Thread: Dream about dad whos deceased killing brother whos incarcerated

Based on what you have said my best guess will be that the father and brother in your dream are not actually your father and your brother, but rather they are both you, but in your role as a father and your role as a brother. You said that you used to be on your brother's side of this issue until you had children of your own. Your dream essentially is saying the same thing only in a more graphic, violent, and exaggerated way. You in your role as a parent killed the part of you that is in role of sibling. Please note that this dream does not give your conscious mind instructions on what to do in my opinion, but rather states what happened, and that it was psychologically traumatic for you and still is. However, I believe that your conscious self needs to decide whether or not you want or need to change anything about that or not. It may be that part of you regrets having to sacrifice being a sibling, and maybe that part of you regrets not being in touch with your brother. But another part of you still is not willing to forgive your brother, and thinks he is not completely innocent perhaps (he is drunk in your dream, so his judgement is impaired). So I think this dream just summarizes the situation for you in an exaggerated way. Of course, I may be wrong: this is only one possible interpretation, and I am sure there are many others.
