Was at a funeral for my dad who is currently still living. While waiting the church sang old timey songs I didn’t know. There were 4 of us on a row and k was sitting by my new husband I didn’t know well. The “family memeber” beside me was saying how she grew up in Minnesota and didn’t know any of these songs. We were trying to sing alto. It started with us in a church around a table and then morphed into the first 4 pews. My brother David was seated directly in front of me, his wife was on the same row. When one of the songs was finished, that’s when I realized the sanctuary was extremely cold and moved over next to my husband for warmth. I wrapped up in the quilt that was lying under me. Then it hit me my dad was gone. As the staff was preparing to roll him out I was sad I would never see him again and realized the casket had a glass upper portion and I could see him. I commented on happy he looked and how thankful I was that I had cut his hair Thursday. I handed a box of tissues to the people in front and mom said something. But as they rolled him out I could hear his voice saying several things we all m ew he said but The only words I remember are: “thank you God I didn’t make one wrong turn.”
Emotions upon waking were sadness mixed with gratitude. A need to see him. A desire to remember. Remembering that he always prayed Thank you God for one more day of life. This dream may symbolize the dreamer’s fear of losing their father, who is still alive in reality. The funeral represents the dreamer’s subconscious realization that their father will not be around forever. The old timey songs and the mention of Minnesota may represent the dreamer’s nostalgia for their childhood and their father’s presence in their life. The dreamer’s new husband may symbolize a new chapter in their life, and the fact that they don’t know him well may represent the dreamer’s uncertainty about the future without their father. The cold sanctuary and the quilt may symbolize the dreamer’s feelings of loneliness and longing for their father’s warmth and comfort. The glass upper portion of the casket may represent the dreamer’s desire to see their father one last time and say goodbye. The dreamer’s comment about cutting their father’s hair may symbolize their desire to take care of him and make him look presentable for his final journey. The words spoken by the father as he is being rolled out may represent the dreamer’s belief that their father is at peace and grateful for the life he had. Overall, this dream may reflect the dreamer’s struggle to come to terms with the eventual loss of their father and their desire to hold onto his memory and teachings.
