Uncle (ujak) in a dream
In folk lore, an uncle in a dream means protection, support and a firm bond with your mother's side of the family.
In Balkan tradition the ujak, your mother's brother, holds a special place: he is said to be a pillar and a protector for his sister's children. That is why a dream about him is read as the support you have in the family and a sign that you are not left to yourself. It is believed to announce good advice, help at the right hour or a merry gathering of relatives. A smiling uncle means good news, and a thoughtful one is just a reminder to call him and ask how he is.
