Deceased Aunts: 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.
Dead/Deceased - Dead people who appear alive in dreams have three general categories of participation: cameo, resolution and judgment.
Cameo participation is a little eerie in recall, but not particularly noteworthy in the dream itself. In these cases, the dreamer simply sees a dead person intact and living, just hanging around in the dream scene. Often there is little direct participation in the dream per se. The dream image probably is tied to an activity that the dreamer and dead person once participated in together. Most likely, there is a latent sense of missing the person that made the dream appearance possible.
Resolution participation usually involves a specific action with the dead person. In this case, the dead persons' presence is central to the unfolding storyline. Either you lack something they need or they act in a way to provoke emotion (positive or negative) from you. In either case, the transaction or inability to complete it revolves around some deficit that needs resolution in the relationship. These dreams may carry a sense of judgment or joy, depending on whether or not the relationship transaction is resolved.
Judgment can often involve the dead person as a dead person or zombie. These dreams are particularly troubling as we often see ourselves as unable to reverse or complete the necessary actions to salvage a situation. What traits did the deceased embody during their lives (i.e. Uncle John was a saint; Aunt Agnes was mean) Was their behavior in the dream consistent with or contrary to their general behavior in life? Perhaps you need to look more closely at the true personality of the deceased and how they were characterised by others.
Jail/Prison - Dreams in which your physical movement is restricted, refers to any physical restriction in waking life. It suggests that you feel you are being censored and not allowed to express yourself.Dreams like this may refer to psychological constraints like being tied down with a personal relationship or a responsibility which weighs heavily upon you. If you are married, a dream of imprisonment shows that you feel locked up and dissatisfied with your marriage or relationship.
Walked & Talked - suggests that you need some quiet time for yourself, possibly also wanting the advice of someone else.
Beer (Alcohol) - Understanding the symbol of alcohol in your dreams depends on the relationship you have with it in daily life. It may symbolize unclear thinking or attitudes. Do you indulge too much in social life and not enough in other aspects of your life, spirituality or creativity? If you drink regularly, you need to look at the other details of your dream more carefully. However, if you drink rarely or never, then this dream could represent a need for you to escape from your daily stress and your desire to get quick relief. The alcohol could be suggesting a need for healing and getting in balance. Your subconscious mind may be suggesting outrageous things in hopes that you get the message to have fun, dream dreams, and get out of your own head.
Alcohol in moderation, suggests you feel contentment and satisfaction in the decisions that you have made. Alcohol in excess, signifies feelings of inadequacy and regrets. You may harbor fears of being discovered for who you really are. Alcohol may serve as a way for you to escape or be an excuse for something you did.
Please keep in mind that the purpose of dreams is to raise our consciousness and to assist us in having better lives. The message in the dream about alcohol is most likely not encouraging you to drink but it may represent a need to feel better or get better.
Went back to jail: changed - suggests that what you viewed as a jail might not be as bad as it seems. Alternately, it could suggest that no matter how you try to cover something up, it still is what it is.
Trying to hide your beer - Hiding yourself, or anything else, suggests something you don't want to face, or something about yourself you don't want others to know.
Restroom - A room of total privacy. May suggest you either lack privacy in your waking life, or feel that are currently too much privacy going on in your life.
Unknown woman - If she is unknown, she would be an unknown aspect of your own self. If she reminds you of someone you know, she would be a representative of that person.
Toilet - symbolizes emotional relief, or unloading unwanted pressure. It suggests that you feel the need to release pent up emotions, or to be rid of something in your life that is useless.
Toilet water - Water represent emotions. That this water was being thrown in your face, suggests some wasteful emotion is being thrown up in your face..(that you cannot ignore it any longer and must face it).
Fighting - usually symbolizes anger and confusion that comes about in times of change. If nothing is changing in your life, it may be a clue that a change is needed or that you want to change internally. Fighting with strangers usually represents an internal struggle. Fighting with familiar people may be an extension of daily life and a reflection on your relationship with them.
Church - a place of security, safety, and peace. It could represent a need for greater spirituality in the dreamer's life. It may express religious beliefs, everyday occurrences, issues of safety, security and strength through community, religious, or self expression. It could also be a symbol of your own 'higher self'.. representing a sign of your growing maturity and inner faith....not just of a 'higher power' but also the faith in the inner self.
Family - represents unity, strength, safety, and support. Also, the values, and moral lessons, that were instilled within you at an early age. Seeing your family in your dream is common, and it represents the way you relate with them. Do you get along with them... do you miss them... are they supportive...etc.
Wedding - Dreaming about getting married or being in a wedding is relatively common. If your biological time clock is ticking away and you are anxious to get married, this dream may be a form of wish-fulfillment. However, a wedding or a marriage in a dream is a profound and very personal symbol. It usually represents the harmonious integration of your personality or psyche (i.e. the coming together of masculine and feminine, physical and spiritual, subconscious and conscious components). The marriage in your dream may represent the union of the different sides of your own character. This is a positive dream symbol because it suggests a degree of self-awareness and integration. Many people dream about weddings during times of stress and difficulty.
Sister - symbolizes some aspect of your relationship with her, whether it one of sibling rivalry, feelings of kinship, caring, protectiveness, etc. Your sister may draw attention to your family role and sense of belonging. Also may represent qualities that you recognize within your own personality, or would like to.
Milk - symbolizes maternal instincts and motherly love. It also denotes human kindness, wholesomeness, and compassion for new acquaintances. It may suggest that you need to nurture some new aspects of your personality which you have just discovered.
Pink koolaid - Pink - a feminine color that usually symbolizes love,(tender love rather than passionate love ie: the love for a child, sibling, or parent, happiness, joy, compassion, the attainment of a goal(success), health and good feelings. Koolaid - This is refreshment is generally an item remembered from childhood. For me, it would represent summer, childhood, simplicity and simple times, happiness, or happy memories. However, you'll have to think of what it means to you. If you didn't like it, it may represent something distasteful. As in the case of the atrocities committed by Jim Jones, you may view koolaid as something not only distasteful, but poisonous as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is there some area of your life that is making you feel restricted in any way...job, lifestyle, finances, etc.? Is someone holding you back, not allowing you to express yourself, or to be who you want to be? Is there some aspect of yourself that you are just learning about and possibly denying it? Are you feeling the need for advice or guidance from a family member? Do you have an anger issue with someone, or even yourself? Is there some situation which is causing you intense emotions? Is there some area of, or attitude in, your life that you view as useless, or pointless?
Hope this gives you some insight, best of luck!
