Bad dreams last few nights

Two nights ago I had a horrible dream and I woke up sobbing. I dreamt that my daughter had died and I was in her funeral. She was about the age she is now which is 10 or maybe a little older. All her school friends were there and we were all crying. Last night I had a dream that my father paid my way to go to Florida to go to my sister's baptism. But when he picks me up from the airport he confesses he lied about why he sent for me. He takes me to the hospital and I see my sister who is 9 months old hooked up to tubes and monitors. He tells me she has Hepatitis C. and begs me to donate blood to her. Why am I having these nightmares? I am scared to go to sleep tonight because I don't want to have another bad dream!

Have you been on birth control? I use to get night mares when I was on it, they were so terrible that I did not want to go to sleep for a week.

I have not used birth control in years. I am not sure what is going on. My mom says I am too stressed out and it is affecting my sleep. I have started meditating before bed to see if that will relax me. Hopefully it works!

Bad dreams. You know I've heard that every bad dream is a good thing.So whenever I'm dreaming a bad dream so reassure that this dream is something good and beautiful. These bad dreams sometimes show us that something might happen.So better look at some Dreambook or be more careful. Lie quietly calmed down and then lie down to rest by not taking him so much heart. Have a nice day!

That is very true! Bad dreams do remind us to be grateful for all that we have and all we've done. Maybe in this case it is a reminder to keep my family close to my heart. Thank you for putting it in that perspective!

Thank you for the good advice. Now when I have a bad dream I look it up in a dream dictionary. It helps me understand my dream better. This makes me feel much better. A lot of times our dreams are our fears in real life bothering us.

Oh They say bad dreams are ways to tell us of what we fear. when you are past this, i believe you would be able to see the dream's message for you. Maybe the dream has become a manifestation of what your fears were. Always pray before you go to sleep...

You are right! I think my fear was that my sister replaced me in my fathers heart. I don't know of this is true or not but I do know that my dad and I got into a silly argument a month ago. I haven't spoken to him since. Even though he was in the wrong I reached out to him a few times to try to reconcile but he is not interested. Maybe this dream was a premonition of some sort.
