Grandfather

Grandpa, Granddad

Calm, patient and full of stories: that's how grandfathers often appear in dreams. He stands for experience and for lessons that have been tested by time. Traditional dream lore says a chat with a grandparent comes before a hurdle you'll get over by listening to someone wiser. So if he said something, even something odd, hold on to it. A cheerful grandpa also hints at steady years ahead and a family that sticks together.
