocking me from getting him. So I waited until my nephew was near the door crying( in real life he does not like him that much). I wedged the door open with my hand and told him to come inside while my brother was trying to make me move.

A few moments later, I have a hammer in my hand and I am swinging it at his head, his shoulders and collarbones and stomach. He didn't bleed ,but his skull and bones started looking weird. He went unconcious and I felt nervous.

I told my mom he had gotten hurt and that we needed to go to the hospital or call 911. We drove. At the end I got in trouble and I had to get surgery or something. Then I woke up.

I don't really like my brother that much because he stresses everyone out by stealing important things like money, my mothers car, credit cards, my mothers phone, etc. And he never listens which leads to everyone in my house shouting at each other; that really stresses me out and leads to me hitting things or myself.
