Dreaming of my Dad Dying

Home More advice Parents & Family

When I was five my mom died and my half-sister and I both had to go to counseling. In counseling we both admitted that we had had a dream that our mother was burning in a car. There was a tree in both of our dreams and an electric fence. We had not been told any details of our mother's death at the time we were explaining our dream, but we now know that that is exactly how our mother died. Six years later my half-sister's dad died. Again, we had both had dreams of her father dying. When I woke up that morning, when my dad walked in to tell me the bad news, I just started to cry and said "I know, Paul's dead." I was 11 and now I am 13. Lately I have been thinking about my mom and Paul, and how my life would be if they were still around. And then I started having dreams that my dad was dying, or that he was dead. My father has been drinking a lot more than usual now and he smokes. He had to get something removed from his back and he is always going on about how he hopes he doesn't have skin cancer. He also has sleep apneia, the thing my half sister's dad died from. I wake up feeling empty and scared, and I don't know what is going on. I really need help, so please reply!
