Can anyone help with this disturbing dream

[Sunshine8537]

In a nutshell, phone lights up with a message ‘you light up my life’ and a photo. When I opened the photo my female cousin had a knife to my mums throat. She killed her.
weirdly, I haven’t had contact with either for 3 years due to their toxicity and behaviour. Both are blocked on all social media etc.
My cousin was in my dream a couple of days again too. She was pregnant (first child at 46) and living in the place I lived with my mum growing up. I was aware that my mum wasn’t there but at that point I didn’t know where she was but I had a sense that she was isolated. So strange

Help?

just forget about it, it means squat all

Honestly, OP, it doesn’t ‘mean’ anything. Dreams are just jumbled up crap your brain puts together during sleep. I get that it was disturbing (I’ve had some real doozies in my dream life), but it’s not worth a second thought.

Your brain is just thinking / processing things from your life during that time. It isn’t a prophecy, or an indication that something will happen.

Just tonight I woke up a couple of times in a panic (heart racing and everything) as I thought someone was at my bed trying to kill me! Obviously nobody was there and it was a rude awakening imo, but I haven’t read too much in to it other than maybe I’m a little more stressed / sleep deprived in general.

Even though you have had no contact with your Mum and cousin for 3 years that doesn't mean to say they have totally disappeared from.your life. You will still retain thoughts of them at some level of your consciousness.

I would assume that subconsciously you are worried about how they are getting on in life and possibly assuming that something tragic might have happened to them.

I try to be no contact with my sister. I mange not to think.about her for periods of time and then I will find myself wondering how she's getting on. And it's quite remarkable that at the very time I'm wondering about her she sends me a message asking how I am. It's not telepathy or anything supernatural: it's just the way our minds work and we come into each others thoughts because we are aware there has been a long period of time since we communicated.

So basically I think your dream is just a manifestation of your troubled relationship with your relatives playing on your mind.

I believe there are two types of dreams.

The jumbled up dreams which generally don’t mean anything and don’t really have any emotions attached to them.

But other ones that come with some strong (mostly negative) emotions are your subconscious.

I think this one just means that these two toxic people in your life are taking up more head space than they should. Consider the emotion caused by the dream rather than the specific things that happened in the dreams.

I’ve had dreams where I’m angry with someone and I am trying to shout at them, but my voice won’t come out louder than a whisper. My interpretation is that I feel powerlessness in my relationship with them.
