My daughter dreamed that I died but I am alive and had to reassure her that I am all right. Does anyone know what this means?

Answer 1

• There could be various reasons why your daughter dreamt that you died: If you had a recent death in the family this could cause your daughter anguish because she is more in tune with mortality; one of her friends could have had a mother or father die and she is frightened this could happen to you or, since the subconscious gathers a great deal of information and can retain much of it which your daughter would be unaware of she could have seen a movie or TV program about the death of a mother or over heard a conversation relating to a mother's death. Death affects all of us at one time or another and in your daughter's generation they grow up fairly fast and although they may not always think of death it is in the back of their minds on occasion. There is no way that a parent can promise one or more of their children that they will never die, but the parent can soften the blow of the reality of death by simply telling the daughter that it is important to live; enjoy the ones they love and not think of death so much.
