Horrible dream

I had a horrible dream last night that my DS died. It was absolutely horrific. I was at work and my DH called me to say my son had suddenly died and the horror I felt in my dream felt so real. I woke up crying and had to go and check him. I went back to sleep and my dream continued which is strange. And it was replaying the same scenario over and over again. Then In my dream he was revived and it was all a big mistake hospital error that he had been declared dead? I'm a wreck today. Anyone else get vivid horrible dreams??? I can't get it off my mind. I feel fearful and upset. I don't tend to have vivid dreams and usually I can't remember them!

I have very vivid dreams. They often involve people comping after me that want to kill me and I have to outwit them to get away or turn the tables and attack them.
This is very far removed from my life!

I also had a very realistic dream when my son was small that we were out walking and he had run ahead and I came across him on his back completely submerged underwater and dead from drowning in a deep puddle that looked more like a pond.

It was so realistic that when I woke I actually believed it had happened for a good ten minutes or more before he casually sauntered into my room and said good morning mummy!

Your dream is not an omen, it's unravelling all the millions of thoughts in your head and often replays your greatest fears such as the loss of a darling child, pet or partner.

I've also had a splendid dream where I won a competition where they closed a Boots store to the public and I had a slow version of supermarket sweep where I could fill a trolley with as many things as I liked.

The next morning I went to use some of the products and discovered I hadn't won!

I have very vivid dreams. When mine were small and I was sleep deprived I often dreamt that I’d had twins, but had only been looking after one of them. I’d find the other in the airing cupboard or the garage or somewhere.

Having lost my beloved DH, I often now dream that he’s come back, but we are on the run, because if anyone else finds out he’s not really dead I’ll lose him all over again.

i think it’s just your mind dealing with all the thoughts that you push to the background during your busy days.
