Psychological Dream Interpretation:
The presence of various people in dreams reflects different aspects of your personality and inner world.
To understand the messages conveyed by the different people in the dream, it is necessary to analyze them deeply. Not all the meanings of the characters need to be fully deciphered. Sometimes, understanding the significance of your own behavior and relationship with the dream characters is sufficient. Dreaming of two opposing individuals or feeling a significant difference in your attitudes and behaviors towards two people often reflects contradictory aspects of your character.
Dream characters can represent individuals who have left a lasting impression on you, and sometimes they can evoke nostalgic emotions. Dreaming of your relatives typically reflects feelings of jealousy. Dreaming of a gathering of people or animals signifies similar meanings, with each object representing a different aspect of your personality.
If you deeply understand the significance of one character, you can gain clear insights into the corresponding aspects of your own personality.

The old person in the dream may appear in the form of your ancestors or grandparents, representing your experiences or acquired wisdom. When the old person in the dream is a male, it can represent the person himself or a prophecy he made. If the old person is female, it symbolizes a goddess or a sacred animal associated with some religion. The old person in the dream often represents the image of a father and implies a distant relationship with him. A group of old people can symbolize traditional values, past eras, and things considered sacred regarding family origins.
Dreaming of an old person can also represent a father or mother, although they may appear in a different form in the dream.
Dream Analysis:
[Dream Example 1]
In the dream, I gave a speech at a hotel and was preparing to go home. An old person appeared, and I hoped that they would accompany me. Suddenly, four young thugs approached and started to attack the old person. Eventually, they shattered the old person into pieces, which was extremely terrifying.
After graduating and starting to work, everything in reality is not as I imagined, and I feel very helpless. (Male, 26 years old)
Dream Analysis: The hotel speech reflects your lack of belongingness in the company, feeling like a transient. The old person and the thugs represent the struggle between two conflicting thoughts within yourself: the old person represents the longing for a corporate culture of "harmony," "unity," and "purity," while the thugs represent the reality of the company that you have observed. The thugs bullying the old person signifies the exclusion of your previous ideals by reality.
The dream of the old person being shattered into pieces expresses the anxiety caused by the disruption of your sense of security.
[Dream Example 2]
In the dream, I was attending a wedding, and it was my own wedding, but I was marrying an old person. I can't say that I love him, nor can I say that I don't love him, but he is indeed an old person. (Female, 26 years old)
Dream Analysis: Dreaming of getting married normally often indicates minor health issues. If a man dreams that his lover is marrying another man, it means that their marriage will be delayed due to troubles. If a woman dreams that her lover is turning to another girl, it signifies her own melancholy.
If you dream of being the main participant in a wedding, it indicates that you will have good luck in official matters. Here, dreaming of marrying an old person implies that there will be a stroke of good fortune.
