Some dreams become authentic nightmares and arrive to torture at night and also during the day. This is the case of dreaming that your mother dies, an distressing dream that fortunately is not a premonition. Discover in our Dream Dictionary all the meanings of dreaming that your mother dies.
It is inevitable to worry when you dream that your mother has died. The death of relatives is one of the most frequent and distressing dreams but you can be calm because in no case are they a premonition. That does not prevent the first thing you do when you wake up after having such a dream of calling your mother to check that it is fine.
There seems to be agreement in the interpretation of this dream in which it is the fear that you have to lose your mother, either because it dies, or because you distinguish yourself physically or emotionally. Since the mother is one of the figures that support your life, the fear that the situation will change, to run out of your most unconditional support can make you this dream.
It is also common to have this dream when the relationship with your mother does not go through the best moment. Obviously it does not mean that you want your mother to disappear, but that what a distance is hurting you. Your subconscious presents your mother’s death to think about what really matters, how you would feel if he really died. Then you just have to think, is it worth being angry?
There is no lack of who attributes this dream of the death of a mother with a certain feeling of guilt. You think your way of life is not to your mother’s liking and you feel guilty for making it unhappy. In many families the pressure on the lives of others is excessive, but remember that your mother gave you a life so that you live her, not to live it.
Although it seems incredible, on many occasions dreaming that your mother dies is not a nightmare but a very positive dream. We are accustomed to fear of death, ours and especially that of our loved ones for the loss that entails. But the truth is that death can also be seen from another totally different perspective and that is what appears many times in some dreams.
Therefore, if your mother is having a bad streak, a bad stage, if you do not see her happy, if you see that she is suffering physically or emotionally, if you perceive that she has not been done in her life because she has always dedicated himself to others and she has left aside, it is possible that you have this dream with her death. And it is very positive because to start it is not a premonitory dream.
The death of your mother in dreams is a metaphor that you want a better, happier life, with more joys. You would like your mother to start from scratch and have a different life, more focused on itself, in their needs, in their own care. And for that, we insist that it is a metaphor, it has to be reborn. And to be reborn … before you have to die.
It is in this case death as a closing of one stage and beginning of a new one, as a second chance, such as burying the past and making a funeral for suffering. In this way your mother would be reborn as the phoenix and this time could even fly.
You will know if it is a positive or negative dream for the emotions it transmits to you. If you feel lighter after sleep, do not think you are a bad daughter or that you want your mother any evil; On the contrary. If you feel good after dreaming of your mother’s death it is because you are willing to help her start a new stage.
Logically, death does not always appear under this positive symbolism and you may wake up anguished, confused or restless. Remember at all times that you have no prophetic powers and that it is not a premonitory dream. You may have to clarify with yourself some aspects of the relationship you have with your mother, such as the feeling of guilt or the poor management of loneliness.
Or maybe you have to awaken and clarify with your mother your relationship with the aim of improving it, cleaning any trace of misunderstandings or reproaches accumulated throughout a lifetime. Take sleep as an excuse to get closer to your mother and to accompany her in her new life.
