I was in my grandparents old house (both of them are dead and I haven't been in that house in about 10 years). I kept flushing the toilet but every time I flushed, something would come up out of the toilet. The first time I flushed a paper towel roll came up, then a trash can, and I kept trying to flush them back down but it didn't work
Dreams involving familiar places, especially ones tied to significant memories like a grandparents' house, often evoke feelings of nostalgia, loss, or unresolved issues from the past.
In your dream, the act of flushing the toilet can symbolize a desire to cleanse or get rid of something in your life, possibly related to emotions or memories associated with your grandparents or your childhood. The accumulation of items coming back up—like the paper towel roll and trash can—might represent feelings or thoughts that you cannot easily dispose of or let go. It could suggest that there are unresolved issues, cluttered thoughts, or emotions that you're struggling to process.
The specific items that are coming up—like a paper towel roll and a trash can—might further symbolize feelings of being overwhelmed or burdened by trash (possibly representing negative emotions, memories, or experiences). Trying to flush them back down could indicate an attempt to suppress these feelings or experiences instead of addressing them.
Overall, this dream may reflect your needs to confront and process past memories or feelings associated with your grandparents and the legacy they left behind. Consider what emotions or thoughts may need attention in your waking life, and whether there are unresolved issues that you might benefit from exploring further.
