Dream Interpretation Family

Dreams featuring our family members can be reassuring. They may give us confidence and support, or they may concentrate on present long-term problems from which we have little prospect of escape. If you dream of your life's partner, this dream could carry a very important message about the condition of your relationship. A negative dream of a partner would imply an underlying problem when all seems well in the relationship. If you dream of your parents, they represent ultimate authority figures in dreams and stand for your insecurities. If your father was authoritarian, his appearance in the dream could reflect a lack of self-confidence. Dreams about your brothers and sisters may represent characteristics which you admire or dislike about your siblings or about yourself. Dreams, involving grandparents, are always extremely positive. Dreaming of a dead grandparent would suggest that you inherited some of their wisdom.

Dream Interpretation Home, family

A dream of home often relates to our sense of emotional and financial security. The most common home theme is that of dreaming of living in the house in which you were a child. Our first home will always remain an emblem of home, family, connections and traditions throughout our lives. The dream may say that you feel nostalgic about the past, or you are trying to relate the past to your present life. Consider this dream as an opportunity to reflect on early patterns and understand your essential beliefs about family and home.

PROTEAN FAMILY (The): The Protean Family is made of most of the lineal descendants of Proteus Coven in New York City. The High Priestess of Proteus, Judy Harrow, founded the coven in the Gardnerian practice during the early 1980's.

In late 1985, after a series of internal conflicts over some of the changes of practice instituted by Harrow, a body of Gardnerian Elders indicated a desire to disassociate with Proteus and her descendants. In the early 1990's, Harrow declared the Protean Family to be a "self-aware subgroup" of the Gardnerian line.
