My mother, who I adored, died 3 years ago. I had my last dog put to sleep 1 year ago.
In my dream I knew they were dead. I was walking with them. We climbed a sandy bank up to a chain-link fence found a hole in the fence and climbed through. We stood by the side of a twin track railway line. An engine went by from left to right very slowly with two men in the cab. One of them pointed at us and they both stared. I picked up my dog, took my mother by the hand and we crossed both tracks to the other side. I looked in the direction the engine had gone and saw the two men on the station platform along with several others. One of them pointed at us and said "look, they have crossed the line". They appeared to be angry. I knew I had to confront them so I let go my mothers hand put down my dog and walked towards them..
This dream didnt worry me but I am puzzled by it. Does it have a meaning?
RE: Dead mother & pet dog
Loss of any kind is terrible to bear and it is only when you have a dream such as yours that you realise that the healing process is almost complete.
I think that your dream was trying to tell you that you've come to terms with your mother's death, as well as the passing of your dog. You feel that they are together now and you are comforted by this. Your need to protect them is still very much evidenced by the feeling that you had to confront the people on the platform. This was a beautiful dream and I do really believe that you can be safe in the knowledge that both your mother and your dog are watching over you.

Hi crazygirl.
As I woke from the dream I remember feeling warm & at peace. This seems to sit well with your interpretation. Thanks for your help.

RE: Dead mother & pet dog
I dont know much about dreams but I wonder if this was a 'visit' from your Mum and dog. The whole point about 'crossing the line' and the fact that you knew in real life that they were gone from this world makes me wonder whether it was their way of getting in touch.

Thanks Lyssa.
Why do you think they would want to get in touch?
My brother died 15 years ago when he was 42. I was very close to him & we grew even closer the sicker he became. About two years after he died I had just one dream in which I met him, he smiled, poked out his tongue at me and said "what are you looking at"? in his typical cheeky way. Again I remember waking with a feeling of warmth & peace. Do you think that maybe they were letting me know they are o.k.?
One thing that puzzles me is that I was so close to both my brother & mother & yet in all these years I have dreamt of each of them just once though I think of them every day.
