I used to have another recurring dream for years after my grandmother died--that my mother and I were hunting around her house for her and couldn't find her, but it was kinda obvious why I was having that. Finally, I dreamed that we found her and told her she was dead and the dreams stopped.

I can't figure it out.

My sister had a dream where she was in a house we lived in about 30 years ago. She said she was in the bathroom talking with our grandmother (who died during the time we lived in that house) when my parents dog showed up to see her. The dog is passed in the last few years. My sister said she didn't really "react" in her dream until a quite beloved cat that passed while we lived in that house showed up in her dream as well. She said she freaked in the dream because she realized that all those with her were DEAD! That must mean she was DEAD! She said she started shouting in her dream "I have to call Pam. I have to call Pam! She will know what to do." and woke up shouting that. She called me the next day to tell me about the dream.

We laughed about it a little. Three weeks later, she called me to tell me about her cancer. I was the first person she called. "I have to call Pam." was what her husband said was the first things out of her mouth after they got in the car from the hospital.

Sometimes dreams prepare us for scary things too.
