My 67 year old mom has dreams of her deceased sister nearly every night. She also frequently dreams about deceased brothers, and her mom and dad, who have both long passed. She has become very disturbed by this lately, thinking it means she will soon join them.

Tell your Mom, that she should be comforted by these dreams not frightened by them. Her relatives are there watching over her they are not there to take her. Maybe your Mom is feeling lonely seems like a lot of her family has already passed away. Is she the only one left? She could be missing them and feeling sad about this during her waking hours and brings it into her sleep hours. She dreams about them because they are trying to bring her comfort. Also let your Mom know when it is her time to go that they will be waiting for her to welcome her but that they have no part in the process of her joining them. I would talk with your Mom and try to find out what is upsetting her during the waking hours. I know from talking with my Grandma (89) it gets harder and harder each year as more and more of their family and friends die. Even though they have new friends and younger family members there is no one they can say "remember when this happened". This is my Grandmothers biggest complaint in aging. Good Luck

Your mom is 67, that's far from old with one foot in the grave! She has some good years left in her. As for her dreams, well ... experts say that every person in your dream is a symbolic version of you or something about you that you need to deal with. That dreams provide a way to deal with data in a sleeping state that you otherwise might not be seeing when you are awake.
If your mother is having a recurring dream, there are no doubt parts of it that keep repeating and those are the issues that need to be dealt with.
Have her write down the dream each time it appears and I am willing to bet that you will find something.
As for the people in your dreams, look at how you see those people or what part about them you like most, or what part of their personality makes you identify with them most. This is the part of you that your dream is helping you see. Was her sister strong, ambitious, shy, secretive? Something your mother isn't? These are the things she needs to look for.
I've included a link below to a dream dictionary so that you can look up other symbols that may appear over and over again in her dreams.
Recurring dreams won't go away until you figure out why they are there in the first place, which means finding the issue and dealing with it.

It could mean that because of her age. I dream of my relatives that have past and I was told that it's because I miss them. I think this is true. When I dream of someone for a couple of days in a row, I usually go to the cemetary to visit and then I don't dream about them for awhile.
Good Luck!

well, i know it sounds stupid, but your mum dream about them like what?
I mean, are they in the dream happy or sad?
if happy, they are telling you that they are ok, there.
If the other way, it means that you should pray for them more.
I only got that kind of dream once, about my deceased aunt.
I dream that My family are having a dinner with my other relatives, but at one of the chair, i saw her.
She was smiling and she came to me and gave a photograph of her.
I told my parents and they said that my aunt is ok, there.

She is getting older and is not only being flooded with memories of these people but also is possibly losing some of her short term memory which makes the older memories more prominent and numerous to her. She should possibly go to the doctor if there is anything else going on such as forgetfulness with disorientation. Or she should relax and accept her older age and embrace the memories. It does not mean she is "joining" them soon.

My grandmother constantly instructed us teenagers that on each and every occasion we dream of all and sundry who has kicked the bucket that we would desire to assert a prayer for the guy. So definite your mom is suited. asserting a prayer for the guy will positioned their soul to kick back. in my opinion i like to have desires bout people who've kicked the bucket it brings me a sprint convenience. asserting a prayer is the remarkable element to do no rely how plenty you like (or dont like) the purposes.

these dreams are normal for people her age..
its all in her subconcious...
every thing starts to unfold again with her memories.
the only time she should be afraid of the death part is if these dead relatives tells her in the dream that they have come for her.
but for now its harmless.
