Nightmares are very common for me, but usually I'm being chased by a specific person and they're trying to hurt me. Those are normal for me and they started after going through something scary and awful. Those I'm used to. I'm not used to having a lot of death or such creepy things in my dreams. There have been several times over the years that I've dreamed about my twin sister dying in terribly ways right in front of me and each time I'm totally flipping out and trying to help her. For example, we live on a mountain and there's been two times I've dreamed about her dying at the same spot on our mountain. One she was in a car and burning and the other me and her were in her red car and had wrecked and were hanging off the mountain and she was hanging out the window. Those dreams REALLY tear me up for a good day or two. She has very similar ones about me. We usually freak out, but warn each other to be careful and then we write it off as something to do with us being twins and possibly not living together these past few years. I had a fantastic dream dictionary and that's pretty much why I felt it had something to do with us fearing being apart after being right by each other's side every waking moment of our lives.

BUT earlier I dreamed something so awful! It was about my mom and I don't even want to say/type it I'm so freaked out. I dreamed that she had a brain... tumor. It was the most screwed up dream ever! I've dreamed about my parents in very dangerous situations, but never so... bad as a tumor! I dreamed not long ago that my dad was driving down the mountain and I passed him and saw that he was asleep at the wheel so I jumped out of my car while driving and ran down the road to help him. I was grabbing his door and banging on the window to wake him up. He woke up and then fell right back asleep! But he didn't get hurt or die. Strange that most of these nasty dreams have to do with a car, driving and going down either side of the mountain we live on. Then recently I dreamed that he was out at the barn behind my house and I saw someone jump from a tree and try to stab him and then another person was there (strangers, all of them) and shot the stabber. Really crazy dream, but I wrote it off because I have been reading Helter Skelter and assumed the insane violence had to do with reading that book before bed.

Now back to my dream earlier--I was at my grandmother's house and my twin sister and older sister came to me and said "moma has a brain tumor." And I started crying like mad and then we were all together, the family and watching her... she was so sick. It was horrible I tell you!

So I've lost my dream book, but this dream has had me a little tore up all day. I don't think dreams all mean something, but I've found that they can have meaning and WHY on earth would I dream something so terrible about my mom?

Have you ever dreamed things like this? People say "I dreamed --- was going to die and two weeks later, they did!" I don't usually believe that, but I'm pretty worried. Would you be? Tell me about your dreams. Do you interpret them? I know things like red can signify dangerous situations and I have had that happen, but nothing extremely serious. I just wonder where in the world a brain tumor came from, in this dream? The word brain tumor hasn't even crossed my mind lately and I've went over it and know that I've not read anything or watched anything that has to do with brain tumors.

So, have you ever had dreams like this? If you were me, having so many dreams about parents being severely ill, would you flip out? Feel free to share anything you want about your dreams and experiences. I always enjoy reading other people's experiences too. less
