Uncle

Uncles may appear in dreams for several reasons. They can be connected to past experiences, unconscious traits that are similar, or relating to a precognitive event. Women who dream of their uncle might be connect to the inner masculine or the animus. An uncle that gives you money is a positive symbol of receiving traits, behaviors or energy that is valuable to you. Negative dreams emerge when the uncle is either sick or dying that suggests a part of you is dying off, aspects of your relationships, or family values.

We dream of extended family members like the aunt and uncle when we are transitioning away from the expectations or influences of the immediate family. The uncle can represent a new way of going out into the world to provide for ourselves. At the same time, the word 'uncle' is associated with giving in. We may be dreaming of the uncle as a way of combining the idea of making a change with recognizing that the old way was not feasible. See also Family.
