I dreamt I was caring for 3 generations of men. A grandfather, a father, and a son. We were in a dark parking lot that looked like pta, my old church, but I was driving everywhere. We were at a library at one point. The grandfather was losing his memory. I was trying to help him but the father didn't believe in my care skills, the grandson was fine with it. Asim, my future ex husband, was there at one point with his brothers. I was trying to decide who to have a baby with. I knew if I picked one, the baby would be related to Asim's brother's but not him. We were all trying to get the grandpa in the car so he wouldn't escape. The grandpa's friend was helping. The father felt embarrassed because of the grandpa's dementia but no one else did. We were teaching Zaida (a manager from my workplace) how to dance.
Interpreting dreams is subjective, as the meaning can vary based on the individual's personal experiences and emotions. However, I will provide a general analysis of the symbols and themes present in your dream.
The presence of three generations of men in a dark parking lot suggests a sense of familial responsibility and care. This may indicate that you are dealing with different aspects or roles in your own life, metaphorically represented by the grandfather, father, and son. The parking lot resembling your old church (PTA) could symbolize a place of familiarity and comfort where you have previously sought guidance or support.
The grandfather losing his memory may represent a fear of aging or losing important memories or aspects of yourself. Your attempt to help him despite the father's skepticism could indicate a conflict within yourself between trust in your own abilities and external doubt or criticism.
The appearance of your future ex-husband, Asim, and his brothers could symbolize a past relationship and the unresolved feelings or decisions associated with it. The dilemma of choosing which brother to have a baby with might suggest conflicting desires for commitment and family, combined with concerns about maintaining connections or ties to the past.
The efforts to keep the grandfather from escaping and the father's embarrassment about his condition could point to a struggle with accepting certain aspects of yourself or your family background. The presence of the grandpa's friend offering assistance indicates a potential source of support or guidance in dealing with these challenges.
Teaching Zaida, a manager from your workplace, how to dance might symbolize a desire to bring joy or lightness into your professional life. It suggests a willingness to share your skills or knowledge to help others succeed.
Overall, this dream appears to reflect various tensions and choices in your life, particularly concerning family, relationships, and personal growth. It may be helpful to reflect on the emotions you experienced during the dream and consider how they relate to your current circumstances and concerns in waking life.
