I am not sure why I am writing this really I think I just wanted a place to put it. I lost my Mum last week and I'm normally such a dreamer (both in life and in sleep!) but she has not come to me yet, I so wish that she would.

We used to talk about our dreams to each other as well. I guess one day she might appear but also I know it's really soon and maybe I'm just clutching at straws.

You know this is weird because me and my daughter were talking about this earlier, I lost my son, her brother in 2022 and I have had a fair few dreams of him but she has had none so far and she keeps asking me why she hasn't dreamt of him yet and I have no answer to give her 😢 i hope you get to dream of your lovely mum soon and I know I'm waiting for the day my daughter gets to have her dream.

I personally don't think it's him coming back to see me but I suppose in a way it is and it does feel like I have got a brand new memory of him when I wake up which is always bittersweet.

I'm so sorry for your loss xx

She will come, just give it time.

I was distraught my parent wasn’t coming to me in my dreams, then a couple of months later they came and gave me a very clear message.

Im sorry for your loss, it’s incredibly hard x

She will. You're still processing.

Sorry for your loss OP.

My dad died five years ago and didn't come to my dreams for a while. I think people say they come when you're ready. He appears in my dreams quite frequently now and he's fit and well like how I remember him. Your mum will come in time but until she does, just keep talking to her anyway.

Thanks all.

I am so sorry for your loss as well to everyone on here that has lost someone close.

To lose a child I can't imagine ☹️ I'm so sorry @Ihopeithinkiknow I hope your daughter dreams of her brother soon too, and love that you get to see him in your dreams x

I sometimes dream of my lovely dad who died in 2019, but even in my dream I am always aware he is dying / about to die. I wish I could just have a nice dream with him!

turquoisediamond · 21/10/2024 23:02

I forgot to say - sorry for your loss. I hope you get a nice dream with her in soon.

She may not be with you in dreams but she is with you wherever you go and in whatever you do.

I have had my mum, dad and brother all appear in dreams recently. I thought they were never going to show up! Hang in there OP.

Illjusthavethebreadsticks · 22/10/2024 04:12

I had a very vivid dream of my mum a few months after she died. I'm pretty sure it was her coming back to reassure me she was ok.

That sounds lovely I really hope so too
