I am a 61 year old woman and have had this recurring dream from the time I was 3 or 4. In…

Dear friend,

For some reason very many dream requests have come into JustAnswer this afternoon, when usually they are rare. I shall try to respond to yours.

Dreams are a doorway into your unconscious mind and sometimes they have strong symbolic meaning.

To dream about an elderly woman signifies intelligence or strength of the soul. Listen closely to what this person is telling you. These dreams can offer ways to overcome certain difficulties within your own life and lead you to a better path. She was and is your spiritual guide and she gives you a sunflower.

The sunflower in your dream represents wealth, fortune, and good luck. The sunflower may be guiding you towards a certain path of self discovery. You will manage to overcome obstacles no matter how impossible they may seem. (On the other hand, according to dream interpreters, the sunflower may also represent arrogance and conceit. Some people may be presenting a dishonest face.)

The logs in your dream imply repressed emotions which hold important meaning in your life. Alternatively, they represent transformation. You are moving towards a promising future. That future, however is fraught with danger and all that promise, or all of those repressed emotions, must be resolved so that you can enjoy all that has been promised to you.

The logs are not just rolling, they are chasing you. This pursuit meansignify repressed emotions which hold important meaning in your life. Alternatively, it represents transformation. You are moving towards a promising future. It may be just the uncertainties of life that always threatend the future, as they do for all of us.

Your grandparents indicates affection, comfort, intelligence and safety.

This dream represents your childhood fears - something or someone from when you were just small, perhaps someone or something that hurt or threatened you, even though you were raised with wisdom, guidance, love and protection. You were able to evade it (perhaps not all of the time) and you felt safest with your grandparents, particularly the strength and wisdom of your grandmother.

Perhaps you still have repressed memories, or perhaps that dream has just burnt a deep groove in you memory banks and often replays along familiar and well-used pathways.

If the dream causes you distress you can get some hypnotic therapy regression sessions. You can just sit down, pen and paper in hand, and jot down all of the memories that you can spontaneously come up with from that era, particularly the scary ones. Perhaps you will uncover what is buried deep inside you.

Perhaps the interpretations I have provided may be of assistance to you. If not now, they may suddenly inspire recognition.

I hope I have helped and I wish you the very best.

Most sincerely,

Elliott Sewell, LPCC, NCC
