“Let it Be” and The Hidden Meaning of a Dream
One day Paul McCartney went to sleep and had a dream. In that dream his mother appeared to him just saying “Let it be”. She had died some years ago. Then he woke up and wrote down the song.
Since his mother’s death, Paul couldn’t recall her face so easily.
But in this dream some years later, her face appeared completely clear.
Sometimes when someone loses a loved one, they may experience a feeling of having been abandoned, and this may cause them to feel, on an unconscious level, angry with that loved one. Later, as time goes by, pain will come, indicating that the departure is being accepted.
We may then think that the difficulty experienced by Paul was actually the expression of that anger, that is, ultimately the difficulty of accepting her death. And later, when he had that dream where her face clearly appeared, that was the expression of his acceptance about her departure.
