Old Paternal grandfather in dreams

The father's father — the older male figure standing two generations behind on the paternal side.

How old changes the reading

In its old form, the symbol carries long history — accumulated knowledge, accumulated weight, and the kind of presence that does not need to assert itself. Old versions of symbols in dreams are often offering you a sentence you needed to hear from someone who has seen many cycles.

The base reading of Paternal grandfather

A paternal grandfather in a dream is the dream's image of an older male figure standing two generations behind on the father's side. The figure carries the weight of where the paternal line came from — the work, the habits, the temperament that arrived through that side and that the father in turn handed on. The dream brings the paternal grandfather when something in you that is older than your father — a stance, a stubbornness, a craft — is making itself felt. A paternal grandfather speaking is the dream telling you the older male voice in you is currently relevant. A paternal grandfather absent is the dream noting that the source the father drew from is itself missing from your sense of where you came from.
