The Struggle for Acceptance: Overhearing Criticism from Family Members

The Struggle for Acceptance: Overhearing Criticism from Family Members
I'm regularly going to the movies with my mom and when I come home I take a bubble bath. I overhear my family talking about what a bum I am to them. Even tho I do pay some rent to my mom cuz I can't dare feel comfy to go to my dad. It's not much but it's something. And I'm taking my shot to pursue my dreams. I work from home, am a content creator and do what I love. Anyway, I overhear my dad say to my mom that I don't understand or know what it's like to do shit. That basically Ive never done anything hard in my life. Then I hear my grandad say all these awful things about how he hates what I'm doing and that it's disgraceful and implore my cousin's to think the same. He also says he hates people 'like that.' (meaning people like me) The next day, we're all outside minding our business and my grandad rushes up to me to tell me how much he loves what I'm doing and how impressed he is with it. I confront him about being fake towards me and what I overheard the day before and he immediately changed into a violent person, telling me how much he hates me. He seems like he wants to kill me.

This dream may reflect feelings of insecurity and a desire for acceptance from your family. Going to the movies with your mom and taking a bubble bath afterwards may symbolize a need for comfort and relaxation in the midst of your struggles. The criticism from your dad and grandad may represent your own self-doubt and fear of not living up to their expectations. Your pursuit of your dreams and working from home as a content creator may be a source of pride for you, but deep down you may still feel the need for validation from your family. The sudden change in your grandad’s attitude towards you may suggest that you are constantly seeking approval and validation from others, even if it means confronting them about their true feelings. The violent reaction from your grandad may symbolize your fear of rejection and the potential consequences of standing up for yourself. This dream may be a reflection of your inner struggles with self-worth and the need for acceptance from those closest to you.
