What Does Dreaming of a Grandfather Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation, seeing a grandfather in a dream may point to the root that keeps a family standing, to experience, and to the blessing of elders. Seeing him content and smiling may be read as matters becoming fruitful, while seeing him displeased may point to a forgotten responsibility.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, the grandfather approaches Jung's archetype of the wise old man; he can stand for reason, boundaries, and a measure handed down across generations. His appearance to someone facing a decision can be read as seeking the guiding voice within themselves.
