Some real life backstory on this dream: So my grandmother has been in the hospital and suddenly had a heart attack last Thursday that left her severely brain damaged since she was clinically dead for around 10min and her brain didn't get any oxygen during that time, so thankfully she has survived, and can move a little bit, but no communication with any of us except for opening her eyes to look at us and an occasional expression before she closes them again. Doctors say she will never get better unfortunately but I refuse to believe this. Anyway, in the dream we were living back at the old house and I was just getting back home to find her sitting on the porch like she used to playing with my 2 year old nephew. When I looked at him I noticed he had a very dazed expression on his face and was now clearly a special needs child. That's when I realized my grandmother's consciousness must've merged with his and now my grandmother and my nephew were one in the same. Her body then disappeared completely and was replaced by my mom that was now taking care of her. She could communicate a little bit better than I last saw her and even speak a bit too, but I kept thinking she probably won't get any better than this and will now have a mentality of a 2 year old due to all the brain damage. I went upstairs to her old place since she and my aunt lived upstairs while me, my mom, her bf, and my sister stayed downstairs. I went in the kitchen and started crying a bit but had to stop myself cos I heard people around. I remember feeling grateful that she was still alive though living alongside my nephew in his brain but I wanted her to go back to how she used to be. I believed that eventually she would and my nephew was just a brief segue as she recovered. I woke up after this.
