Dream

[tsurandy]

I have been having a recurring dream that we are preparing for my Mama's funeral and everyone is arriving, but she is not dead, but she has to be buried. I am not understanding the dream at all.  Is it a message that she lives on in me, but that I need to let go?  I am very disturbed by the dream.

Hi Randall,
I have them all the time, I dream that Johnny is alive and my oldest daughter is a baby and my two other children are not born. Its crazy what your subconcious tells you. I think you have the right idea in what you think, but who knows right? I just love when I can have a dream where I can see them. I havent seen my mother in a dream and I think its because she was 84 and ready to go and I know how badly she wanted to be with my father and I knew he was waiting for her. But I would love to see her in a dream. Dreams are wacky though, enjoy them when there not scary.

all the best, georgia.

Maybe it is that she will always be with you in spirit even though her body is gone...I think that sometimes we dream about a literal body but the meaning of the dream is something more spiritual.

Several of my family members had very odd dreams after my grandfather died suddenly, but over the years they have become more comforting and less of a mystery. I have been told that dreams can be our way of trying to work through our sorrow at a significant loss.

Dear Randall;
I am sorry for the pain of a recurring dream like this. I hope you will find peace soon and your sleep will be restful. I have not had a single dream of any kind since losing Mike and I am actually grateful for that. Getting decent rest has been hard enough for me ( I wake up and cry and can't fall back to sleep- it is improving alot now). I do not know what it means but I think you have a good iea of the letting go, maybe the acceptance of the truth of this, the loss is real. I know we are in a similiar time frame and I am very sad as this seems to be the time to realize that it did happen, that part of my life has completely changed. You have also had your life change so much from what you had planned. Hope your business is doing ok and the house. Thinking of you and hoping you have dreams full of the love you shared with your Mom.

Dear Randall:

I can understand such a dream would be disturbing, but then dreams often tend not to make much (evident) sense. 
To echo Terri, I do hope your sleep becomes restful and that the dreams become more and more peaceful.

All the best
Seven

that does sound like a disturbing dream.

i believe we have both inside and outside dreams, sometimes it's hard figuring out which kind you're having.

but i do hope that this dream will go away. or you can come to understand it. but certainly i hope you get some much nicer ones...

Thanks to each of you, I have been sleeping better, and the dream has stopped (at least for now), I guess no one really understands the dreams we have!  I am grateful I have you guys for support.
