Case Studies

Case One

Dream description: My mom recently dreamed about my grandma (her mother-in-law). In the dream, grandma asked mom to hold her, and they talked. Grandma was hospitalized, and mom watched over the steamed buns grandma was making—though she never saw how they turned out. Grandma passed away last year. Is this a bad sign? Mom injured her cervical spine before New Year\’s and still has difficulty walking.

Interpretation: It seems your mom had a good relationship with her mother-in-law. Don’t worry about the dream—just focus on treating her cervical spine and avoid overexertion.

Case Two

Dream description: I dreamed my mother-in-law died. Her hands were stiff, so I arranged her body with something like rope. Then she suddenly sat up and spoke to me, giving me kind advice. I cried bitterly before waking up in fear.

Interpretation: Pay more attention to your mother-in-law\’s health. Her words might reflect a lack of communication—spend time chatting with her; she may feel lonely.
