Both my daughter and mother dreamed I died...

4. I love that you did dream analysis...

as part of your clinical psych practice.


1. Did your daughter know about your mother's dreams the night before? No

2. Did you tell her about it or did she overhear a conversation about it? No, I had told no one.

3. Can you give me more detail about your mother's dream?

Mom is in an assisted care facility with advanced COPD and dementia, though she is quite lucid most of the time thus far. I speak with her daily. She simply said "you appeared to me and were all gray and I knew you were dead."

4. Right now, your mother and daughter dreams sound like two different type dreams. Your daughter's dream is a classic anxiety dream.

For sure my daughter has a lot of anxiety and relies on me tremendously for childcare and emotional support and other practical support. She has the typical stress of a single working parent but is aware how fortunate she is to have so much help. Her dream certainly makes complete sense, as far as its meaning for her.

I just found it interesting about the two dreams within two days. (My mom and daughter don't speak; there's not animosity, it's just that they don't communicate much at all.)
