Grandfather in a dream
A grandfather in a dream is read in folk tradition as wisdom, experience and calm advice that helps you decide.
In folk tradition the grandfather is the head of the house and the keeper of stories, so a dream about him is tied to experience and level-headed advice. Dream books say he appears when you stand before a choice and need someone who has seen a great deal. His words in the dream are worth remembering, and his smile is taken as confirmation that you are on a good path. The dream warms you and gives a sense of safety, like a pat on the shoulder from someone older.
