Mother
Psychological (Freud)
The mother in a dream often embodies the earliest bond and a longing for security, yet she can equally mirror unconscious guilt or a wish to break away. In depth psychology she stands for the origin of conscience and for that inner part of us which nurtures and protects but sometimes also holds on too tightly.
Oriental reading
In Oriental and Islamic dream interpretation the mother is a sign of blessing, sustenance and the lifting of cares; to see her often promises comfort, honour and a way out of hardship. Beholding a deceased mother is frequently read as a call to prayer and a good omen of mercy.
People
Dream interpretation is for self-reflection and entertainment — it is not a medical or psychological diagnosis.
