Thank you everyone; I appreciate your insight!

And yes, you all are very very right when you say that I have a special connection or good relationship with my mother. I can recall times where she (without her knowing) was my only strength and reason to stick around. She's the greatest in every way possible. I love her to death and show her that as much as I possibly can, since I already feared losing her before that dream.

I do think maybe that dream was fueled by some outside forces though. My Grandmother died in June, and I've been thinking a lot about death and what it would be like since I had never really experienced it first hand like that before. Then I began to wonder what I'd do if a family member died (immediate family), then I began to wonder what I'd do if my Mom died. Like I said, I'd fall apart. The pain in the dream seemed so real, and so horrible. I could literally feel it. I didn't like that at all...I keep telling my Mom after she woke up that she can't die on me till I'm old and grey.

Hm. Anyway, thanks again everyone.
