I'm a fan of Carl Jung, who said dreams are the symbolic language of the unconscious. I've done a bunch of work with dreams, and whenever one has a lot of juice to it, it's talking about something serious. This may have little to do with your actual aunt, but it might have a lot to do with the role she plays in your life.

I did a lot of my dream work when I was in therapy, and when you get into some charged issues it helps to have a more objective viewpoint around. But regardless, the dreamer is the one mostly responsible for figuring out what the dream is getting at. Dreams compensate for the blind spots of our conscious mind.
