Dreaming about death

[YouMeAndRThree]

Hi I’m not sure what I’m expecting to get out of this, maybe hoping I’ll just feel better after typing it out.

i lost my mum recently to cancer, I feel like I have been pushing my emotions away and avoiding grieving. I’m letting anything distract me, kids, housework, the gym etc.

last night I had the most realistic dream. I dreamt that I had died, I was in the same
room as a lot of my family members and none of them could see or hear me until my niece and daughter came in. They then were passing on messages to the family from me. This was all okay until I realised I couldn’t speak directly to my sister, then it really hit. I can’t get this out of my head now that my mums in the same
room as me and talking to me but I can’t hear her.

Anyway I know dreams can mean different things, I’m just curious what to make of my dream.

thanks

I always thought that when you dream about death it signifies a new chapter in your life...you are saying /letting go of something. It might be your subconscious trying to deal with the death of your mum. Sorry for your loss x

I am sorry for your loss. I would take that dream to mean that if you reach out and speak to your mum, she can hear you and is there for you. It feels like a positive to me to help show you that you are not alone.

I’ve always found it helpful to look at what I was feeling in a dream, and it’s usually some unprocessed feelings from real life even if the setting is bizarre.

so what did you feel when people couldn’t see or hear you? Etc. It’s probably your mind trying to process your grief as you’re not leaving space for the processing to happen during the day.

sorry for your loss

Thanks, I’m trying to take from it that I’m not alone and this was a message that she can hear me. My emotions through the dream were all over the place. At the start I got comfort that my niece could pass on messages to my loved ones, then I got upset that I couldn’t sit and speak to my sister and even more upset when I thought this could be what my mum is going through now. My heads all over the place at the min 💔
