I had a dream about a boy who needed to do a ritual, because he tried to talk to his dead Grandma and she hadn’t managed to do this odd little ritual to clear her blood of spirits, so instead of her returning, it was the spirits inside her that came. Like, the spirits when she was alive got lost in her blood, because it flowed through her body, and she was meant to bite her thumb and collect some blood in her mouth, and spit it into moving water, because the water would carry them away like her flow of blood in her body would. But she didn’t manage it before she died, and her blood stopped flowing, so they came instead when her Grandson called for her. So he had to like, trick them? He wore his Grandma’s death mask and bit his thumb, then tried to spit the blood into a bowl of water but the blood got stuck in the mask, so he took it off and submerged it. The ghosts thought it was her and just kind of walked away in her body, sinking into the floor like it was water. It was weird.
This dream about a boy performing a ritual to appease the spirits inside the blood of his dead Grandma can symbolize unresolved issues or emotions that are lingering from the past. The boy in the dream may represent a part of yourself that is seeking closure or resolution in a situation. The Grandma's failure to complete the ritual before her death could represent missed opportunities or unfinished business.
The act of wearing the Grandma's death mask and attempting to perform the ritual can suggest a desire to take on the burdens or responsibilities of someone else in order to find peace or closure. The blood stuck in the mask and the ghosts mistaking it for the Grandma could symbolize the confusion or difficulty in trying to resolve these lingering issues.
Overall, this dream may be highlighting the need to address and let go of past memories, emotions, or situations that are still affecting you in some way. It may be a reminder to confront and release these unresolved issues in order to move forward and find peace of mind.
