upsetting dream?

Question

I had this dream last night that my husband had a heart attack whilst at work and died before I could get to the hospital.

He is at work now and I have been at home in tears this morning thinking about it. It just made me think what would I do without him. How would I tell the children.

I know my husband has a bad heart and was told he probably would not live past 30. He is 35 now. Do you think I had this dream because I am subconciously thinking about it all the time. Or do you think it maybe a warning to prepare myself!!

It's left me feeling really paranoid and I keep expecting the phone to ring. The dream was so vivid!!!

Please help!! I need advice. Genuine answers please!!

Answer 1

This seems straightforward enough - very simply, you are worried that your husband will go before you have a chance to do anything about it. Well, thanks to your subconscious shouting it out, you've been given that chance now to make the most of everything now.

Write a wish list (places to visit, books to read, etc etc), make a memory box, write letters (not just your husband, both of you) for your children to read when they're older, make a family pact to have your evening meal together every day, to go for walks together once a week, to always kiss each other when you say goodbye & hello, whatever is special to you & your family.

Your husband may go tomorrow, he may live until he's 100, you might get hit by a bus on your way to work...

I am a person who is always very interested to know/find out 'what dreams mean'. I have a book that I use alot to interpret my own dreams, and I have looked up your dream based on the info in your question. There is nothing in the book that resembles your dream, which I take to mean that it doesn't mean anything, therefore I would think that it is safe to say it is just your subconcious, and that you really have nothing to worry about. I know it is easier said than done, but try to stop thinking about it as it will only make you more paraniod and more worried and that wont do you or your family any good. I think it is a pretty good sign that hes has gone 5 years more than he was told he would, but if you are still concerned, tell your husband about the dream and discuss it with him, or to put your mind at rest, ask him to go see his doctor, just to be certain. However, like I said, I really dont think you have anything to worry about! Good Luck!

I had a dream last night that I had been burgled for the 3rd time and I couldn't replace any of the stolen items, I can remember feeling very upset and anxious throughout my dream.
It's not the first time I've had this but it did start just before my brother got broke in to,and after a few weeks he got broke into again.
Ijust put it down to some of the worries and stresses I tend to not think about when I'm awake.
Maybe you should phone your husband and tell him?
If not why not cook a nice dinner tonight and enjoy!!!!!

You dreams come from your unconcious mind and usually they do have a connection to our real life but not in the straight forward way that we think. For example death in a dream is supposed to mean the end of something, the end of a career, friendship, anything really. If you dream of being pregnant or having a baby it can mean that you n e e d to pay attention to your own needs, your taking on too much of someone elses responsibility, or subconciously you want kids. The best thing to do is go online or buy a dream dictionary book. Make a journal of all your dreams, write them down as soon as they happen and try to analize them though the dream. If you are having a reacurring dream that you want to get rid of you need to figure out what it means, ie dream dictionary and try to resolve the issue that the dream is referring to.

Hi hunny,
dreams are the results of our brains working overtime when we are asleep. Sometimes they can be interpretted as being events of the future, but these are usually only good things, not bad.
As humans we are unable to predict when, where or how we die.
Your husband passing the age predicted for him is a very good sign indeed and I don't think you have anything to be worried about. Dreams are very vivid sometimes and they can seem so real that they can scare us into believing that they will come to pass. Don't worry, everything will be OK.

Answer 6

You are most definitely having these thoughts in the back of your head. It must be terrible living with the fear of loosing a loved one. Because it is usually unbearable to think about you are supressing the thoughts thus turning them into dreams.
Make sure that your husband is taken care of by professional medical staff and that he gets checked every so often and try to live your lives to the fullest:)

Answer 7

It is the way your subconscious mind has chosen to get you ready to face not having him anymore, so when it happens, you will be better prepared, having gone through part of the grieving process already. Recent advances in cardiology should be investigated. Ensure plenty of photos and videos, for them to remember him by, should the worst happen.

Answer 8

I think both of those answers are correct. You are preparing yourself subconsciously and your husbands health is constantly on you mind. You need to come to grips with the truth of the situation, so that you can get the most happiness out of the remaining time you have with you husband. If you are down trodden because of his condition, you will cheat him out of the few years of happiness he has left. Be thankful for the time you have left with him and make the most of it.

Answer 9

please don't be so nervous.nothing will happen with ur husband. u can just call him and check if he is all right. i'm sure he is. if u continue to feel paranoid that will react badly to your children and husband too. all the time u think about it and the fear makes u feel paranoid. i understand that its really hard but don't make it worse with your paranoy. call him yourself and u will calm when u know that he is ok. don't make ur life horrible. live happily. and pray for ur family, for the health of ur husband. god bless u

Answer 10

You can never really be prepared, Hon. Just take it a day at a time and enjoy and remember the times you have together.
