Okay Seer, thank you for your answer! I asked you those questions because I wanted to test a hypothesis with it, but you shattered / ripped my hypothesis by answering more than positively: you had a family with 4 children and 1 grandchild. I think there is indeed something strange going on here: "Unbelievebale Dream".
I have to try a different approach. I believe we can solve the cause of this mystery together!
The only negative here is apparently that you lost your beloved wife, In Your Eyes, way too early. You are 80 and say that you have been happily married for thirty years together. Assuming you were between 20 and 25 years old when you got married, you must have been married around 1970. Your wife must have died around the year 2000. You have to live without her for about 26 years now.
In general, when someone is in a (happy) relationship, his partner represents his or her Soul. But when that partner has died, I have noticed that this only happens in exceptional cases: the one must be almost a saint, a very devout believer. Because since the person died, he represents a dead soul: Death. You live ..., with a living Soul and He / She, who composes the dreams, does not just want to be represented by a late person.
I assume you don't have a new partner or she would symbolize your soul. I have seen in the past that your parents are more likely to have a chance to fulfill that role, because they played that role from birth to the transition from adolescent to adulthood. See the dream of Mickz:

Thus the only negative thing about your situation described above is that you had to give your wife back to Mother Earth far too early: maybe that is your reproach against Mother Earth: that when you look back musing and think about your wife and look around you, .... to your family and to your friends, you blame Her, Mother Earth, Mom (which your mother may symbolize), that She had done you wrong compared to your 'brothers', from the human family. Mother Earth has discriminated against you : "Why taking her away from me, Why are they still together even after 26 years later? ????!!!!!
