Aunt
An aunt in a dream often stands for family judgement — affection mixed with the sting of correction. To see her can mark sharp censure for something done, and the distress of being found wanting by one's own. The dream tends to ask whose approval we feel measured against, and where we fear falling short.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for aunt, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a young woman to dream of seeing her aunt, denotes she will receive sharp censure for some action, which will cause her much distress.
If this relative appears smiling and happy, slight difference will soon give way to pleasure.
