Who haunts your dreams?

Well, I went to see Skyfall and Daniel C didn't even say hello!

I blame this thread. I had a dream last night that I had two children; one of them was a baby...it wasn't clear if they were my children or grandchildren...and I'd left the baby with someone while I was at work but they didn't know where I lived and I didn't know where they were. On top of this I'd actually forgotten about the baby for several hours. Perhaps this links in with the memory loss thread?

Does anyone else dream of people long gone. My mother died in 1969 at the age of 47 my grandmother died in 1977. Both these women were a huge influence in my life and even now I miss them both. Especially when my children were born and later when my marriage broke up. I've even dreamt about rowing with them. Probably because of unresolved issues or anger at my mother's early death.

Yes; usually my dad but sometimes my mum. And dreams of houses with lots of rooms [unfulfilled ambitions, I believe]. And several dreams in which I don't remember what happens but I know I've had THAT dream again. I desperately want to get back into those dreams so I can understand them; I can even get a 'feel' for that dream at any time [like now] but still don't know what it's about [does that make any sense?].

I empathise with the Gma who said her first husband. Mine haunted my dreams for years. In these nightmares I was always trying to get away - on a train, but I couldn't. In reality I did, and have had a happy second marriage for over 30 years now. It just shows how deeply scarred I am by that first relationship - which lasted for 20 years - we met when I was just 15. Perhaps its my subconscious reminding me how much I value what I have now and how much I love my second husband.
