So about a year ago I had a “dream” (10/10 a nightmare) that my mum died in a car crash on the motorway. This year, halfway through a perfectly nice and normal dream that I now can’t remember, my brain decided to revisit last year’s dream and make an anniversary out of it. In this dream, I went to the bridge over the spot on the motorway where my mum died and put up a banner saying “Remember *her name*. The most amazing mother” over the edge of this bridge for everyone to see and so whoever crashed into her (apparently a hit & run) will see it & feel guilty. The panels on the bridge are glass so I wrote in a permanent chalk marker “*Her name*, born 15/11/1967, taken 17/03/17. One year anniversary of her death that came too soon. She was the most incredible mum, daughter, wife, friend, sister, auntie, everything. A truly pure human.” I take a picture of it and post it on Facebook and I’m getting all these comments from my friends and family, like “sorry for your loss”, and even my dad (my parents are split up) commented saying “she was an amazing woman who will be missed and was taken too soon from all of us”. Then the police come and tell me that I can’t put this up on the bridge. And I’m arguing back saying: “People put flowers and toys at sides of the road all the time, with posters and photos and sometimes even items of clothing, which is just as distracting. She is my mother, she deserves to be remembered by everyone. And she deserves justice but she’s not getting any because your department aren’t doing their jobs. I haven’t heard anything about the case since last year!” Woke up crying. Conscious brain still couldn’t accept that it wasn’t real and my mum is okay. Never felt so attacked by a dream in my life.
AI generated interpretation This dream may be interpreted as a reflection of your feelings of helplessness and frustration in the wake of your mother's death. You are expressing your need to commemorate her life and to seek justice in her death, while also feeling powerless to do so. The dream is a manifestation of your suppressed emotions, and the police in the dream may represent a feeling of being powerless and unable to have control over the situation. Your dream may also be a sign that you need to find some closure and acceptance for your mother's death, and it may be beneficial to talk to someone about your feelings in order to better understand and process them.
