Dream meaning?
I recently broke up with my young sons father. It seems like it’ll be the best for involved but I’m struggling with the new lifestyle. A few nights ago, I had a strange dream about my ex’s uncle that passed away while we were together. When his uncle was alive, he spent most of his time rigging electronics to do things most people wouldn’t think to do. In the dream, I could see his face almost like he was taunting me. He was making fuzzy pictures show up somehow on my TV of me and the baby with my ex as a very happy family. Almost making fun of the fact that we’re not but somehow also letting me know he thinks we should be. I never knew him very well and he’s not someone I really think about. Has anyone ever had a dream like this….or any insight to why I’d have such a strange dream?

Forget the imagery. What were your feelings when you woke up.
Welcome to Fluther, Jeannette. I have very vivid dreams, and they typically bring in elements of everything I’ve thought about, spoken about or had an impression of during the day. They often involve long dead relatives or friends.
Certainly, no one but you can “interpret” your dream. But the emotions that you felt during the dream are likely a manifestation of emotions that you’re feeling in life now.
Just for grins, you might think about your activities during the day on which you had the dream. Was there anything that reminded you (even the slightest) of the deceased uncle of your ex? Maybe you saw some electronic gadget and thought of him. I suspect some tiny little recollection like that started to dance with unresolved feelings you have since your breakup, and this odd dream was the result.
I felt like he was trying to tell me something.
I’m not saying he was trying to tell me something….but that’s how it felt. I can’t imagine what couldn’t made me think of him of all people….I just don’t know.
I’m not trained to interpret dreams. I’m not a psychologist. In my opinion, however, your dream is a way of grieving the loss of your relationship. That’s all. It’s nothing sinister.
Welcome to Fluther.
@Jeannette_82, I agree with @gailcalled. The imagary in your dream is much less important than the feelings they conjure. Clearly, your subsconscious has joined your conscious in mulling over the changes in your life.
Your dream was about mourning the loss of your family. There is a part of you that is thinking there is something you could have done to keep it together. Your brain put the face of your exes uncle on that idea.
There’s no particular significance to him, other than he is related to your ex and so your brain placed his face on this idea that you are at fault for what happened.
