The Elderly

To see oneself aged in a dream is interpreted as a sign that one’s life will be long. It is auspicious news. If the elderly person is a man, it is connected with money; if a woman, with affection.

To encounter and converse with an elderly person in a dream signifies a long life. If the elderly person has a white beard, it signifies that you will see radiant and happy days; if he has a black beard, that your days will pass with great difficulty; and if he has a grizzled beard, that you will live out your life passing sometimes through sorrowful and troubled days, and sometimes through cheerful and happy ones. To shake hands with an elderly person or kiss the elderly person’s hand is a sign that you have a happy family life.

According to another account: To see an elderly and very old person in a dream indicates a long life.

Whoever sees an elderly person—that is, someone who has grown thoroughly old—in a dream will receive auspicious news. If the elderly person is a man, the news concerns money. If the aged person is a woman, the news may concern affection. To take something from the hand of an elderly person is an approaching happiness. It is said that whoever sees his or her own old age in a dream will have a very long life.

To see an elderly person in a dream means that, if the elderly person seen in the dream is a man, the dreamer will obtain a very great profit from a work he has been engaged in for a long time. If the person seen in the dream is an elderly woman, it means that the dreamer has once again opened the door of his heart to amorous relations from which he had withdrawn for a long time.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
