A female Canada age 26-29, anonymous writes:

K, this is going to get a little personal..

But I have been feeling like my past has come back to haunt me, the last while.. I am a teenager, so I am kind of hormonal, soo I don't know if I am over exaggerating or what?

So last night I had a crazy dream, LIKE crazy.. my family isn't close now, and my parents are divorced I don't see my dad, if I do it's like once every 5-6 years.

So in my dream, my parents were together, my grandma lived with me, and I have a brother but he past away.. and he was still dead in my dream, but he was like an angel, and I went shopping with my mom, and went out for dinner with my family, and these angels. So I walked back home with my grandma at like 12:00 at night. And I herd noises in the sky, and like flashes.. Like roaring noises, and the sky lit up in different colors.. and it was angels talking to me. And then I went home, and I was kinda of weird ed out, I did not know what was happening, so I got home at 1 in the morning. No one herd those noises except me. I got home at 1, and I herd a knock on the door.. I was really scared. My mom told me to answer it, but I was to scared, so she did but I was like NO NO NO DONT ANSWER IT. And she did.. there was a carriage outside, and then a girl angel came out, and 2 boy angels came out.. they were small but not that small, and walked in my house, and talked to me saying how my brother was doing.. and there was a head angel, they told me to go on facebook, and message the head angel, so i did.. and I was talking to my brother, on facebook while he was in heaven and he was telling me how he was doing, and what it's like up there, and I was so happy..

I was soo happy in my dream, like I had no stress. I felt perfect, all the weight that i feel on my shoulders, were off.. I just felt free like I could fly.

But it's all starting to hit me now, Just this year beginning of 2012, before it never hit me, my past.. it happened when I was young too, my brother died when I was 2, and my parents divorced when I was 5.. and when I was 4 my little brother was born. So why is it all coming back now?

And some of the stuff in my dream happened in real life. Like I went shopping with my mom in my dream, and in real life..

In real life I herd noises and in my dream.. In my dream I heard hellicopters and roaring, in real life I just heard hellicopters.

So why is it all effecting me now? I was to young to understand all this anyways. I have flash backs and everything, i cry my self to sleep at night because of this. And before it never bugged me, i was happy and everything and now.. I can't be happy.. I try to be with my friends and I am not happy.. like yeah they think I am happy.. but really I am not, and some days at school I go totally depressed. And they ask why and I just don't want to talk with them.. I talked to my other friend about it, because she is going through the same thingish.. and she said it was god talking to me. Telling me things.

A male reader, no nonsense Aidan United Kingdom +, writes (27 April 2012):

It’s very common for events in our dreams to reflect those things that have happened in real life.

What’s more important is your feelings about what happened with the death of your brother when you were very young. You mustn’t think that because you were so young it didn’t affect you, or that you shouldn’t now be grieving when you’re older and better able to understand. People rarely understand grief properly. People do not just grieve over what they’ve lost, but also what they’ve never had. You had a brother that you never had a chance to get to know, do you sometimes wonder what he might have been like? Growing up, I’d imagine that people spoke about him, shared photos and memories? How do you feel about not having known him long enough to have memories of your own?

It’s perfectly okay for you to feel angry, sad or depressed about this-it must seem very unfair. I think it’s important that you don’t try and read too much in to a single dream, and that you instead focus on working out what the cause of your unhappiness is, it may indeed be grief for what you never had. I’d really encourage you (and I know it’s very tough) to talk about your feelings with any friends or family members that you trust. Maybe they can help you to deal with whatever it is that’s making you upset, or sometimes it just takes sharing our problems with some-one to make us feel a little bit better. Just remember that what you’re feeling is not silly, not an exaggeration or anything like that. Don’t be worried about sharing this and asking for help. You’ve already been brave enough to write about this on this web site.

I wish you all the very best.
