Grandparents

Meeting and talking with grandparents often touches inherited wisdom faced against present difficulty — barriers that good counsel can help you surmount. The dream may ask what hard obstacle stands before you, what guidance from those who came before might steady you, and whether you'll follow advice old enough to have been tested.

Miller 1901
