I have this dream for three nights. My mother and I are planning my father’s funeral. We go to the funeral home, and my mother says she wants them to do the funeral, because they did a good job on her funeral. They ask her how does she know about her funeral and she tells them she was not dead when they did her funeral. My mother died December 12, 1999. I never see the funeral and I never see my father. I would like to know what this means. It has made me a little edgy. I keep calling my father and he is okay, and I am beginning to think I am nuts.

Death in dreams is the psyche's best symbol for profound transformation. No, of course your mother was not dead at her "funeral" - she was alive in your psyche and transformed. Your "mother" aspect had to transform when she died a physical death in your waking life. Now it's time for your "father" aspect to transform, to die a death within your psyche and be reborn as something else. How has your father left his mark on you? What has he given you, psychologically speaking? What truths has he imparted to you - beliefs out of which you make your daily decisions. The dreams are asking you to examine these - the way one would examine a life in a eulogy or obituary perhaps - and make decide if these truths still serve you now. It's time to bury something - mom says so - what is it?
