Well, I could try to help with your dream, but it really depends on your current circumstances. Without knowing what's going on in your life, I can only give an example of what this could mean, or what it would mean for me.

For me, dreams about the loss of a loved one usually represent a change in my life that I can't stop from happening. If there is a fight in the dream, this could represent a hope for stopping the change from happening though, but at a cost. If my mother killed my girlfriend's mother it would be a pretty terrible thing. It would end my relationship with the daughter. Maybe you can stop the change, but that would have consequences for you. Blood and gore in my dreams usually represents cost. The more gore, the higher the cost. So if this were my dream, seeing all that gore would represent the cost of accepting the change. Either way it works out, there will be consequences, but maybe the unconscious is trying to say that the consequences of accepting the change are higher than those of fighting the change.

In my dreams, I think a dishwasher would represent cleansing. Perhaps this change would clean up my life, but at a high cost. Maybe I will lose many of my friends because of a change going on in my life, like becoming more mature, graduating from college, or stepping away from the party scene I've been involved in for a long time.

For me, I this dream would say a lot of things. There is change going on in my life. The consequences of this change will be very costly to me, but fighting the change also has it's cost. The change will be better for me in the end though, because it will help me to clean up my act, and become a mature, responsible adult.


I'll aso paste here an answer I have given before when other people have had questions about dreams.

I'm a senior psychology major at my university, and I've done a lot of research on dream interpretation, and presented this research to one of my 400 level psych courses. I actually taught the class some techniques for dream interpretation. First off, many books claim to have definitive answers to what certain symbols or themes mean. These can be helpful in a limited way because they are actually just common meanings, and may not be exactly right for you. They can be helpful because they give you an idea of the way our dreams try to communicate with us.

I believe that dreams are the language of the unconscious. The unconscious does not use words to communicate, but instead uses symbols, themes, and characters to represent things, and everyone’s unconscious has a different idea of what these things may mean.

I'll give you a technique that many psychologists use to help people figure out just what their unconscious is trying to communicate to them. First, write down everything you can remember about your dream. It may be helpful to keep a dream journal and record what you remember just after having the dream, while it is still fresh in your memory. The next step is to do some free association with things from your dreams.

You want to write down all the symbols, themes, and characters from your dream on one side of a piece of paper. Now take each one of these things individually and just write down everything you associate with that thing. If your father appears in a dream, write down everything that comes to mind when you think of him. For me, I would write something like this:

Father Controlling
Confident
Mean
Strong
Anger

You want to go as far as you can with your free associations. You should write down everything that easily comes to mind about whatever the theme, symbol or character is. You should also do some free association with the things you write down. For me, I may have a boss at work who is also controlling, mean and confident, so I would also write down Boss in the right hand column of my paper.

You do this for everything you can remember about the dream, and then you want to pick out things from the right hand column to create a narrative. It can take a long time and be hard work, but if you do it a few times, you will learn the language of your unconscious, and begin to understand how it's communicating with you. Usually your unconscious has put things together that you may not even realize. You may be in a relationship where your boyfriend is similar to your father, but you don't even realize this until you have a really strange dream that your father is in, and he may actually be in it to represent your boyfriend. A dream may be actually telling you about someone other than the characters in it, using those characters to represent them.

Just as an example, I'll use a common dream many people have.
Lets say you are having repeated dreams about losing your teeth. I have had this dream many times recently. In the dream, your teeth begin to fall out, and your mouth is a bloody mess. You're terrified by what is happening to you, but you have no way to stop it. You wake up in a cold sweat, feeling your teeth to make sure that they are still there.

By looking at my current circumstances, and examining what happened in the dream, I can easily tell you what the dream is really about: change. The loss of my teeth represents change that I can't stop. I'm about to graduate from college. I'm also leaving many of my friends that I used to party with in order to lead a more responsible life. The blood that I see so vividly in the dream represents consequences (as blood many times represents in a lot of people's dreams). I am losing my current identity and taking on another one, a more responsible one. I will lose many friends, and my social status on campus soon because I am graduating and changing my lifestyle. I can't really stop this from happening because it is necessary for me to really grow up and become an adult. I am terrified in the dream, and this represents the anxiety and stress I feel at all these changes, and just like my teeth falling out, I can't change it.

So my dream about losing my teeth is really a my unconscious working on lifestyle change. Other dreams about change may have themes like the death of a loved one, or a permanent injury,

No one can truly decipher your dreams but you, but someone who knows about how dreams work can help you to realize what your dreams may mean to you. You really just need to think about what bits and pieces of your dreams may mean when taken out of context.

If you want to share your dream with me, and maybe some of the things that are going on in your life, I can try to help, but you will probably begin to realize what your dream means just by telling me these things.

well, based on mid-eastern cultures, this is what your dream means:
your mom's 'death' is a sign of change. there will be a great change - and for the better, as death is a rebirth- in your life. Since your boyfriend's family was also there, it may be that the change will effect him in some way as well. Bones are VERY positive, as they represent income or anything that is given to one which will allow one to grow in some way (financially or spiritually). If there were meat on the bones, then that means money will be coming (which means that the 'change' is financial), if the bones were bare that means an action which will benefit others in a great way (perhaps the change will be emotional/spiritual). Dishwasher (was there actual water?) represents water, a very good omen in a dream. It means clearance of path, of vision, of problems.
If you cried in your dreams, that is also a good omen, meaning you will be celebrating something, happy news.

Well, i don't know anything about holding your moms bones, but i know from small that when you dream a person is dead, it's more health for that person. Say a prayer before you go to bed to have better dreams...Good luck

well...i guess u dint want ur mom to end up fightin wit ur bf's mom..so the rest happened as a result of ur mind tryin to stop ur mom from fightin n puttin u n herself in a very embarrassing situation. but obviously after wat happened u were really shattered...meanin the loss of a parent aint an easy blow to handle...so u were feelin upset about it.
take a look on ur relationship...see if everything is fine between the families..sometimes a sub conscious feelin that the families might not gel together causes such kind of out bursts...clear out misunderstandings if any...and know one more thing...all the fingers of a hand are not equal..except everyone the way they r..cause all r important in their own way..
hope this helps.

if you have a dream that somebody dies it means that you have extended thier life. but if you have a dream that someone who is sead dies it has a compleatly different meaning. dont worry your mom will be fine. If you ever have a dream that your teeth fall out it means someone will die. if it hurts really bad someone you love. if there is no pain then you will hear that someone died, or someone you dont care about will die. for 1 week before my mum died i dreamed of my teeth falling out (my teeth were huge) and it hurt like hell, so i know for a fact that only worry if you dream your teeth fall out, or if a black crow taps on your window (but not in your dream).
