Anonymous,
Thanks for your response. It verifies what I saw in this short dream and offers more insights to how dreams function. I ask for a response to my analysis/interpretations specially for this reason, to demonstrate how dreams use symbolic images as metaphors to the emotional energies of the dreamer. All dreams are tools for learning more about the unconscious stimuli/motivators. Every dream has a message {usually two or more} and because of the insights of Jungian psyche we can translate the images/symbols and understand what the messages are. Dreams are no longer the great mystery they once were because of Jung's efforts.

About Your Dream
Your dream spoke to exactly what you provided about your life, aspects related to those people who should/could have offered more emotional support when you were young as well as what the emotional issues were/are. When known persons are imaged in a dream, especially relatives, the relationship with them is often the focus of the dream. But their presence points toward emotional energies within you they represent as well as the relationship itself {known persons who are not relatives or who are extremely close usually point to traits they possess you identify with and not so much the relationship with them}. Your grandfather's hospice care denoted your own need for emotional urgent care {"so I was there too"} which you failed to receive from your father {"I kept trying to tell my father, but he seemed to be ignoring me for some reason"} as well as others. This made you feel less than you should have been and personality wise likely remains an issue, an issue as a result to being 'ignored' {"She/cousin called me an oaf}. The actions in the dream presented a recognizable pattern once the images/symbols were interpreted and understood. A trained dream analyst {using Jungian psyche} will be able to interpret the images/symbols and will recognize the patterns, metaphorical references to the dreamer's emotional life. Your dream was clear in its message {at least in my mind} and your response verifies the analysis.
