Dreams and auditory hallucinations
Okay, so, first off, I do know how ludicrous this is, it just rattled me a bit and my opportunities to deal with it are limited before 5am.
I know dreams bear no relationship to reality, however, earlier in the night when I thought I was awake, I heard my father telling me very clearly that (my mother's name) died yesterday evening - just those four words, nothing more. My mother is 84, and our relationship over the years has been a bit fraught (she was severely emotionally abusive to me for very many years) and so this has brought up a whole mess of complex emotions, not least because I can't really call my parents and explain.
Um, yes. Not sure what I want here, it's just early and I'm tired and I'm torn between vague concern that the dream was true and annoyance at myself that I'm not more upset about it.
