The Family

To see one’s family in a dream indicates that the dreamer’s path is open, that he will easily attain the things he desires in life, that he possesses a peaceful life, that he is loved and esteemed by those around him, and that he is likewise a source of happiness for the people around him.

The interpretation of seeing one’s family in a dream signifies that, whatever decision the dreamer may make and no matter how mistaken his path may be, he has received and shall receive the support of his family. According to some learned men, seeing one’s family in a dream is interpreted to mean that the dreamer shall escape the troubled condition and financial impasse in which one of his family members finds himself, through the material and spiritual support of the family members.

The sight of one’s family in a dream is generally interpreted as auspicious. It indicates that there is distress, but that this distress shall be dispelled by his family. Some interpreters of dreams, however, interpret seeing one’s family in a dream as indicating that one of the dreamer’s family members has taken offence at the dreamer, is hurt by him, and awaits the dreamer’s noticing this and winning back his heart.

It indicates that the dreamer shall encounter difficulties both in his work and in his family life, that he shall endure this distress for a long period, but that the family members shall bring this distress to an end, after which there shall be peace, everlasting ease, and relief.

For the dreamer to see all the members of his family together symbolizes the measure of the material and spiritual strength he shall receive from his family. If the family members were seen complete and none were missing, it is interpreted to mean that the peace he shall find through support within the dream shall be equally enduring.

If everyone is present in the dream, yet the family members are weeping or sorrowful, it indicates that the dreamer shall gradually lose the support of his family and shall therefore enter an impasse and suffer troubles. Yet it indicates that, in time, he shall understand his error and regain the support of his family. If, in your dream, you saw the whole family amid a gathered crowd, it signifies that your family is being spoken of among relatives, and that there are many who speak and many who are spoken about.

To see a large family in a dream indicates that the dreamer passed peaceful and happy days in his former life, and that he shall henceforth be successful in his deeds or undertakings; for this reason, he shall greatly attract people’s attention.

It signifies that the dreamer is of a nature beneficial to the people around him, one who leaves no one in hardship, and that he therefore receives many prayers.

What does it mean to see a large family in a dream? It shows that the dreamer never abandons what is good and right, and indeed continually seeks what is better. If the dreamer saw the large family by the seaside or in the sea, it indicates that there is someone around him who seeks the dreamer’s help but is unable in any way to express it.

To see an unfamiliar family in a dream is interpreted to mean that, at a time when the dreamer has fallen into distress and difficulty, he shall receive material or spiritual support from someone who is around him but whom he does not know very well or who has not greatly attracted his attention in daily life.

To see oneself in one’s dream as the child of a family one does not know at all indicates that the dreamer shall suddenly meet someone and, after a short time, join his life with that person. But if the dreamer is married and sees himself in his dream as the child of a family he does not know at all, it signifies that the dreamer experiences fluctuations concerning his spouse: loving the spouse on one day and not loving the spouse on the next, that the spouse does not treat him very kindly, and that he is therefore troubled and unhappy.

To quarrel with one’s family in a dream signifies that a distress or problem in the dreamer’s life, which he thought could not be resolved, shall suddenly be solved at an entirely unexpected moment, as though touched by a magic wand.

To see oneself quarrelling with one’s family in a dream, contrary to the literal meaning of the words, indicates strength to be received from the family and troubles that shall thereby be resolved.

If the dreamer is weeping or shouting while quarrelling with his family, it is interpreted to mean that, in the near future, the dreamer shall achieve a success that will make a great impression and be heard by all his relatives or those around him, and that his family shall stand behind this success.

If the dreamer is quarrelling in a dream with another family whom he does not know at all, it is interpreted to mean that he shall find peace and give direction to his life through the support he receives from a person or family he does not know at all.

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 emotional life, work and responsibility, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
