Dreaming of old people is very common, whether it’s your parents, grandparents or just some wise old man or woman you never met before.
Actually, any old people in dreams can represent your parents, even if the dream people aren’t actually your parents and look nothing like them. However, old people in dreams may also be a reflection of your lifelong experiences or even your feelings about growing old.
Because people older than you in real life are connected to previous generations from a time when things were different, more simple and primitive even, seeing old people in dreams can signify traditions and old wisdom from history. They can represent the things you feel deeply are sacred to you, your family or your culture.
Finally, old people in dreams can represent the deeper, wiser and more considerate part of your subconscious and, therefore, these dreams may be trying to tell you something important that you need to listen to. Your dreaming mind is using the figure of an old person so that you respect their wisdom and advice.
