I know this an age-old question and no one can really answer but I'll ask it anyway.
A close relative of mine has been given a diagnosis of cancer and the prognosis is uncertain. She has had a lot of health issues for some years.
A few months back I had two dreams in quick succession that she was dying. I felt all the emotions very strongly. It was as if I was saying goodbye.
A few nights ago I had another one although it was very vague and I think she had fallen somewhere.
Then last night I dreamed she was writing a text to me. I could see snippets of words and I think she was telling me about coming down to see me. She was talking fairly normally about a few things and people, when suddenly without warning she said 'I love you' and I saw two words written after that which were related to her diagnosis and left me with a sinister feeling. She is not, and never has been, emotionally expressive, so those words would never be spoken by her in real life.
My reaction was dismay (of course) and worry about how we'd all cope without her. But almost instantly after that feeling I woke up with a tremendous jump.
I have to say that although she is very ill she could remain well for a few years and as such I haven't been consciously worrying about her.
Can dreams predict an imminent death or are the dreams simply a product of what's going on in my head?
