Meaning of Dreams: Words beginning with B

Brother

Feelings of your family in general and your relationship with your brother in your waking life will have the biggest impact on what this dream actually means. In many cases, seeing your brother in a dream represents the memories and feelings you have for your brother and how you may have felt about yourself or your family when you were at their age, but this is more common in a man’s dream than in a woman’s. This can also symbolize parts of your own personality that you see reflected in the way that your brother acts.

Woman’s Younger Brother

Seeing a younger brother in a dream can represent the parts of your personality that may seem more energetic or rebellious.

Man’s Younger Brother

When a man sees his younger brother in a dream, it is more likely to represent his feelings when he was his brother’s age in the dream. This could show current feelings of vulnerability.

Older Brother

Seeing an older brother, no matter your gender represents feelings of strength and authority.

The mood of the Dream

If your brother is having a good time in your dream, this can predict that good things will come your way and show that you are generally happy with your current family situation. However, if your brother is in distress in your dream, then this is not a good sign and predicts that distress will enter your life as well.

See Boy* or Family* for further dream symbolism.

Brother-in-Law

The meaning of seeing your brother-in-law in a dream depends a lot on how you feel about him.

If the mood of the dream is bad, or if you do not like your brother-in-law, then this shows that there are qualities that he has that you do not like and that you fear will be added into your own personality.
