I saw my dead aunt Suzanne and she was rude to me

Date: 2/19/2024

I had gone Halloween shopping to give my aunt Suzanne a gift for Halloween. We were all staying in a house. It was essentially a bigger version of my childhood home in Salem. In the dream, she was struggling with cancer just like she had been in real life. But she was the opposite of how she was in real life. In real life, she was sweet, humble, kind, reserved, gentle but stern. In the dream, she was loud, rude, mean, and expected everyone to treat her like she was a queen. So when I arrived late with my presents, I hurried and gave them to her, including an old book of mine. Afterward I went and took a nap in this girl's room who asked me to babysit her pet. She was a huge nerd and had shelves of her interests everywhere. Another guy was sitting on the bed and we ended up talking. I fell asleep and the next day I woke up and realized Molly had left me to go to our Grandma Bell's house to visit our sister Sophie. She had taken all of my things as well. I had no way to contact her bc she had my phone. I told my Grandma Hodge what happened, but she was fretting around and taking care of people and being busy. Molly finally came back from Grandma Bell's and I asked where my stuff is and she said it's in my car, duh. So I went to see if she had messed with anything and she did. My phone was underneath the backseat of the car and I had to fish for it. I packed up what I had accumulated with the things Molly left in her car. I asked Molly why she couldn't have just taken my things out of the car before she went and she didn't answer. I asked why she just let my phone fly around and end up underneath the backseat and she said it's not her responsibility. I felt hurt. When I went back inside to double-check everything was in order, I found my old book left behind by Aunt Suzanne. She left it on the table in a puddle of water. I started crying because I couldn't handle people being rude to me anymore.

AI generated interpretation This dream contains several layers of symbolism that can help us understand the underlying emotions and thoughts you may be experiencing in your waking life. Seeing your dead aunt Suzanne in your dream, who was struggling with cancer, may symbolize unresolved grief or feelings of loss that you are still processing. The contrasting personality traits of your aunt in the dream compared to real life – from being sweet and humble to rude and mean – could indicate conflicting emotions you have towards her passing and the associated memories and relationships. The Halloween shopping and gift-giving aspect of the dream may represent the need to commemorate, honor, or connect with your aunt in a meaningful way. Your act of giving her a gift, including an old book of yours, suggests a desire to share something personal and valuable with her, perhaps to keep her memory alive or seek closure in the grieving process. The theme of abandonment and betrayal runs through the dream, as symbolized by your sister leaving without informing you, taking your belongings, and showing disregard for your feelings. This could reflect feelings of loneliness, neglect, or not being valued or understood by those closest to you in your waking life. The presence of the girl's room with shelves of interests and the conversation with another guy may represent different aspects of yourself or your identity that you are exploring or trying to integrate. The nerd girl’s room and the act of babysitting her pet could symbolize responsibilities or obligations that you feel burdened by or find solace in when escaping from other stressors in your life. Finding your old book left behind by Aunt Suzanne in a puddle of water and subsequently crying may signify a sense of loss, disappointment, or feeling overwhelmed by emotional turmoil and unresolved issues related to your past and present relationships. The water could symbolize emotions, cleansing, or transformation that you are undergoing or struggling to cope with. Overall, this dream may reflect deep-seated emotions of grief, abandonment, betrayal, self-worth, and the complexities of human relationships that you are processing on a subconscious level. It may be beneficial to explore these feelings further, perhaps through journaling, therapy, or self-reflection, to gain insight and healing from any unresolved emotions or experiences in your life.
