My dream starts with me entering a huge building that would be used for concerts, (I'd describe it as an entertainment centre) When I enter the door I'm at the top of the centre, and instead of seating there is a cemetery.  I realise I am there for my great-grandfather's funeral however I am 2 hours early.

I sit amongst the headstones and am pleased to realise I'm not scared (I used to be scared of cemeteries as a child). After a time I see that people are arriving for the funeral and stand up to go down the stairs to join them. Suddenly I am lifted into the air by an unseen force and am being taken away. My mum is seated waiting for the funeral to commence. She looks up and sees me, and at this time I'm released. I sit down as I'm frightened it will happen again. She beckons for me to come down, then turns around to speak to someone. I stand up and start to walk towards the stairs when it happens again.  I yell out to my mother, and when she looks at me I am released again. I now run down the stairs and sit next to her.

I notice that the people attending the funeral are not the relatives of this great-grandfather - he is my paternal grandmother's father - the relatives at the funeral are my paternal grandfather's side, which confuses me. Also, no-one is crying or appears to be at all upset.

I have not thought of this great-grandfather for many years and did not attend his funeral. I know that he was not well liked, but wonder why I would dream of him after all these years.

Hope you can help, many thanks

Theatre/Concert Hall/Opera House - represents observing the 'play' of your own life...the thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears, fantasies you have built up over the years.

Cemetery/Graveyard - A cemetery is a collection of dead organic matter. It's a sad and depressing place that doesn't reflect any joy, and reflects even less hope. If someone close to you has recently died, it would be normal for you to have dreams about graveyards and death. The graveyard in your dream may be a reflection of your mood or unresolved grief. It may literally represent sadness that comes from losing someone that you love.
However, if this dream is coming up and there has been no death in the family, consider your feelings in daily life. If you are feeling depressed or helpless in any way, look inside yourself and make attempts to increase your self awareness and your spiritual identity. It could represent things which require deep thinking and are not 'on the surface'. Graves could also symbolize the unconscious, and it could represent your past and long-gone experiences.

If you are walking through, or sitting in, the cemetery, it might be a sign that you are seeking peace and quiet. On the other hand, it could signify that you are holding onto the past. Your subconscious might draw the graveyard, if in real life you are under pressure and need to make a decision, or you are too preoccupied with your past experiences and want to bury them.

Funeral - represents your feelings about death.

Great-grandfather - usually the elderly represent wisdom, patience, guidance, and experience.  They serve as life lessons....to learn from their achievements, as well as their mistakes.

Arrive early - represents anticipation, and feeling the need to be prepared.

Lifted - To dream that you are being lifted, suggests that you feel you are rising above unpleasant conditions or issues. 

Mother - represents, nurturing, wisdom, the subconscious, intuition, natural and instinctive life, and more experienced part of feminine self aspect. Also, your relationship with your mother. That the dream isn't about your Mom, but she is there, suggests you feel the need for guidance, or support.

Relatives - usually represent an aspect of yourself relative to the character of the person in your dream. Sometimes represents your family traditions, subconscious attitudes, conventions, or even talents, that are part of the unique psychological and social environment a family provides.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you had a life-altering experience recently, possibly life threatening?
Is there something, or someone, that has brought up thoughts of your great-grandfather recently?
Are you feeling the need for advice, or guidance, in some area of your life?
Do you feel the need to 'rise above' a current situation?

Hope I could give you some insight, good luck!

Hi JayRae, thank you for your interpretation. I haven't had anyone close pass away in a long time, however I can relate to being preoccupied with past experiences and wanting to put them to rest or bury them as you say.

I love peace and quiet (me time) and try to incorporate this into my life at least once a week, if time permits, being a single mum makes this difficult sometimes.

"arrive early" - I always like to be prepared for things, I'm not one for being spontaneous.

I've not had any life altering or life threatening experiences recently and no one has stirred memories of my great-grandfather, that's why I was so amazed/confused as to why I would dream of him.

I can relate to rising above a situation though, I work with someone who is extremely negative and I tend to ignore her narky remarks and attitude, but this can be difficult at times.

I'm currently looking for another job but am limited at present due to being a single parent and needing to consider my daughter's needs. This is a bit depressing at times as there are some great positions I know I would excel at but wouldn't be able to commit to.

Many thanks
Lynnette
