Thinking, feeling, sensual and intuitive perception Each person keeps archetypes deeply in his subconscious. In some ways, they are “supernatural” plans. These plans may be accomplished in childhood experiences, socialization, and even through the experience of parenthood, also they can be distorted. C. G. Jung began to study the archetypes and divided their function in thinking, feeling, sensuous and intuitive perception. Each function has “positive” and “negative” characteristics, which can be described with adjectives “more” or “less”. Each of the male and female sides of the personality has these four functions. The perfect balance may be achieved if all sides of the personality can be expressed as:

• The loving father and loving mother are self-explanatory.
• The monster represents negative inserted male anger, and the mother can destructively and deliberately destroy or simply suffocate this.
• The bright young man and the Princess are more amiable, fun-loving personality.
• The hero is the part of independent, messianic personality.
• The Amazon stands for self-satisfied female – career woman.
• The villain is the masculine part of the self, the power to use others for own purposes.
• The athlete, the typical “women’s libber” who says she doesn’t need any men (like Amazon).
• The Priest or priestess are the intuitive powers that are available of the “big whole”.

Dead father/grandfather dreams soon after the death of him

After the death of someone very close to us, we are having a lot of dreams of this person; it can be a father, grandfather, mother or any other relative. It is our mind that recreates the image and the feeling of our beloved ones. The depth of the connection between a person and the father or grandfather of him is the reason of how much dreams about deceased relative the dreamer might have. Psychologically, it is the representation of what happened in waking life, our minds still accepting the fact of the death. It means that the feeling of the security in the life of the dreamer has changed and developed to new level, where the dreamer is alone responsible for it. He has it all in his own hands, what was before the death shared between him and his father or grandfather. Sometimes the dream about dead father is so strong, that the dreamer might be even crying while he is sleeping. The release of the emotions and the acceptance of the fact throughout the dream is the reflex of our healing soul and body. So, at first those dreams are giving us an ease in relation to our loss, then over time the occurrence of such dreams becomes less frequent, and the importance of symbolic interpretation becomes more evident.

Dreaming about the death of the father while he is alive

It is strong dream. Personally, I had such dreams often while my mother was alive. I know the feelings that are triggered by such dreams and the meaning is also very clear for me, but it is very individualistic and can’t be attached to everyone’s dreams. By my personal experience, the dream about the death of a relative was the realization of deep hidden expectation that the death is not avoidable and the acceptance of it before it happens is the solution to the inevitable changes of my life. Generally, the creation of such experience while we are dreaming is based on amazing ability of our subconscious mind to prepare us so that we become more stronger and capable to bear anything who might seem first unbearable. In other words, the dream about the death of the father (or other relative) while he is alive is the training to live a life without him (or any beloved one). So, this dream means that after each of such dream we become stronger. Also, it announces that sooner or later we will receive the authority, power and wisdom that our father or grandfather have.

It doesn’t have such prophetic message, of which you should think about. But it sometimes becomes very common dream for those who are in constant thinking about the health of the father or other relative. It shows delicate care and strong bond between two also.

It means that you can bear a lot of more and that depends only on your own wish. There isn’t anything to stop you. Keep in mind that and all your wishes comes true. If in the dream you seen resurrected grandfather, then it symbolizes constant wisdom that is around you.

Talking resurrected father/grandfather

If your father or grandfather was talking with you, try to remember what has been said. Is there some important message in the words of resurrected one? Alternatively, it means that you are very responsible person with the information, which you manage. If you are sharing it, then you are doing it in so delicate way for the better. Also, it can symbolize that you have the ability to encourage others just by speaking positive truth. Father represents logical aspects of how you do manage those things, while grandfather – common sense aspects of the same.
