Lovingly
...I was walking down the road by Mom's house. Aunt Carol's people are there. (Again, I avoid my extended family just like I do in real life.) I was picking up stuff along the road when I found my old badge and then Mom's old phone, which was still fully charged. I was surprised at the stuff being there. I had knowledge... like I knew something the others didn't. I was very merry but the happiness didn't have anything to do with them. I was then with Aaron and Aurora, who was younger, nearby. It was like we were driving but I also had Aurora on my shoulders. She called "Hey!" to one of her friends and I was very proud that she wasn't embarrassed that she was lovingly hanging out with her family. She was very happy to wave to her friend and her friend was happy to wave back. The little friend was in the library so we stopped off there. There was some kind of read that they were doing for everybody. We didn't know this kid but they had some little candles at the table. I saw his flannel catch on fire and I had it out super fast. It was so fast that he didn't even see it but Aaron complimented me for being so quick...

This dream weaves together themes of connection, family dynamics, and personal insight in a gentle and reflective way. Walking by your mother’s house, with Aunt Carol’s family nearby, may symbolize your feelings about extending your own family ties—noticeably choosing some distance, as in waking life. Finding your old badge and your mom’s charged phone along the road can represent rediscovering parts of your identity or memories that still hold vitality and meaning for you, even if unexpected.

This might point to your personal growth or a self-contained source of happiness that isn’t dependent on family interactions. Being with Aaron and a younger Aurora, sharing a moment of pride as she openly enjoys family connections without embarrassment, speaks to nurturing relationships and the freedom to be authentic with loved ones. The friendly waves between Aurora and her friend invite a sense of belonging and acceptance beyond immediate family. Stopping at the library, a symbol often linked to learning and shared knowledge, aligns with themes of growth and community. The scene with the lit candles and the quick action to extinguish the flare-up on the flannel brings in a hopeful element of attentiveness and protectiveness.
