Hi Moonbucket: How nice you dreamt of your late mom. I wish I would dream of my mother but it's been some time now. That last dream I had was the very first time she was ever upset with me (in the dream) ....She said something about I wasn't so nice to my grandmother~ That shocked me, because I loved my grandmother and lived with her off and on throughout my life. Perhaps (I thought) it was because I had been reminiscing of the old days and remembering taking my grandmom to the movies to see "2001 a Space Odyssey". This was in the 1970 era. I married in 1971 so it was probably out in 1968. Walking home from the movie I asked her what she thought (she was a straight talker, Scorpio Sun) and she said she didn't like it or understand it. I thought as I mused over this memory I should have taken her to another movie after that one, one she'd like like a love story she always read those comic books.
So in this dream (the last one I had this year) of my mom, she was upset that I had not "treated" my g'mother better. My husband said it's just me, and my concerns, not my mother - My Cayce study group says the same, that Mom would have "moved on" essentially from that kind of holding grudges or upset, and I agree, she never was one to do that anyway. YET, it's the last dream I had of her
So it stays with me now.
Your mother sounded more upbeat, happy to be connecting with you until she lost the connection. You "felt" she got "choked up about something"., and then you couldn't understand. There may be still something she wants to discuss with you so look for her in your dreams to return.
I recall when not long before my daughter died, my mother came to me one night (I heard her call my name very loudly) Mom was a Sagittarius and quite LOUD when she wanted something,
She called my name DEBORAH as she normally would to get my attention and it did. It was the first dream I had of her and everyone else had already heard from her.
So I know that our grief and upset is as concrete a wall as a real one and obstructs their connection to get through. But I do believe your mother - now that she has gotten through will be back to complete the message.
Mine was. And it turned out to be true in the long run. She cried and cried in that dream, and like you it was hard to understand her She said "the children, the children".....and of course a few yrs later I lost our daughter through death , the youngest of 3. After that, the family fell apart, and we lost (her decision to estrange) our Cancer Sun daughter., and the middle one left the U.S.A. So mom warned me all those years ago.
I think your mother likewise is trying to get a message to you. Be alert for it in your dreams. XX(()))
