Last night I had this horrible dream where in it, my mother had passed away. I wasn't sure why or how, I just knew that she was dead and that she was never coming back. This was the only dream I had all night, and it seemed to last for-ev-er. In the dream I could swear I felt the actual pain of knowing I could never talk, touch, or look at my mother again. In my dream I cried and screamed and felt very intense lonliness and heartache. At the end of my dream I burst, and I punched walls inside my house until I moved outside and broke fences. At the end of this, I was on the ground bawling my eyes out. Then I woke up.

When I woke up I could NOT stop crying. I woke up around 9:30, and immediately checked to see if my Mom was still in her room sleeping. She was (thank God). When she finally woke up (around 9:45) I got up and hugged the hell out of her, told her about my dream, and kept crying - which is especially weird for me since it takes something fierce for me to cry in the first place, nevermind in front of someone else (even my Mom).

Anyways, this dream just caught me completely off guard and was 'one of those' dreams that I'm sure will be with me for a long time. Even now (almost an hour and a half later) if I think about it too much I get teary eyed. *shudders* Man, I don't know what I'd do without my Mom...I'd fall apart without her.

((((hugs))))) So much to say about this! But I'll let others share that. imhpo the interpretation of a dream also comes from the source: you. I would follow up with your own admission: </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HereIAm}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I've had those dreams... and then it became reality. When it happens, Hun, you'll survive. (shudder!)

If you want, PM me and we'll talk. If I was you, and knowing what I know from experience, I'd hug your mom as much as you can while you can.

Your story has touched my heart. I'm very sensitive right now because I had two nightmares of my own.

I am so happy for you that you have a mom you are so connected with. What a great gift. Maybe it's a dream about telling you to soak her up while your together and to give her what you have to give as well. Lots of talks so someday when/if you are faced with the loss of your mom you have those talks to guide you. I am sorry the dream caused you so much pain, but alas it was only a dream and there you are with a loving mom sleeping in the next room. Peace to you.

I can imagine how disturbing a dream like that would be ! WHen I was doing my Internship at the local Psych Unit, I had the honor of working with a very well known Psychiatrist (who VA lost when he moved to TX much to our sorrow), and he did ALOT of work with Dream Interpretation. I had had a recurring dream since childhood, an unpleasant one that I thought made absolutely NO sense. I talked to him about it one day, and he gave me the interpretation. It made total sense after he told me ! And I have not had it since I might add ! :-) He told me that dreams are almost NEVER really about what they appear to be about. He held several seminars about dreams while I was Interning there, and I attended whenever possible . People would ask about a dream similar to yours, and he always asked a few questions, and would give them a totally different take on the dream that made sense to the person when explained. I would LOVE to be able to study more about it. I have rambled, but I don't think you need worry that your Mom is going to leave you because of that dream, I think something else is going on that just manifested itself that way to you thru your dreams.........altho I have no clue what it might be.

Hope you have a more restful night tonight !!

I have a question about a dream also. I have this dream that seems to be from when I was really little. The other person in the dream is like giant size. It only makes sense if I'm dreaming from a child's point of view, but I started dreaming it recently. Is it possible to dream something like that without it having a basis in reality? Can you make something up in your dreams from such a different time in your life? Anyone else have anything like this??
Thanks for any info.

Maybe your dream has given you the insight as to how important your mother really is in your life. My mother died 6 months ago & I have almost no good memories to look back on. This is your chance to understand how important it is to have those good memories that you can keep with you forever. It is also important to realize how important your mother is to you.

I'm sure there are many other possible interpretations but the most important one is what your mind sees & what your feelings are from the dream.....that is what you will end up with from the dream....not what others tell you to see from it.

I find that with most dreams I have....the interpretation is really the feelings & thoughts I come away with after the dream.

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.
