My mom's dream is scaring me
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2019 11:03 pm
Ok, so I get this real excited call from my mother, who has remembered a dream. She never remembers dreams.
We have talked and talked on the subject, she would like to remember and we have discussed ways she could get greater recall, but she hadn't done any of them.
The day she had the dream she was very disoriented after leaving her bridge game at a new players house. Got all turned around leaving the place, managed to get home and fell asleep right away. When she woke she didn't know how she got home or who drove her. She thought it might have been me but then she realized I had left over a week ago. She called to say that she dremt this....
She had been driving a car behind a big truck whose back cargo gate was all open. She saw a figure in the back of this truck getting tossed about as the tuck went down the road. She suddenly realized it was her grandmother (on her fathers side). Before long they were somehow at the side of the road talking and my mother had the huge compulsion to approach her and gave her a big kiss on the cheek, which she did.
And that's all she remembers.
This is what is freaking me out, 1. Her being so disoriented makes me belive something is happening in her brain, could be stroke or TSI, 2. The disorientation has opened up a portal previously unaccessable which could be good or bad, 3. Seeing family member long dead and frankly had never been thought of fondly, suddenly affectionate towards them. 4. Embracing and kissing someone on the other side after disorienting afternoon.
See, that's the other thing that is twisted. My mother never talked about this grandmother, I had to ask her tonight. I didn't even know her name...Helen, her English name, they had emigrated from Norway, she doesn't remember nor could pronounce her Norse name.
And now she is embracing her?
I know I should be strong, she is 90, but her mother lived to 100, I'm kinda counting on her to do the same I guess. I have so many thoughts running tru my head rite now and tears out my eyes..i gotta go.
