I have a recurring dream a couple of times a year that my father has died. I've been having this dream for about 5 years. In real life he is still alive although he his now in his 70's. Last night however, I dreamt that I recieved a phone call from my mother, telling me he had died, so I rushed back home to be with her, but when I got there, he was still there. Although he was officially dead, he was still alive, and we learned that he was waiting to be buried, and then he would be dead. Does that make sense? I've previously had a similar dream about my mother. What does this mean? A bit about me that might help, I do not live near to my parents, and I am in a longterm relationship I am considering leaving.
.nikki.'s interpretation::
This dream has a lot of consistent symbolism. Especially the phone call. Basically, you have been holding onto a belief for the past five years. You have tried to break free, yet you deny it exists. It waits just below the surface. Think about the traits you share with your father, possibly strength, logical thoughts. Now also, about your mother, since these have occurred with her, nurturance, "mom's intuition", mystical. Think about each one. But since your current dream focuses on your father, lean more to that angle of interpretation.
A phone, a telephone, is a symbol for you to listen more. These dreams can be powerful because they can be our soul guides sending us messages.
In regards to your present situation, how long have you known eachother, you and your partner? Sometime though, about five years ago, you realized a belief you held, was not your own. Possibly something your parents instilled in you, and you know it exists, yet deny letting it go. To you, it feels safe to hold this belief.
The traits you share with your parents should be looked at. Are they ones you dislike, but can't seem to stop expressing? Does your partner share any of these? Is there a connection? I think this has more to do with your relationship, than your parents' health. Still, since you live far away, and they are old, you may want to keep in touch more often, say what you want them to know. Maybe you considered moving closer to them?
Our parents are also symbols of safety, if of course that's what you were raised with. It varies upon your enviornment as they raised you to pinpoint the symbolism.
