My grandmother passed away almost a decade ago. I dreamed that I'm in a some sort of a small kitchen where she was cooking and there were pots of freshly cooked meals. I hugged her, happy to see her and I had the feeling that she's still alive. I asked her if she wants to rest and, because I was concerned about her cooking and I was planning to finish cooking for her. She said she indeed wants to rest. Then I woke up.
The dream may represent your desire to connect with your grandmother. Seeing her cooking and being in the kitchen may suggest that she played an important role in your life and nurtured you. The fact that she appeared alive and well in your dream may indicate that she will always be a part of you, and her memory continues to live. Your concern for her well-being and willingness to help her may suggest that you want to take care of her memory and keep her close to your heart. The dream may also serve as closure for you in that you're able to tell her that it's okay for her to rest, as if to say that you've come to terms with her passing.
