Dreaming of A Mother Who Has Passed Away
Below is a dream that was recently left on the blog to be analyzed and interpreted. I felt many others could benefit from the dream, so I’m sharing it below.
Hello my name is Delandra and I am 25 Years old I recently lost my mother and I am now beginning to have dreams of her dieing again .Some of the things in my dream are kinda weird. There is one dream that I had where I was fussing wit my uncle about something and he follows me into the house and I end up underneath him and he place a gun in my chest and begins to pull the trigger but while i’m screaming for help the bullets are just blanks and then i’m where someone gets a phone call from my grandmother telling them that my mother is dead and i begin to scream and cry and I wake u wit tears in my eyes as if i am crying but i really was crying. Can u explain this to me please?
First of all, I’m terribly, terribly sorry about your mother. 25 is unbelievably young to lose a parent. I’m profoundly sorry and hope you have a good number of people around you to help with the months and even years ahead. As someone who has walked the dark road you’re now facing, I can tell you that you have to take your time and heal – give yourself patience and time. You can’t lose someone you had your whole life and not feel the loss for a very, very long time.
During such a horrible lose, our brains (understandably) have a difficult time processing and making sense out of what has happened. How do you make peace with something so outrageously unfair and heartbreaking? During the day, while we’re in the grieving process, we often “busy” our minds. It’s a coping strategy and one that everyone recommends…. “Keep busy” – how many times do we hear that?
We do the best we can to keep our mind occupied while we’re awake, but when we’re asleep, the mind tries to make sense of the loss the best it can. It’s extremely common to dream about people we have lost, especially in the first weeks and months after the loss. When the loss hits particularly close to home, we often think about our own death. This explains your dream. While your mind is trying to wrap itself around your horrible loss, it’s also sorting out fears you may have about your own mortality.
Take very good care of yourself during the coming months and get plenty of rest. Your dreams will be a better place to be very soon. Again, I’m very sorry for your loss.

I have had the these dreams of my moma her coming and taking me and my children to heaven and telling me she didn’t want to leave there it was beautiful and she loved it there and then she said that she had someone she wanted us to meet and Jesus came out and sit with us and talked about my mother loving it there and that she would always love me no matter what but that she couldn’t come back. Later in that year I had a dream of my aunt who passed away 1yr before my mother and my mother come to see me and i was so excited to see them when i went to hug my aunt she started trying to smother me and i was trying to get away and she finally stopped i said what are you doing and she said to me you have to come with us and i said no i have to stay and take care of children they need me and she looked at me like she was mad and my mother finally told her that i couldn;t leave my babies need me and they left but i scared to go back to sleep afraid i was going to dy.
My dad passed away very suddenly of an infection that spread to his brain when I was 18. I maybe only had one or two dreams about him a few months after his passing, but recently I have had two disturbing dreams.
In my first dream, my mom and dad were at my dance recital and I was very happy to see him. When I went up to hug him, he told me he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I began bursting into tears. I told him he would beat it and he told me he would. I woke up thinking “dad’s still alive, dad’s still alive” and was devastated when reality hit me that he was gone.
In my second dream (which happened a few nights ago), my dad, mom, and sister picked me up from college and I was in disbelief that he was there. I turned to my boyfriend and began to cry so he held me and said, “What’s wrong?” and I told him, “My dad has come back to life! You have to meet him.” And I introduced them to each other. I was so incredibly happy and again I woke up upset and tormented by my dreams.
I’ve been wondering why I’m having these dreams lately, they are both a blessing and a curse. In my dream world I feel like the luckiest person in the world and then when I wake up it’s like I’m reliving his death all over again.
My mother passed away about four years ago now. Within that time period, I had 4 dreams where I conversed with her. Out of those four dreams, only from one dream do I remember what she said to me. The rest is so fuzzy. I remember the vivid images, but no recollection of what was said. In my first dream, I was laying in bed when i heard her voice talking to me, I don’t remember what was said there either, but after that, she walked into my room and sat down in a chair by my bed. I remember thinking I really didn’t know what to say. I just casually asked, “so, how is Heaven”? She said, “busy”. That was it. After that short conversation, I woke up.
