Last night I dreamt that we had moved house (not unusual for me - I've moved 17 times since leaving home) however I dreamt that we had moved to Adelaide (that is not likely to happen) and my family was there. They were helping us to unpack and get settled. The house wasn't particularly nice - not something we would usually live in - and the family was acting like family...
That is the unusual part of the dream. My family fell apart years ago, they abandoned my sister and left us in an unsafe place, with out even calling once in a while to check on us.
My interpretation: Before bed last night I was asking myself why it bothers me so much to see people who never leave their home town (or home). People who move out of mum and dad's house, move in with their boyfriend get married have kids and never achieve anything else. I am going to write a blog entry exploring the frustration...
So my cousin is one of those people, and so are a lot of my family members, they all live in Adelaide near each other and they have never thought about moving on or finding something else in life. I think the dream was probably brought on by my train of thought before bed, along with the belief that if I had stayed near them geographically, then they would have made an effort to be a family.

To see your own family in your dream, represents security, warmth and love. It could also symbolize bitterness, jealousy, or rivalry, depending on your relationship with your family. Alternatively, it could mean that you are overly dependent on your family, especially if the family members are in your recurring dreams .Consider also the significance of a particular family member or the relationship you have with them.
Well I am not dependant on my family. I don't feel warmth or security from them (in my own home everything is great - this is just in relation to my extended family).
Perhaps it means rivalry. The cousin who was the main character in my dream, is the cousin I use to look up and want to be like. However over the last few years the respect I once had for her has diminished.
