Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I had to comfort my husband after he had a dream in which both his parents died. He was really upset. Both my parents are dead… in real life. FML

Dreams
Today, I woke up from a dream where I was talking with my Pa, who raised me, about my life. He and I drank coffee and talked and he told me everything will be OK. I will never talk with him again; he passed almost 59 years ago and I never got to say goodbye or tell him how much I loved him. FML

Are you there?
Today, I had an awful dream where my uncle died from a massive heart attack. When I woke up, my brain interpreted the dream as being a real thing that really happened. It wasn't until my uncle called and asked me why everyone thought he was dead that I finally came to my senses. FML

Dream baby dream
Today, my father had a dream that he'd lost me forever, and the pain was so unbearable, it woke him up. Turns out, the pain he was experiencing was just his bowels and he really needed to take a shit. This is the most affection I've ever received from my father. FML

It's alright
Today, I dreamt of my mom. She came over to me, and said, "Hey, I'm alright, the doctors were wrong." My mom died 4 months ago due to Covid-19 complications, and waking up shouldn't be so painful. FML

Don't shoot the messenger
Today, I took my best friend to see her dad in hospital. While they were talking in another room about his care, he took his last lucid words before his death. I was the only one there and I'd never even met him before. FML

What's worse?
Today, after I'd saved up and frontloaded working hours for two weeks to ensure I'd have time and funds to go to a local show on my birthday, I received a call letting me know my father had a heart attack and was dying. He did pass away, at around 5AM on the morning of my birthday. FML

Dreams never end
Today, my wife had a dream in which I died while she was pregnant. This is troubling, especially since I had the exact same dream the day before. FML

I have had similar dreams after loved ones died. I believe they are saying goodbye.

I had a dream like that. COVID took my mom a month ago, and a few day ago, I dreamt about her, too. Stay strong, OP.

He's visiting you, that is awesome. Condolences on losing him, I lost my Dad a year ago this month. It takes a while to get back to your normal self, go easy on yourself and it helps spending as much time as you can with loved ones

My dad passed away almost 8 years ago and I will still occasionally have those dreams. Having a parent die sucks, and it will always kind of suck. But eventually it sucks a little less, and those dreams can be reassuring later on. It ensures that their memory still lives on.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Stories like this make me wonder if it's possible there are ghosts.

He is making sure you're okay. It is said that when you dream of a departed loved one, they are in the room, checking on you. Sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Shortly after my stepfather unexpectedly passed I saw him in a lucid dream. I realized I was dreaming, and was aware that he was actually dead, so I was able to say goodbye to him. Even though it was only a dream it was very meaningful to me.

If it happens again and you get to talk to him, don't tell him he's dead. If I tell my dad that in my dreams, he gets sad and goes away. If I totally ignore the fact he's dead, I can talk to him all night.
