What does a mother mean in folk tradition?
In folk tradition seeing your mother in a dream is a good sign: it means protection, prayer and the warmth of home. A smiling mother is believed to foretell that things will go well, and her advice should be listened to carefully.
What do psychologists say?
Psychologists say a mother in a dream is often your own inner caring voice, the part of you that looks after yourself. If you argued with her in the dream, two wishes inside you may be competing.
How did your mother look in the dream?
Her mood often reflects your own state.
- A calm, smiling mother: peace and support
- Your mother talking to you: advice you need right now
- An upset or sad mother: guilt or a lack of care
- Hugging your mother: longing and a need for warmth
What to ask yourself
Whose support do you need right now? Maybe it is time to simply call your mother or someone close and ask how they are?
