Thanksgiving
To dream of Thanksgiving represents feelings about a situation where you are experiencing gratitude, harmony, and familial bonds that overlook problems or conflict in order to make it work. Thoughts about the importance of maintaining unity, smoothing over disagreements, and valuing shared happiness above personal differences. Compromise, acceptance, and choosing peace over conflict. Togetherness that intentionally avoids arguing or discussing differences in order to make a familial situation work out. A situation where you are intentionally not bringing up a negative past or personal problems in order to experience civility between people.
Negatively, dreaming about Thanksgiving may reflect feelings of forced politeness or the suppression of true feelings to maintain an artificial harmony. It might symbolize discomfort, pretense, or the pressure to maintain a facade of happiness despite underlying tension, disagreements, or resentment. You might feel obligated to put on a show of togetherness for the sake of family unity while glossing over unresolved issues or personal problems. You may feel a sense of unfairness in having to withhold genuine emotions or hold back the truth for the sake of others' comfort or happiness. Putting on a show about liking someone when you should probably just move on.
Alternatively, dreaming about Thanksgiving may reflect your feelings about actual family gatherings or social occasions, particularly if they are characterized by mixed emotions, tension, or unwanted obligations. Your dislike of family gatherings or social occasions.
Example: A woman dreamed of seeing her husband at a Thanksgiving/Christmas type dinner in a green suit and they hugged. In waking life, she was considering leaving her husband even though she still loved him. In this case, the Thanksgiving feeling may have reflected her feelings about respecting her husband enough to keep quiet to avoid a fight during a family moment.
Example 2: A young woman dreamed that it was Thanksgiving and her ex-boyfriend knocked on her door. She didn't want to talk to him but thought of him as her guest. In waking life, she bought her ex-boyfriend gifts and mailed them to him while believing it was a stupid idea afterward because it made her look like a clingy ex-girlfriend. Even though they are not together, she wanted to cheer him up. In this case, Thanksgiving may have reflected her feelings about the experience of buying her ex-boyfriend a gift after they broke up being inappropriate with gratitude, harmony, and familial bonds since they are not together anymore. She may have been overly concerned with feeling good about not thinking of her past, sharing a gift, and taking care of her ex.
