[color:"purple"] [/color] <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />i was wondering if anyone could help me with my youngest daughter's dream? she dreamed my mom and dad both turned into ashes. let me say that my mom has had 2 brain surgeries in the last 2 months, but she is fine now. we also just moved into my parents home so we can build a home and have room for my mom and dad, and so my dad can retire. any help you can give would be appreciated. thank you.
Hi momhillard, and welcome to Bella <img src="/images/graemlins/easter.gif" alt="" />
For adults, ashes mean endings, failed relationships or business dealings. For children, symbolism can be slightly different depending on their ages.
I don't know the relationship between your daughter and her grandparents, but I'd say that if it is close, their turning to ashes in her dream means that she is afraid of losing them. This would make sense given your mom's illness.
If there is stress in the relationship, or if she is not happy about living in their home and the prospect that y'all are going to be living together for a long time, the ashes could represent a wish that they were gone. It doesn't mean that she wishes them dead, just that she'd rather not have the extended family situation.
Talk to your daughter about her dream. Ask her how she's feeling about the situation. If she's worried about your mom, reassure her. If she's having trouble adjusting to the new situation, just talking about it can make a difference. She may have questions that you can answer. If she knows that you are at least willing to listen, she'll be better able to deal with it.
