Cemetery Dream

[Crescent Moon]

I had a really odd dream last night.  (A bit of detail ~ my mom got divorced after 41 years of marriage.  She found happiness again with a man named Bobby.  She moved in with him and they were living together for about 2 ½ years before she suddenly passed away at age 59.  My mom was very happy with him.)  Please note that my mom has been deceased for over 8 years now and I haven’t spoken or seen Bobby for about 7 years now.  Onto the dream.

I dreamt that I was with Bobby (my mom’s old bf).  In my dream we had dinner and then he took me to the cemetery to find my mom's gravesite.  We couldn’t' find it.  We happened upon a funeral going on. He kept insisting he knew where it was. We even went into a mausoleum at one point just roaming around.  Then I said, I know where it is, and I started walking down the road in the cemetery and over a hill and saw the gravesite in the distance and I said there she is and then I woke up. This is a very strange dream to me. Any thoughts on this?

The things that stand out most in my dream are the mausoleums I saw, and the funeral I saw going on.  I knew in my dream that I had to get away from him and find the gravesite.  Also, we were there at night.  (Which I find rather odd too as the cemetery that my mom is buried in, closes at 5:00 pm promptly every day).

Dreams can be difficult things to interpret because they are really composed of symbals that are only meaningful to the dreamer.  Two things immediately come to mind:

1. It is nearly Samhain when our thoughts tend to turn to our beloved dead and also when our dead sometimes try to communicate with us.  It could be as simple as the fact that you'd been thinking of your Mom, perhaps even not consciously and therefore this came up in a dream.

2. Is this near the anniversary of your mother's death by any chance?  When we are coming up on the anniversary of a loved one's death it isn't unusual to have them  in our dreams.

Along with the things that Lark mentioned, I would wonder about the bf who you haven't seen or heard from in 7 years.
You say that your mom was happy with him. Could it have been a sign that you should perhaps check on his wear-a-bouts? Is he sick? Has he passed?

Since your mother is deceased, if he were to need someone or something of this life, she may not be able to get thru to him. Or, if he may have passed, perhaps your mother is trying to ask that you remember him also as Samhain draws near.

Thanks Lark & Sorsha.  My mom's anniversary is in March but her birthday was in the beginning of Sept.  A friend of mine said the same thing.  Perhaps my mom's bf has passed over and that's what the dream was trying to tell me.  That he was seeking her our now that he's passed over. I will say a prayer at Samhain for him in case he has passed.

When my mom "visits" me she does so through my dreams.  It might sound a bit strange to some but that's how loved ones come to visit me.

I have had dreams before where in my dream I knew the person was deceased and even stated that in my dream but they indeed told me they were just "visiting" me.  It's not unusal for me to get visits from deceased love ones.

Thank you for your input and I most definately will keep him in my thoughts as Samhain approaches.

Blessings to you both