i started having dreams that were very vivid in nature since about 11 years old. i was brought up in a basically christian home, but not extreme. well as i became older i realized through events that i had dreamt the future of certain family members way in advance, but before i realized that i had dreams leading up to the events dats before the events, i dreamt things that cannot be explained away as coincidence, since i didn’t share the events, or understand them til they happened, and how do you explain away the exact birth of a child, when you are told you can’t have children and the night before you ar going to start a diet regimen, you dream you are playing with that child, exactly the way it looks at 4 months old, and as you see he child grow, you realize you had dreams of this child years before and saw the child older too, that is uncanny, no way a person can dream someone that hasn’t even been born yet, as an older child. i have had dreams of a chorus of angels, disasters, mostly water disasters, covering bridges and sweeping into condos on the beach taking vehicles with it and people, tornadoes lifting up cars and homes, an earthquake in a dry place similar to pheonix, it had red dry dirt and hills with caverns, moutainy areas. i have seen military men taking people out of their homes, and the children being placed in some type of laboratory buildings, with people dressed in white, teaching them something or brainwashing them. i have seen heaven, and a garden there and
walked with Jesus, conversing, i have heard Gods voice in the thunder, giving me instruction, i can go on and on, it has become a common thing with me, God has warned me 9n dreams right before something traumatic happened, i have learned after many falls, to listen to my dreams, is there a group of christians that have this gift, that i can meet up with, cause we need to get together and try to
help people during these next few years, cause there is going to be alot happening and they need real christians t guide them through it, i had lost hope cause most sights turn out to be psychics or people i dont dabble with, i keep away from all types of magic, sorcery and all that, i believe people have the gifts like joseph and daniel in the Bible, i know they do, cause i’m one of them, i want to use my gift to Gods glory, not mine, i will wait to hea from you..jackie

I’m so happy to have come across this website because after reading some of the posts I realize that there are others out there possibly like me that are also confused and scared. In my case sometimes to the point where I sometimes question my own sanity and the subject is something I’ve felt I’ve had to hide from people all my life. The exception being my family and a handful of friends that have listened to me relate dreams that are a constant in my life. Also the journals and the many notepads, pieces of papers and dream documentations stored in my computer that serve as proof of sorts when a week , a few days or a month later tragedy strikes someone we know or a loved on dies. I don’t know when the dreams began or maybe when I began to take notice but I think it was around 1990 when I dreamt that my aunt had died and about a week later she did> She lived in another city across the state and her death was unexpected and not a result of any illness and it was my favorite aunt ( not even a biological aunt, she was my ex/husband’s aunt but we had been very close and she had passed away 4 years prior )but it was she that appeared in a dream in which she was with my aunt Berta at my house. These two women never met while alive. Then there were numerous incidents in those early years where I would dream of aunt Sarah coming to visit me or I would be at her house, usually at her house and sometimes she would be in my dreams two or three times a week and it was then that I knew something bad was going to happen. It always did, someone would be in a bad auto accident or in the hospital ER or seriously injured or whatever but always something bad. The my ex/father in law passed away and both of the aunts appeared in dreams for two nights and three days later my daughter called to tell me that her grandpa was dead. This is someone that neither I nor my kids had seen nor heard from in years because he moved away from the city years earlier. There were at least four others that were either related or whom I was close to and each time aunt Sarah, Tia Berta and my ex in-laws appeared in dreams before someone would pass or before some tragedy befell someone close.. I started writing down what I could remember of the dreams sometimes very little sometimes a lot of it and sometimes they made no sense or it would be just brief flashes that came during the day but never long enough to actually capture even a small bit. What impacted my alot of times was not so much the dreams of being with loved ones that had died because most of the time there was nothing ominous about the dreams. The dreams themselves were pleasant and in everyday settings but sometimes it was the feeling that the dreams left in their wake. Like a foreboding or impending doom or sadness, it’s hard to explain. My family and friends started joking around half seriously sometimes asking that I please never include them in those dreams as if it were something I could control. Before my mother died it was my aunt Berta that appeared in my dreams and she was walking in my mother’s garden with my mother and then aunt Sarah and they increased and one day I got a call that my mom was in the hospital because she had collapsed. Undiagnosed ovarian cancer she was gone within three weeks. Two years later it was my mother who appeared and what is to this day the most heartbreaking and yet beautiful dream I have ever had in my life because it felt so real and my mother held me in her arms and comforted me and it was a feeling like I’ve never, ever known or felt before in my life, not from anyone even my mother that I loved so much. For I felt the love that she felt for me as she held me and when I woke up I remembered every detail of the dream and all that day and for most of the next day I could still feel that unexplicable love and I felt my mothers arms around me and I remember thinking for a long time that must be what God’s love is like. About three months later my dad had a mild stroke that resulted in the discovery of two aneurysms. My dad survived