Sitting at a table at some kind of event w my husband and others, I only remember my mother-in-law being there but it was a long rectangular table. We had brought our own beer and he was drinking a lot and I asked if he drank them all and he said there’s one left. I could tell he wanted it so I said “and you want it. I’m leaving” so I got up to leave but there was some old newspaper folded up and I gently opened it to look and on the front page was a weird photo of a guy nursing a mermaids breast, I wasn't sure if she was a fake mermaid statue or real.
Dreams involving family members like your husband and mother-in-law often reflect different aspects of your relationship with them, as well as your feelings towards them. In this dream, sitting at a table with them in a social setting like an event indicates a connection between these relationships and your social life or public persona.
Your husband drinking a lot of beer may symbolize indulgence or escapism in some aspect of his life or your relationship. The fact that you noticed he wanted the last beer but decided to leave suggests a sense of emotional distance or detachment from him possibly due to his behavior or habits.
The image of the man nursing a mermaid's breast on the newspaper could represent a blend of the real and imaginary, possibly symbolizing a desire for nurturing or comfort that may be unconventional or hard to understand (like the mermaid). This could indicate a need for emotional support or a release from societal norms or expectations in your personal life.
Overall, this dream could be highlighting feelings of disconnect, curiosity, and a desire for deeper understanding within your relationships or personal dynamics. The mix of social interactions, indulgence, and unusual imagery suggests a complex emotional landscape that may benefit from further introspection and communication with those involved.
