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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had yet another dream in which my mother and I had a sweet conversation, followed by her hugging me, and telling me she loves me. Then I woke up and remembered that my once-loving mother hasn’t spoken to me in five years, and her last words to me were, "I hope you die in a fire." FML
Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML
Today, I woke up to the news that my mom's in jail. FML
Today, I had a dream I saw my dad. I tried to talk to him, but then I woke up. He died last Monday. FML
Today, I had a dream that my mom hugged me and told me she loved me. I woke up to her banging on my door, barging into my room, inspecting it, and then telling me to “just fucking kill yourself, because you're genuinely a bad person” before slamming my door. My room was perfectly clean and tidy. FML
Today, I woke up from a nightmare that I've been having for a couple of weeks. In the nightmare I'm shot four times in the back by none other than my mother. I'm getting worried. FML
Today, I woke up sweating and gasping for air after having a terrible nightmare. The nightmare involved my deceased mother-in-law bitching me out for being a bad influence on her daughter and threatening to cut my nuts off. Even in death, she won't leave me be. FML
Today, I ran into a childhood friend for the first time in years. It turned out her mother died of COVID a few days ago. It was heartbreaking to see her close to tears all the time we talked, but due to distancing I couldn't even hug her to make her feel better. FML
Today, my mom died of COVID. As I was crying in her hospital room, my husband asked if it was OK for him to leave to take a business call, and our daughter asked if she could leave because she was bored and wanted to meet her boyfriend at a bar. FML
Today, my mom came home heavily drunk. As I was taking care of her, she told me all about how I was a mistake. That didn't hurt nearly as much as when she told me she wishes I'd died during her pregnancy. FML

Most dreams mean little to nothing. Some are wish fulfillment like yours apparently was. Some are about our fears or concerns. A dream that brings a real message from the departed is very rare, but they do happen - That kind of dream can range from highly symbolic to matter of fact with the departed out and out telling you something. (My family and me personally have had a few dreams that appeared to be a message from the departed.) But your dream’s message is in direct conflict with what you know to be true unless it’s a version of the movie “The Sixth Sense” and Mom is in denial about her own death. Frankly that seems really unlikely so I assume your dream was just a wish fulfillment dream which only means you miss your Mom - A very real sentiment but without any real “message”. My sincere sympathies on the loss of your mom. In time it will get better, but the loss never goes away entirely.

I'm guessing you and your mom spent a lot of time in Facebook groups. I'm sorry for your loss. The doctors weren't wrong about Covid, and I hope you get the vaccine as soon as you can (not like half of my idiot countrymen who are skipping it even though it's widely available.)

My brother, father and I all had dreams of my mom a month or so after her death back in 2016. All of them were just like yours, telling us that someone got it wrong and that she's actually still alive. I'm sorry you had that dream but I know how it feels. It's the worst. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope things get a little easier with time.

The brain is a funny thing, 4 months isn't a long time in the Divine where there is no concept of time. The feeling she gave you is what she feels, embrace that. With words things gets lost in translation feelings are always real. Sending you love and strength
