Mother figures in dreams represent nurturing, unconditional love, protection, and the fundamental relationship template we carry through life. A positive mother dream may indicate self-care needs, while a threatening mother might represent smothering behavior or unresolved maternal issues. The 'Great Mother' archetype encompasses both creative and destructive feminine energy.