the surgery but never left ICU he died three weeks later. Since then there have been many, many tragedies to those that surround me or deaths that I sat down and documented in fact last week and the list is over two dozen. I’ve also noticed that as someone dies they begin to appear in my dreams friends, co-workers, family and even the family of my close friends. However about four years ago another thing changed about my dreams because now they no longer appear before something bad is going to happen or before someone is going to die. Because about four years ago the appearances of people I know that have passed on have become a part of my life because there is not one single week in my life that does not include at least a couple of my loved ones sometimes more.. They are in in my dreams at least four to five times a week and I have become used to it. There is no fear because they don’t bring fear with them and it’s no longer to signify that something bad is going to happen. I can tell the difference, because when that’s the case there’s something in the dream that unsettles or worries me or I wake up with that feeling. But for the most part it’s just everyday settings, doing everyday things, my mom and dad are a constant and for that I am truly blessed. The last 4 or 5 people that died just in the last couple of years appeared with my parents and myself in dreams and three of these people never met my parents yet I was close to them. I stopped telling people my dreams years ago, I just write them down if and what I can remember then when something happens I’ll go back and read that dream I had weeks or a couple of months before and it still affects me emotionally, alot. My husband and my two kids and two or three other people know they have continued and evolved and they believe me but I know that to others it will probably sound like someone with a very vivid or disturbed imagination. That’s not the case, I am 57 years old, and I have an IQ of 146, I am a paralegal, a wife, mother and grandmother. I was raised in a Christian home where morals, ethics, respect, tradition, love and most of all family are all important. I had a wonderful childhood and parents that loved us and were always there for us and I have a wonderful husband and two great kids and six grandchildren. Yet I am alone in this world where maybe one or two days of the week I have normal dreams like everyone else and the rest are shared with my family, friend and the loved ones of those close to me but have now passed on. I know this sounds incredible because I have searched the web and I read a lot and so far I have not come across a posting from someone with dreams of deceased loved ones in the same manner. I hope there is someone out there because I need to understand why or how this is happening to me. It’s been over two decades.
My mother passed away almost 7 years ago. Even though we had our ups and downs, we were fine when she died. She left myself and my children a sizeable estate which my brother has robbed and we are still fighting for. Things have been very hard for us lately financially and we are struggling alot. Today is my oldest son 21st birthday and he was adored by his grandmother. I had a dream that my mother was choking me and putting her hand over my mouth so I would not scream. I have never had a bad dream about her. I am thinking she is mad with me??
Well it am 13 and my mom has not died yet but she 51 and she is a single parent and im not really bright, so she has to tell me to clean this and that, but 7/12/2010-7/14/2010 i have nightmare following nightmare about my mom dyeing (but remember she not died) like:
-1) my mom had cancer and she said she loved me and hoped to see me in heaven with here and jesus the talking about food and stuff like that and leave me to rest in peace, and to never long for me for i will be with you always. then she died
-2) then i saw my mom being shot by a man in a black outfit all black and with a 9 millimeter pistol and then the force of the bullet came out of my moms skull and shot me in the face
-3) i had my god father DJ-ing downstairs in and the patio and she told me to come up and she was on the bed crying and said Dillor I love you and I hope you have A good life and make sure that you get
a good wife and study, STUDY as much as you can because knowledge and power, and go to church son god will be there for you always and tears came down form the eyes of my moms and my eyes, and she rolled over on the other side and let out a big gasp of air and Died
——————————————————————————————————————————————what do these dreams mean, some time 2 times in 1 night pls someone help me im at the piano crying
why do you always interpret as only the “mind”… ? i believe the mind is like a radio getting signals from the otherside and her mother actually did visit her in her dreams. Why is that so hard to grasp for some people? Its annoying.
BRANDON, Why? Here’s why: I FULLY believe that God allows us to “hear” from loved ones we’ve lost. I’ve lost both my mother and father, both sets of grandparents, a sister in law, and my in laws. Most of them died WAY too young – with the exception of my in laws who had long, full lives (they were SO cute!).
I KNOW when I’ve gotten little messages from my loved ones. It’s more than a little obvious. These messages (sometimes they’re like, “Think this through…” or “Hang in there!” or sometimes they’re simply, “I love you and I’m here always!”) can’t be missed. I feel them just as obviously as I would if they tapped me on the shoulder and, audibly, spoke my name.
When our loved ones speak to us, they will not do it cloaked in mystery or doubt. Why would they bother if there was a possibility we’d miss the message or not know what it means?! They know us well enough to know EXACTLY when and how we’ll hear them. Plus, why would a loved one try to “creep us out” or upset us? Most dreams about loved ones who have died do just that
I’ve worked with dreams for YEARS and a great deal of them are dreams about death and dreams about loved ones who have passed.
Why “interpret as only the mind” – because it’s the mind that dreams.
I do not now, or ever, doubt or question that we can (and do) hear from lost loved ones. Why question (or refuse to “grasp”) something that I often experience?
Thanks for leaving your thoughts, Brandon. I absolutely LOVE to hear what’s on people’s minds! – Joi
