About 3 weeks ago I had a dream where my father who is about to have his 6 year death anniversary, was performing and exorcism in the apartment my family and I currently live in (He never lived in this apartment) He had a bible and some holy water and was reading some prayer from the bible but I can't remember what it was, I remember I walked out of the apartment when things started to shake because I was scared. Then when I felt calm I walked back in to the apartment, my father started throwing holy water at me and started praying I started to feel sick like dizzy and felt to the ground. I remember that the holy water was burning my arm it looked like I had flames on my arm, then it look like they banish but I still had some burn marks on my arm and then I woke up.  Does any one know what this dream might mean? What interpretation there is to it?

Thanks in advance.

This is a pure symbolic interpretation, and how I would interprete it if I had dreamt it.

Symbolic messages in dreams often are about growth. A house - any house - is an alternative representation of you. A father in a dream stands symbolically for the part of you that is authoritive and protective.

Exorcisms are performed when people are said to be possessed by a spirit that makes them behave in a way they normally would not. Possessed people are then believed not to be responsible for their own actions, since it's not them doing it, but the spirit making them do it, nor do they even have control over their own bodies. So being exorcised would then indicate that you are liberated to have control and responsibility over your own life again.

Being sprinkled by holy water is a protective symbol, a blessing and also cleansing. So, combined with the exorcism would indicate that along with regaining control and responsibility, you also get a blessing, protection from harm and clensed from your faults of the past events. It's almost as if your father is saying, 'time to stand on your own 2 feet with my blessing" ?

You mention how the Holy Water burns your arms. Arms are what you use to reach out for someone, to care for someone, to hold them, to protect them ("arm yourself"). While fire may be a destructive force, I see it here as a clensing symbol too, especially one where you are being transformed.

Hope that helps

Sweetsunray,

That does make sense with everything that has been going on around me, I really appreciate your interpretation.

Thanks and blessings
