I was in the past, at my mother and father's house a year after i was born, watching them. (Only they did not look like themselves, nor did I) They were living in an apartment and had a piano that belonged to my grandmother, one that my sister now owns. I watched them take care of me--badly-- and go about their day. my father was busy in his career and good at it but neither one of them were good at parenting. I was frequently in danger. There was excellent food brought in from a conference. Steak and potatoes. I tried to eat some (as myself ) but there were many many kids at this party wolfing down the food. I managed to get a few bites. I tried to take photos of the piano and of the address on the apartment building to prove to them that i was there but those kids at the party chased me to see my phone. (of course they didn't have cell phones back then) I managed to take a few pics in spite of them.
This dream seems to be reflecting some unresolved emotions or concerns from your childhood. Being in the past, at your parents' house a year after you were born, suggests a desire to understand or revisit your early experiences and the dynamics within your family. The fact that your parents and even yourself did not look like their actual selves can symbolize a sense of detachment or disconnection from those memories.
Observing your parents taking care of you poorly and going about their day may indicate feelings of neglect or being overshadowed, possibly relating to your upbringing. The danger you frequently find yourself in suggests a lack of safety or security during that time. This could represent a deeper longing for better parental care or support.
The presence of excellent food being consumed by many kids at a party may symbolize abundance or opportunities that were not fully accessible to you during your childhood. Your limited ability to eat the food signifies a feeling of missing out or struggling to fully enjoy the benefits available to others.
Your desire to take photos of the piano and the apartment address might indicate a longing for evidence or validation of your past experiences, possibly to make others aware of the difficulties you faced. The chasing by other kids, who represent obstacles or distractions, suggests that you may have encountered challenges or resistance in expressing your truth or seeking recognition.
Overall, this dream suggests unresolved emotions and possibly a desire to revisit or understand your experiences from childhood. It highlights feelings of neglect or overshadowing, a sense of missing out on opportunities, and a longing for validation or understanding from others. Exploring these feelings further in your waking life may help bring closure or insight to any unresolved issues.
