I was in a Mexican cenotè type area with sunlight shining through the hole in the ceiling onto a smooth, raised rock area in the middle with hundreds of books piled up everywhere. The books were blank but opened like someone had been reading them trying to find something. It felt cold and damp. My recently deceased father in law came out of a door shaped hole in the side of the cave looking disheveled and upset like he hadn’t slept in days. He saw me and came running up to me and was asking if everyone in our family was ok and how everyone was doing. He acted like he was trying to read the books to either get to our family or find out if we were all ok. I reassured him and let him know everyone was ok and he calmed down and seemed like that was the answer he needed to move on.
This dream could be a reflection of your subconscious processing the emotions and thoughts surrounding the recent passing of your father-in-law. The Mexican cenote setting may represent a deep, hidden aspect of your psyche or emotions that are now coming to light. The sunlight shining through the hole in the ceiling could symbolize hope, clarity, or a guiding light amidst the darkness and confusion.
The stack of blank books may suggest the unfinished business or unresolved feelings you have about your father-in-law's passing. The act of someone trying to read the books could indicate a search for answers or understanding in the face of loss. The cold and damp atmosphere may represent feelings of grief, sadness, or uncertainty.
Your father-in-law appearing disheveled and upset, with his focus on the well-being of your family, could indicate his lingering concerns or worries about those he left behind. Your interaction with him, reassuring him that everyone is okay, could symbolize a form of closure or peace for both him and yourself in the dream.
Overall, this dream may be a way for your subconscious to process and come to terms with your emotions surrounding the loss of your father-in-law, providing you with a sense of comfort or closure in acknowledging that he is at peace and that your family is okay.
