dream left me scared

last weekend I had a (very rare!) lie-in whilst dh took dd out for the morning.

in my dream i spoke to my grandma (who is 91, very much alive, well and living alone in sheltered accomodation) who told me that if she died her funeral would be on 17th February (this year) at 2pm, but that hopefully she would live and we could cancel the funeral.

when i woke up i was relieved to notice that 17th feb is a sunday when funerals can't take place.

since then she has been in and out of hospital with heart problems (shes always ahd heart problems and has survived many heart attacks in the past of various intensities) and last night was admitted again as her heart was racing. she is still in hosital today but is doing fine and expected to come home either today or tomorrow.

so i am scared that perhaps she will die, perhaps at 2pm on sunday. am i being stupid to think this? if she hadnt been ill recently i probably wouldnt have given it another thought...

my dad (her son) is 65 and is having chemo for lung cancer. i havent told him of my dream but i have tried to get him to go and visit her (we are in devon, she is in manchester) but he does not appear overly worried and cant realistically up and go to manchester in the middle of chemo unless he has to. should i tell him about the dream? or should i tell mum in the hope she can get him to go and visit, or should i just leave well alone and hope that it was just a dream and has no more significance than that....

thanks

Dreams like that are usually about fears which you can't express during waking hours.
I can well understand that you are phased by it because it was so specific. But let's face it, your grandma is 91 and not going to live forever. So your mind prepares you for that eventuality.
I would not burden your dad with it, he has so much to cope with already
Is it possible for you to ring her/ send a card/some flowers for when she comes out of hospital? Anything to show her that you love her and are thinking of her? I'm sure she would be delighted to know that you care so much.

thats a lovely thought dutchoma, thank you. i will print of some pictures of my daughter for her (her first great grandchild) i think that would mean more to her than flowers...and cheer her up a bit. hopefully all will be ok and she'll be down again soon (she flys down from manchester - an amazing woman!) to see us all.

You sre right, that is truly amazing Kerri. And what a lovely thought to print some of your daughter's pictures, I'm sure she will love it.
