Mother Dream Meaning

Seeing your mother in a dream is almost always tied to a feeling of safety and unconditional love, whether or not she is still alive. Her presence reminds you, deep down, of that first shelter where you could believe everything would turn out all right. How your mother seemed and what was happening in the dream make the meaning more specific.

• A happy, calm mother

  This shows a sense of stability and support in your life.

• Your mother ill or worried

  This can reflect a real concern about your mother's health. It can also point to some uncertainty in your own life.

• Arguing with your mother

  A hidden strain in your real relationship with her comes up in this dream, or a tug of war between independence and depending on her.

• Losing your mother and not finding her

  This dream often comes from a deep sense of insecurity, especially when you stand at the edge of a big change in life.

• Seeing your mother who has died

  For those whose mother is no longer alive, this dream sometimes comes as comfort, as if the mind itself wants to bring that connection back for a little while.
