Dreaming of A Mother Who Has Passed Away
Below is a dream that was recently left on the blog to be analyzed and interpreted. I felt many others could benefit from the dream, so I’m sharing it below.
Hello my name is Delandra and I am 25 Years old I recently lost my mother and I am now beginning to have dreams of her dieing again .Some of the things in my dream are kinda weird. There is one dream that I had where I was fussing wit my uncle about something and he follows me into the house and I end up underneath him and he place a gun in my chest and begins to pull the trigger but while i’m screaming for help the bullets are just blanks and then i’m where someone gets a phone call from my grandmother telling them that my mother is dead and i begin to scream and cry and I wake u wit tears in my eyes as if i am crying but i really was crying. Can u explain this to me please?
First of all, I’m terribly, terribly sorry about your mother. 25 is unbelievably young to lose a parent. I’m profoundly sorry and hope you have a good number of people around you to help with the months and even years ahead. As someone who has walked the dark road you’re now facing, I can tell you that you have to take your time and heal – give yourself patience and time. You can’t lose someone you had your whole life and not feel the loss for a very, very long time.
During such a horrible lose, our brains (understandably) have a difficult time processing and making sense out of what has happened. How do you make peace with something so outrageously unfair and heartbreaking? During the day, while we’re in the grieving process, we often “busy” our minds. It’s a coping strategy and one that everyone recommends…. “Keep busy” – how many times do we hear that?
We do the best we can to keep our mind occupied while we’re awake, but when we’re asleep, the mind tries to make sense of the loss the best it can. It’s extremely common to dream about people we have lost, especially in the first weeks and months after the loss. When the loss hits particularly close to home, we often think about our own death. This explains your dream. While your mind is trying to wrap itself around your horrible loss, it’s also sorting out fears you may have about your own mortality.
Take very good care of yourself during the coming months and get plenty of rest. Your dreams will be a better place to be very soon. Again, I’m very sorry for your loss.

My mother passed away almost 7 years ago. Even though we had our ups and downs, we were fine when she died. She left myself and my children a sizeable estate which my brother has robbed and we are still fighting for. Things have been very hard for us lately financially and we are struggling alot. Today is my oldest son 21st birthday and he was adored by his grandmother. I had a dream that my mother was choking me and putting her hand over my mouth so I would not scream. I have never had a bad dream about her. I am thinking she is mad with me??

I keep having dreams that my mother died or that my oldest sister would pretend that she died. My mother is living but in the past year I had a falling out with both my sister and my mom because of a jealousy of my wife. I tried to reconcile with them both but they want no part. What is my dreams telling me.

L LOST MY DAD, 8 MONTHS AGO. I WAS SO SAD, CRYING EVERY DAY UNTIL ONE DAY I ASKED GOD I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW MY FATHERS DOING. TO SEE HIM FOR THE LAST TIME, TO HEAR HIM. AND MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED, MY FATHER CAME TO ME IN A DREAM, HE SAID MY NAME, AND SAID AM HERE IN INDIA, IN A APARTHEID, I WAS ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM, I REPLIED WHERE? HE SAID HERE, IN INDIA, AND HE OPEN HIS ARMS AND SAID IN A APARTHEID. I SAID WHAT IS THAT? HE CONTINUE SAYING NOW THIS TIME SLOWLY SO I WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HE SAID A PART HEID, THEN HE LEFT. I WAS HAPPY TO SEE MY DAD HE WAS HAPPY TO. AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE HINDU PEOPLE IN TWO LANES, LIKE TRYING TO BUY TICKETS, ALL I KNOW THAT SINCE THAT DREAM I AM IN PEACE IN COMFORT AND NO MORE TEARS, THANK THE LORD,

Last night I had another dream about my mother that passed away almost three years ago. My dream seemed to be in two parts. In the first part of my dream me and her were lying in bed sleeping and then the dream skipped to where I had just got home and my dad had told me that she was about to pass(which is similar to what really happened) anyways, I remember that in my dream he was of course sad that she was about to pass and for some reason I had peace about it(which was significant for me). I remember telling him that we needed to let her go in peace. I remember going to her room and looking down at her and she gave me a smile that let me know that she was ok. I also kissed her on her forehead and was basically comforting her as she was passing. I noticed that in the dream her right eye was white which I would like to know the significance of this because this is not the first time that I have noticed that one of her eyes were different in a dream. I also remember waking up from this dream and my body was literally tingling which has happened in another instance when I dreamed of her. Can somebody interpret this for me please.

i have had something quite similar. my dad passed away on the 11th of december 2009. the night before he died, we diddnt so much have an argument, but words. this was the last time we ever spoke, a few week maybe months after, i had a dream where i knew my dad had died, but he was sat in our kitchen, doing his usual thing, sat having a bru and a rollup. i got up out of bed and went into the kitchen, knowing he was dead but not alarmed that he was there, (not sure why). i gave him a big cuddle and a kiss, i told him i loved him and he said the same, then i told him i was going back to bed, i went back to bed then woke up from my dream. for my own reasons i think this was my dad telling me to not to worry and he knows i was sorry. it definatly put my mind at rest. i think this site is brilliant by the way.

I need help with a dream I had a last week. It has me a little worried, anyways my mother passed away 2/07/2014 from a heart attack and pnemounia. I am 25 almost 26 It was very sudden and left everyone broken and very sad. Last week I had a dream and my mom was there she was telling me that I needed to be with her on 1/21/15 and that it was very important that I go because she is planning a reunion and i have to be with her no exceptions allowed. Is it possible that she is trying to warn me about something bad that will happen to myself on that date?
