It may also be seen as a wish for wisdom or permission from family. (In folk dream interpretations, conversations with ancestors or family members who have passed on have often been read as symbols of advice and relationships.)

Through the mind: You may be facing a decision—changing jobs, dating, getting married, or moving—and worrying about how your family will react. You may also want the reassurance of borrowing someone else’s standards instead of deciding entirely on your own.
