This was a really horrible and graphic dream.

Please note trigger warning.........

The dream is somewhat hazy now but started in a communal bathroom type situation (I was at boarding school and the bathroom resembled that). I remember hearing a gun shot. I raced to the bath and my Mom was lying in the bath, there was blood everywhere. I remember that part clearly. Blood all over. I collapsed and my husband caught me. I was then injected with something. I then remember my Mother opening her eyes and me screaming that she wasn't dead.

Then I remember reading about her death in the newspaper. There was a picture of her lying dead on the front page of the newspaper (it wasn't actually her - but you know how dreams work). The eyes in the picture moved and looked at me and I again screamed out she wasn't dead.

I am not sure where this dream came from as though my mother is experiencing burn out and other issues, I do not believe she will kill herself. She made a very uncharacteristic comment the other day that she wishes she didn't have to wake up in the mornings. Perhaps this dream was related to that. My instinct is that she is depressed. Even if mildly so. She will never get help for it though. I will just have to ride the storm with her.

What a horrible dream though. I have been unable to shake some of the images off since.
