Father
To dream of your father represents your conscience, your ability to make positive choices, or choose between right and wrong. Dreaming of your father may also reflect your feelings about a decision you've already made or are considering. Feelings about someone with authority making decisions for you. Fathers in dreams can also symbolize your current feelings about him if you have issues with him that need to be dealt with.
Positively, dreaming of your father may reflect the decision to make a moral or positive decision. Deciding to stand up for yourself or feeling that a problem has gotten out of control and deciding to do something about it. Choosing to be realistic or practical.
Negatively, dreaming of your father may reflect decisions you dislike having to make. Feeling that you need to make a choice that doesn't feel good at all or one that will not benefit you or cause long-term problems. A decision to keep doing something that isn't a good idea. Letting someone with authority make decisions for you or that aren't in your best interest. Feeling that you've made a terrible decision or horrible mistake.
If your father is angry or sad in a dream it may represent your feelings or disappointment or frustration about how a situation turned out based on a choice you made. Being angry at yourself for having made a wrong or stupid decision. Alternatively, it may reflect anger with your father or anger towards yourself due to past issues with your father.
To argue or fight with your father represents an inner struggle in your waking life with choice. Internal conflict or debate with yourself over what choice to make. Struggling to stand up for yourself.
To dream of getting married to your father may represent feelings about permanent decisions being made. Negatively, it be a sign that you feel you will be permanently stuck with an undesirable situation if you make a certain choice.
If your father dies in a dream it represents moral decay. You have lost your ability to make positive choices, to stand up to problems, or are cold and uncaring in your decisions. No longer caring about your conscience or having to do the right thing. Feeling that other people with authority don't get to make decisions for you anymore. Alternatively, it may reflect failed decisions or choices that didn't work out.
If you father is dead in real life and appears in your dream he is most likely just a symbol for your conscience unless you have issues with your father from your past that you haven't dealt with.
Alternatively, your father in a dream may reflect a father figure, role model, or person that has authority over you such as a boss. Negatively, it may reflect feelings about someone totally controlling you or making important decisions for you that makes you feel less important.
Example: A man dreamed of seeing his father talking to his friend. In waking life, he was debating whether or not to call that friend on the telephone. In this case, the man's father may have reflected the man using his conscience to consider the choice about whether to call the friend or not.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of being unable to find her father. In waking life, she was felt unable to make the choice to confront people who were treating her poorly. In this case, the woman's missing father may have reflected her awareness of how difficult it was to make the choice to stand up to people.
Example 3: A man dreamed of biting his nails and anxiously trying to avoid his father's criticism for it. In waking life, he was very nervous about not upsetting his new boss. In this case, the father may have reflected his concerns about his boss being an decision making authority figure and the need for approval.
Example 4: A man dreamed of his father slowly sticking his penis into his anus. In waking life, he felt that he was close to make a decision that would totally screw him over in business. In this case, the father may have reflected own internal conflict and feelings of vulnerability regarding the decision, as well as the potential negative consequences he feared would arise from making the wrong choice.
Example 5: A man dreamed of his father telling him about alligators. In waking life, he made a decision that certain financial choices he had on his mind were too dangerous and needed to be avoided.
Example 6: A woman dreamed of seeing her father fall through thin ice into freezing water. In waking life, she decided to move knowing it was expensive and then began to experience financial problems. In this case, seeing her father fall through ice may have reflected her feelings of vulnerability and the potential danger of her decision to move, as well as her need for guidance and support in navigating the challenges that arose from her choice.
Example 7: A woman dreamed of seeing her father worried and anxious. In waking life, she was worried about not being assisted spiritually by her deceased father. In this case, the father may have reflected her desire for guidance and support from her late father, especially in times of difficulty or uncertainty to the point of being irrational.
Grandfather
To dream of your grandfather may represent your conscience in situations that you have previous experience in. Your ability to make a decision or choose between right and wrong when you already have previous experience.
Alternatively, a grandfather may symbolize wiser choices or experience that overrides your own decisions. Grandfathers may also represents decisions made for you by someone smarter or more experienced than you. A decision to stop what you are currently doing because you feel it's in your best interest. Being objective about your own bad work or poor decisions.
Example: A woman dreamed of seeing her Grandfather showing her some beautifully crafted bookcases that were empty. In waking life she was beginning to think about making the decision to stop putting off her ambition to write. The Grandfather reflected the overriding decision to change her life towards writing from her current life.
Example 2: A man dreamed of walking with his grandfather and having a conversation. In waking life he was trying to decide what educational path he should take for his future. He was considering what was really best for him and what strengths would be best to develop.
Example 3: A man dreamed of his Grandfather screaming at him to wake up. This caused him to actually wake up from the dream. In waking life he had a serious medical condition that could kill him if he fell asleep for too long. The dream may have actually been a metaphor for experiencing God making the decision to wake him up from sleep to save his life. In this case the Grandfather would metaphorically represent God making the decision to wake him up, overriding his stupid decision to allow himself to fall asleep.
