What does it mean when you dream your holding hands with your father?

When you dream of a dead loved one there with you talking to you or holding your hand, means they are there watching over you

The meaning of this particular dream lies in the emotional tone. A contented, peaceful dream could express reassurance that your father's spirit or memory is always there with you to comfort and guide you. But a troubled, anxious dream could mean that the memory of your father, or his strict enforcement of tradition or perhaps your prolonged grief is holding you "tight" in the sense of not letting you get on with your own life.
