Nightmares
One of the worst things about my mom dying is the nightmares that she died. Waking up brings no relief because I find out it is true. I also dream that my mouth is full of gum and I can't get rid of it. As fast as I pull it out of my mouth is appears again.

Such powerful dreams, Birdie, to me the stuff of grief, like endless gum, you cannot quite unstick yourself from it.
ReplyDeleteEach nightmare is an effort for your subconscious to come to terms with the reality and in time they will pass.
ReplyDeleteDreams are strange and wonderful and hangover inducing, I think. Have them, think about them, let them go.
ReplyDeleteCan you force your mind towards a good memory, from the time before your mother grew ill? I have learned to redirect my thoughts to get past the worries that otherwise spin through my brain and prevent sleep. I don't know what else to offer.
ReplyDeleteGum dreams. Wow. That's very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI can relate. My Mom passed in 2009 and I still have dreams of her passing. I do believe it is part of our grieving process. The same thing happened when my Dad died 10 years before, but gradually they changed and now when I dream of him it is usually of happy times, and I regret having to wake up.
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
I think those dreams are your subconscious working things out. (I run to the dream dictionary when I have a particularly strong dream as well.) Wishing you a peaceful and prosperous new year : )
ReplyDeleteDreams try to show aspirations, warn about upcoming events or alert you to things that are needed... Maybe in your case , to express yourself to your brother????

ReplyDeleteWhatever it's about, hope it sorts itself out soon and lets you sleep in peace.
I don't dream anymore :-( I miss them. I used to dream in vivid technicolour and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between my dreams and reality sometimes. Then menopause came (early) and since then, nothing. People are complex creatures...
I hope your nightmare subside...
ReplyDeleteBirdie...I have been off the blog reading for the holidays. A bit behind and now attempting to catch up.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is hard to interpret our dreams and why we have such disconcerting ones or ones we long to stay in just for awhile longer. With morning we can refresh and begin again.
Nightmares! I used to have them all the time, but when the worst cause was removed from my real life they subsided.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will find a way to come to terms with your mum's death eventually. In the meantime, carry on mourning; we all take a different approach and there is no fixed time for an end to it.
In spite of your sadness I wish you a happy and peaceful New Year.
It will get better, it will! I promise!
I can relate about the nightmares. My father was dying from heart failure just a few months ago. He was literally days away from passing when he finally received a heart transplant. That was a close call, and it was the source of many sleepless nights for me.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your loss. Death is a part of life, but it's still painful nonetheless...
