Why can’t I eat the food?
I was at this food court or something where you could cook. It didn’t seem very clean. I thought I saw mold on top of these walls that looked like cubicles on top of counters, but someone told me it was cotton candy because the counters had cotton candy dispensers, but I knew I saw people take popcorn from them. Although, I started to question if it was cotton candy. I remember walking along a wall with my dad and he was trying to have me hold his arm for support but I didn’t want to because it made me feel like a child. I think it stemmed from the way he wouldn’t let me be independent and use my walker when we went to his wife’s family’s houses this weekend or even let me use it independently without pushing it along for me, which doesn’t help me at all. Anyway, I was refusing to have him help me, and I actually notice I’m much more mobile in my dreams than in waking life. I think it’s a glimpse of my heaven, but my dad was trying to interfere, and it was pissing me off. Then I saw my aunt who is 70 but she looked like 10-15 years older and she’d let her dyed red hair go gray. I woke up from this dream wondering if I had glimpsed into the future. Then I saw her husband who was still his same age. He nicely offered me his arm instead of forcing it on me like my dad and I took it. Also, my mom pissed me off in my dream too because she wouldn’t let me eat the food that everyone prepared at this food court. They served some kind of chicken casserole, and I wanted some but my mom said no the chicken was cut too big, and I guess I wasn’t gonna be able to cut it up smaller. I was like then what am I gonna eat?? I was giving her attitude, and I saw my uncle next to me. I got embarrassed because he gave me this look like “you’re disrespecting your mother.” I quickly calmed myself in response and asked him “what would you recommend I eat?” And he happily and dramatically recommended two kinds of pizza, a cheese pizza and a white pizza with pepperoni bits. I saw like an ad for them when he said it of this woman dramatically displaying them with the tropical island behind her. I remember one of my exes being in the dream too. I wanted to catch up with him, but he was in my brother’s friend group and went off with them.

This dream appears to be showing your struggle with independence and autonomy. You are clearly frustrated with your dad, who represents authority, and your mom, who represents nurturance, for not allowing you to make your own decisions. Your aunt and uncle represent your parents in the future, showing that you may be worried about the consequences of having to rely on them as you age. The presence of your ex may also suggest a longing for a relationship in which you can be more independent and autonomous. The food court in the dream could be a metaphor for the choices you have in life and the fact that you are not allowed to eat the food could indicate that you feel like you are not being given the freedom to make your own decisions.
