Dreams about death

I have not been  sleeping well for quite a while, but when I do sleep I sometimes dream about dead people, usually relatives; aunts, uncles and cousins. They are usually reassuring me that death is not to be feared. 

I also have apocalyptic nightmares, but they never contain people that I know. 

Does anyone else  have dreams where they are reassured about death by familiar people?

    They say never meet your heroes, I may make an exception but I don't want to be deluged by fan mail!

  • That’s interesting no more dreams after surgery.

    I don’t enjoy my dreams and am always glad to wake up from them but I don’t remember them in detail x

    In some cultures that would be considered attractive. Open your mind a bit!  And anyway my ears are quite a feature, much sought after in the bear world.

  • Yes the said the tumor was where you make decisions and risk taking.. So i'm glad it's just the dreams and i'm not becoming a big risk taker lol

    Hi Salis

    I have had weird dreams since starting chemo but not about death 

    During my working life I held the hand of many in the night who were alone and dying, so though I don’t want to, it doesn’t frighten me. The one thing they all had in common was looking completely at peace & with serenity - straight afterwards

    It’s bound to be on your mind so the brain doesn’t rest I guess. I have hot chocolate or green tea before bed (and use a lavender pillow spray.)

    Others prefer Sherry or wine!
