I'm having dreams about the night my mum passed away

Hi everyone I just needed some help. Ever since my mum passed away I have been dreaming each night about the night she passed away. I sometimes wake up crying or having hot sweats. Is this normal? X

  • Hi agin Jensterf,

    Sorry for the short reply yesterday but maybe I can offer a little more help today.

    Having lost my Dad last year and experienced many dreams about him it sounds to me that the dreams you are having are perfectly normal.  In fact it was only a couple of days ago that I dreamt Dad and I were having a drink in a pub to celebrate him finishing his treatment and being told that he no longer had cancer.  Of course I woke up to the reality of him being gone and then felt just as bad as the day he died.

    Your profile says that you lost your Mum recently and I am guessing you loved her very much so in all honesty I wouldn't worry about these dreams and waking in the middle of the night at all.  Losing someone so close is a very difficult thing to deal with and we all cope in different ways.  Just take things one day at a time and I am sure that in time your dreams will become less frequent although you will still miss her very much.

    Please keep in touch and update us on how you are doing.  Also come here and write your thoughts and emotions as it really does help.

    Take care.

    I am so sorry for your loss

    I too recently lost my mum. Two weeks isn't long but it kills me every day. I have been having dreams about mum aswell last night I had a dream that we were sitting in the funeral directors discussing flowers. I would say its perfectly normal to dream about a loved one. My husband said yesterday I was moaning in my sleep but again was dreaming about mum.
