hey everone a while ago i had a dream that was about my dad, i was standing outside of a nice big house next to this lake, and we were having a party because my dad was retiring. at the party there were a lot relatives and family friends that i haven't seen in a long time. at the party i was standing in a group which consisted of me and my dad, my mum and a few close friends of theirs. my mum said they were going somewhere and all of a sudden my father and i had left the party and were walking along a road by ourselves. while we were walking i was always in front of him and impatient for him to hurry up? I know that this dream means something but i'm not sure what. My dad is still a few good years off retirement and we've never been all that close after i moved out of home. i kind of have this feeing that the dream might be bout my relationship with my dad? any help would be much appreciated!! peace love kyle
It seems pretty likely that this dream is about the relationship between you and your father. The fact that you are impatient may be significant. That could mean that you feel that you have made some progress in life...whether that's emotional or spiritual or whatever else might be more apparent to you. Maybe you want him to catch up to you in some sense. The dream may reflect a desire to be closer to him.
You said that you hadn't been close with your dad since moving out of the house, not that you were never close which leads to this- Perhaps you feel that when you left home you left him and your relationship with him behind and you miss that in a way. It's normal for children to expect their parents to hold up the entire relationship by themselves and to not call or write expecting the parent to, is it possible that you feel as if he isn't holding up your relationship? That he isn't actively being your father anymore and you expect it? (Wether you want him to or not?)
thanks guys yeah, the past few years have been kind of hard because i've been fitting my last two years of school in with trying to take care of myself and i suppose i blame my dad for that. a few years back he took a job and left with the rest of my family to go to some town far away. One of my uncles told me that my dad was really beating himself up for it and told me that telling my dad that i forgive him would really help, but i haven't actually said it yet. peace
