TomThere are many different types of dreams, but the ones that are very common are the dreams about fathers/dads. If you have had a dream about your father, this can be a very positive experience that gives you insight into your life and future.
If you have never met your biological father or if he died before you were born, then this type of dream is sign that you have big ambitions in life… maybe even too big.
If the person in the dream was actually your biological father who is still alive and well, then this can mean several things depending on how old he appears in the dream and what happens during the dream itself.
For example, if he appears older than he is in real life, then this could indicate that there are unresolved issues between you two or that there will be some kind of conflict between you two in the future if nothing changes soon.
Here are different dream interpretations, based on what happens with your father in the dream:
DREAMING ABOUT TALKING TO YOUR FATHER
If you dream of talking to your father, but he does not respond or does not seem to hear you, then it means that you have some issues with him and you are worried about them now.
You may also be afraid of confronting him with these issues because he may get angry with you for bringing them up.
A dream about talking to your father may indicate that you are searching for guidance, advice or direction.
DREAMING THAT YOUR FATHER IS SICK (ILL)
If you dream about your father being sick and dying, it usually means that you are worried about his health or that he might be ill.
This dream can also mean that you are feeling guilty because you haven’t spent enough time with him lately.
You may also be feeling guilty because of something you said or did to upset him recently, as well as fearing that his death is imminent.
DREAMING ABOUT YOUR FATHER DYING
The first thing you should do when interpreting your dream about your father dying is ask yourself what was going on in your life immediately before you had this dream.
If you were having problems with him when you went to sleep, it could be a manifestation of those issues coming out in your subconscious mind while dreaming.
If things were going well between the two of you, then perhaps this dream was just an expression of how much he means to you and how much you want him around forever!
If your father has recently passed away, then dreaming about his death may just be part of the process of grieving and dealing with his death in your daily life.
DREAMING ABOUT YOUR LATE FATHER
If you dream of seeing your dad after he has died, this is often interpreted as him saying goodbye. You may feel sad because he passed away, but you are also happy knowing that he is finally at peace.

This type of dream can also be indicative of feeling unsafe in your own home or living environment due to past experiences.
