I had a nightmare the day my mum died. She picked me and my brother up in a car and convinced me to leave Dd behind and go with her. I could see 2 yo Dd stood at the side of the road in the dark as we drove away. I kept asking my mum to stop but she wouldn't but I eventually jumped out of the car and got back to Dd and then the car drove off.
Last night I had an even more awful one. My mum came back alive but she was not her, she was really evil looking and nasty to me. She was horrible to me telling me she wanted to see Dd and that she was going to take her away from me. No one would listen to me when I kept saying she was dead and shouldn't be back alive. As the dream went on she got more and more nasty and kept shouting on my face and she also got skinnier and skinnier eventually looking like a skeleton.
It was awful and it has really upset me. I have felt anxious and worried about it all day. It sounds so silly but I feel like she hates me and is upset at how I am grieving because I am coping fairly well at the moment. I think it's because everyone keeps telling me I am grieving wrong (because I'm not crying) and I feel so guilty for it.
I know dreams are common about lost loved ones and usually don't mean anything but are nightmares common also?
