Each paragraph unfolds a distinct scene, state, or shade of meaning. Read them in sequence so the interpretations stay clear.
If you dream of your parents still alive, such a dream indicates that you have an Oedipus complex (for women, the Antigone complex). At the same time, you tend to blame your failures and troubles in your intimate life on anyone but yourself.
Deceased parents symbolize your regrets about lost opportunities and memories of past successes.
If you dreamed that your parents died (and they are alive) - perhaps you really subconsciously wish them dead, because they prevent you (or prevented) from fulfilling your wishes.
