My mom had gained a lot of weight and was stuck in bed. We knew she was going to die and suddenly the realization hit me and I completely broke down. Then I remember I was in line at a potluck and my uncle asked me for some of my food because there was none left, when I was walking to my table I locked eyes with my former step dad from my childhood and we both lit up. He told me I’m growing into a nice person but while we were being emotional and hugging he kissed me on the lips and I couldn’t tell if it was weird or actually happening at first l, but he did it again. This time my mom said she doesn’t care and he can kiss who he wants to.
Dreams can be complex and often have multiple layers of symbolism. In this dream, the presence of your mom being stuck in bed and dying may represent feelings of helplessness or loss in your waking life. The intense emotional reaction you had in the dream when you realized your mom was going to die reflects deep-seated emotions about her well-being or your relationship with her.
The potluck and your interactions with your uncle and former stepdad may symbolize various relationships and dynamics in your life. The potluck could represent sharing or looking for support, as potlucks often involve sharing food and connecting with others. Your uncle asking for your food when there was none left may symbolize a feeling of scarcity or competition in your relationships.
The unexpected interaction with your former stepdad may point to unresolved feelings or memories from your childhood. The kiss on the lips could signify a desire for connection or intimacy, while your initial confusion about the situation suggests mixed emotions or uncertainty about this relationship.
Your mom's response in the dream, saying she doesn't care and giving permission for the interaction, may indicate a need for acceptance or validation in your relationships. Overall, this dream seems to be highlighting various emotional themes including loss, connection, intimacy, and acceptance. It may be beneficial to reflect on these themes and explore how they relate to your waking life and emotions.
