Hey wisdomseeker12, I assume you perhaps see your grandfather as somebody successful, and perhaps not financially but in some other way. This definitely sounds like the type of dream revealing a fear to you that you carry. It sounds like you hold a fear that despite the great models for success in front you of, you may not be able to hold onto success yourself, and can't find the "help" that you think you need to be successful. It sounds like perhaps you are too involved in the idea of somebody else's success, and this is why you fear the inability to hold onto it. You really have to build success your own way, rather than worrying about the models. You were trying very hard to take hold of your grandfather's beetles, and merely made a mess of it. Your grandmother was not impressed--you fear not being able to live up to your ancestors, and worry what they would think of you for not being able to do what they have done.

You may also be feeling a little in the dark as to how people around you, or that came before you were able to be successful, lucky, and with so much support behind them--thus the "secrets". Also, your grandfather's lighthearted laughter, and the fact that these magical creatures bring and provide him with his fortunes shows that you feel they gained success without struggle. It just seems to have appeared to them to you.

So, it seems to me that this dream would reveal it is time for you to start digging around for your own secrets to success. Let go of this other worry you have attached to your ancestors' success, and find your own creative path to it.

This dream is not necessarily about the specific people present to the dream, but here is something you could try: You might want to have a talk with your grandparents about their life stories--find out what you feel makes them specifically successful, and ask how they gained it. Perhaps it might reveal that these things were not acquired so easily afterall.
