me and my mom were arguing and she threw a very small white bouncy ball at me in hopes to distract me and i grabbed it and i was like "its just a ball" and i turned around and she was coming at me trying to hit me but i dodged her and ran outside to my dad and i had to run all the way from the backyard to the front yard and there were people outside of the gate and my family members including my dad were all inside the gate. the people outside the gate were cheering something but i dont know what. i told my dad that my mom was trying to hit me so he confronted her and she was making excuses. after that there were suddenly a bunch of people coming for my brothers graduation party and i had to hug a bunch of people and smile at cameras. i cant remember what happened after that but i know there was more and something about someone in our family running outside the back gate and running away.
This dream appears to reflect underlying tension and conflict within your family dynamic, particularly between you and your mother. The small white bouncy ball symbolizes her attempt to distract you from the argument, possibly indicating her avoidance or dismissal of the issues at hand. Your reaction of acknowledging it as just a ball suggests your awareness of this tactic.
Running outside to seek support from your father signifies your need for protection and validation during the disagreement. The people outside the gate cheering might represent individuals outside of your immediate family who are unaware of the conflict but are blissfully enjoying themselves, highlighting the contrasting emotions between you and the external world.
When your father confronts your mother and she makes excuses, it suggests a pattern of denial or avoidance when faced with conflict. The sudden transition to your brother's graduation party may symbolize a temporary distraction from the ongoing family issues. The obligation to hug multiple people and smile for the cameras may suggest that you feel the need to put on a facade, suppressing your true emotions and experiences.
The mention of someone in your family running away outside the back gate could represent a desire for escape from the difficult family dynamics. Overall, this dream indicates a need for open communication and resolution of conflicts within your family, as well as a desire for genuine connection and support.
