One night, while asleep, the Buddha's Mother, Queen Maya, had a dream that she was being carried away by four devas to Lake Anotatta, which is in the Himalayas. After bathing her in the lake, the devas clothed her, anointed her with perfumes, and flowers. Soon after a white elephant, holding a white lotus flower in its trunk, appeared and went round her three times, entering her womb through her right side. When the queen awoke she knew she had been delivered an important message, as the elephant is a symbol of greatness. According to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha-to-be was residing as a Bodhisattva, in the Tusita heaven, and decided to take the shape of a white elephant to be reborn on Earth for the last time.

Why did your ex mother appear in your dream?

The question is not clear, since it is impossible to have an "ex-mother." You might have a former mother-in-law, who is the mother of your ex-wife, or you might have a "late mother," meaning that your mother is deceased. You also might have a former step-mother, who is an ex-wife of your father. In any of these situations, the meaning of the dream would depend on what happens in the dream, the feelings you experience in the dream, and what, if anything, you and the "mother" say or do in the dream.

Your mother's mother is your grandmother. Her husband is your grandfather or a person unrelated to you who married your grandmother either before or after your mother was born. If her husband is not related to you his son may be your mother's half-brother or may be unrelated. If unrelated the son's son's sister is also unrelated to you. If your mother's half-brother, then the son's son and his sister are your second cousins.
