Dreams of people dying

[Aftereightsaremine]

I have in the past had dreams of friends or relatives dying or of being unwell, shortly after these dreams the person dreamt about dies. I don't like it & it scares me, the only saving grace is I then make an effort to see that person before they pass to say my goodbyes.

I have now had the same dream about my mum & it has scared me shitless to the point I have been shaking all day, I know of course that it may not happen but I am still worried.

Has anyone else had similar dreams & also I feel that as a Christian I shouldn't be having dreams like this unless it is God speaking to me. I just don't know.

Many times we have dreams because during sleep our brains organize the thoughts we sometimes do not wish to face explicitly. Hence often dreaming about loved ones who are facing the end of their lives.

Separately from this, some people have gifts of insight of various kinds. They are all gifts from the one source of all things. But we can choose to set aside these gifts if they are troubling us, for as long as we wish. God doesn't need to speak to any of us in a dream. We however sometimes need to trust in the gifts we have.

I think your mum will be looked after, whatever happens, but whether or not she is about to leave you for a while, it would be good for both of you to treasure your times together. The sadness from close ones passing on is more bearable if you both know that it is only time that separates you, nothing more. Otherwise, the burden on the dying must be worse than on those they love. And even if you're looking fifty years ahead, do you think that makes it easier? Please remember to be happy, not scared, for your time together.

Dreams about dying usually indicate change or can be manifestations of subconscious anxiety regarding the dreamt about person. I have dreamt that my husband and children have died, but it's usually just anxiety as I do worry about them.

Is your mum in good health or do you have any reasons to be worried about her? Were the people you dreamt about ill or did they die in some random accident or something? Are you prone to worrying about loved ones?

Thank you all

Hiddenhome no the people I dreamt about were not ill at the time of dreaming but within days of my dreaming of them they were diagnosed with terminal illness & passed shortly after. & no I am not a worrier!

7th month that is so lovely

How old is your mum?

She is 66 so not really old, my maternal gran is still alive & she's almost 93, hope old age rubs in families!

Yes, old age runs in families.

I'm sure your mum will be fine and it's just one of those things.
