 Dream about my brother dying.
A week or so ago I had dream about my brother dying, we were all very upset about it, my father in particular. I can't remember all the details about what happened but at one stage I was at our local train station and I turned to see what I thought was his ghost. He was smiling at me, telling me that he was back. I told him he was dead. He smiled and said that he knew that, was very sorry about it but that now he was back and to tell Dad. I was worrying how family and friends react if I told them he was back.
I've been thinking about this dream ever since and when I heard on the radio of a fatal car crash on a freeway that runs near his house I was fearful it was him. I had to work out where the on ramp it happened was and realised it was the one before his one.
He quit his job just before Christmas last year, decided to take some time off before finding a new job. He started a new job about 2 weeks ago andalso started his own business at the same time. He had the business plans in motion before he got the job, it was coincidental that they started at the same time. I had been (as have Mum and Dad) worried that the business might not bring in enough for his mortgage and living expenses. Dad seemed to play a big part in the dream, ie he was so worried, we were on the local train station (Dad was stationmaster there before retirement) and he was who I was most worried about, but I don't remember him being in the dream.
What I am thinking is that the dream was telling me that he is now on a new path in his life and that he isn't going to die. That in effect it was the death of his old life and the rebirth of his new life, that the business and his new job is a change for the better.
Does anyone else have any other explainations?
I have dreams that predicted deaths before but the person involved has not actually died in my dreams. In one I was surrounded by ghosts who were demanding I go with them, I got a tap on the shoulder and turned to see an old family friend who told me that he would go instead of me. He died of cancer the next day.  |
