I dreamt that I was at my mother's house. we were outside and she seemed a little grumpy. She pointed at a light purple flower and said that was her, and then pointed towards a silver shiny flower and said that was me. She said it angrily. She said that I came from her and that we have smiliarities. what does this dream mean?

The flowers and the colors of these flowers symbolize good things, so that suggests you like yourself and your mother. But since she said it angrily, I think it's that you see similarities between you and your mother that you don't like, even though you may see her as a beautiful person (as suggested by you representing her as a flower). You must remember it's not truly your mother, it's your mind making these pictures, these are all your representations.

Maybe you are the same kind of flowers but different color.. (thats where the simalarities come in) The anger might be because you haven't lived up to your moms expectations.. Which you shouldn't have to because you are an individual.. Have you sat down and talked to your mom about this dream?? It would help clear the air..
Thanks for this!

At first I thought this dream meant that my mom was jealous of me and that my soul was more perfect than her's. But I think it makes better sense that I ahve not lived up to her expectations....or there are some traits between her and I that we share that I dislike.

My mom wanted my sister to be like her but my sister said she enver wanted to be like my mom.

I told this to my mom once as well...she is a good woman and works hard...but there are also traits i dislike, like her being judgemental, cold and anti-social.
I am not those things...I'm loving with my bf and I'm friendly with everyone I meet...I'm not judgemental with people...I get a long with most pepoe...I'm curious about different lifestyles and such...my mom would see this as a abd thing

I also went to get my education and ahve gone farther than she has and I work at the same time-she's told me before that she was jealous of me...sometimes I feel I don't ahve her support...and sometimes I feel she acts immature

I think you may have had recent experiences where you were reminded of your mother's traits you don't like and either were thinking you don't have/want those traits or were worried that you do. That or you could have had the opposite thought/experience where you saw some of your mother in someone's/your own good traits and were afraid that meant you had her bad ones also or in some other way you wanted to deny "being like your mother".

Lots of traits are inherited and/or learned but none "belongs" to a specific person. You cannot turn into your mother, but you also are like your mother because you are of her flesh and blood. It's hard learning how one fits in the world and who one "is" and our dreams are there to help us stay balanced. Usually dreams like yours are to "remind" you that the opposite of whatever you were feeling is just as true, so you "balance". You might have been feeling really independent or "superior" in some way, overly proud of yourself and thinking you had done something all by yourself but that's never really the case; there are no self-made people, we constantly have influences and helps from our background and current experiences. Being overly/underly proud or self-satisfied will get us a dream in the "opposite" direction to keep us whole and balanced. That's a dream's job!

Maybe your mom was upset that you were shiny. While purple is a beautiful color, shiny silver is more noticeable and attractive in the eyes of most people....
Do you have any psychological issues the family knows about? If you get attention or special treatment due to it perhaps your mom is jelous of the attention you get, or that you feel she feels you should be like her and perhaps not like how you are.. which might be about the psychological problems.

If my mom knew how my mind worked I think she would be mad that I wasn't normal like her...

Just what I happened to interpret, I am no expert so don't take what I say too seriously!

Hope this helps broaden the view though , good luck!
