Dreams (sad?)

Several times a year, for the past many years, I have a dream where my mother comes back. I had one last night. It is the most bizzare thing. It makes me feel happy...but sad...and I don't want to wake up. In my dreams she comes back after having been gone for a long time for treatment. Sometimes she still looks sick. Sometimes she looks like she did when she was in remission. Sometimes she is working. Sometimes she is baking. One time there was a parade for her. She was at the end...almost like a Christmas parade where Santa comes on his sleigh at the end. And in every dream I feel so excited to see her. And so elated to spend my time with her. And when I wake up I hate it and try to fall back asleep. I haven't had a dream about her and Abe yet. I can't wait to have one.

Just wanted to share. I think these dreams are really special.

    Aw, that's really sweet that you can spend time with her if only in your dreams. I have dreams a lot about my grandparents who have all passed away and I love when I dream about them! :)

    This exactly.

    I'm really glad that you shared this with us, it's such a special connection you have to your mother, and I can't wait to hear about your first Abe/Mommy dream. Much love to you!

    Those dreams are very special.  As others have said they are bittersweet but beautiful in their own way.  I actually have dreams like that with my childhood dog (we had her for 16 years).  Granted, a dog does not compare to one's mom but they leave me feeling happy.

    Those dreams are bittersweet.  I have them about my dad.  Like yours, sometimes he's perfectly healthy and other times he's very, very sick; those ones are hard.  Sometimes I dream that he had decided not to come off of the ventilator or is waiting for that day to happen still.  I have had one dream where he was in the hospital and my mom and I were visiting with him.  I realized in the dream he had not met Marcus yet, so I ran home to get Marcus.  It was amazing and beautiful, and he was overjoyed, holding Marcus on the bed.  It's making me cry at work thinking about it!  I hope you get a mom and Abe dream soon!

    This made me teary! I wondered if you had dreams about your dad too.

    I was just telling my dad about my dream and he told me that not a day goes by where he doesn't think about my mom.

    Thank you so much for sharing this with us - what a wonderful connection to  have. I, too, can not wait to hear about your first dream about she and Abe!  It sounds like she is always watching over you!

    Between your dream and Megan's, I'm weeping like a fool.

    I think those are not just dreams, but connections you are still making with your parent. How could that not be beautiful (and bittersweet)?

    Thanks for sharing...
