DH's bad dream...I died!

Wow. It's the day before surgery and my DH tells me about his dream last night! Basically there was a tornado coming towards our house. I was on the computer, refused to get off of it and I was swept away and ultimately killed by the tornado!!! What a wild dream! Then, being the day before surgery, I had to think....maybe this is a sign. Maybe I shouldn't have the surgery. Maybe I have been spending too much time on the board because of my anxiety (I know I have). Maybe it's my DH's fears of what MIGHT happen. Maybe, just maybe it was JUST a bad dream! This is just great....something else to weigh on my mind the day before surgery! Claudette

Hi Claudette - Who is DH? I am with you in many regards - tomorrow is our big day and the thoughts of our own mortality are running rampant in both the conscious and subconscious thought. As I was walking the dog this morning I had thoughts of heartattacks on the table cuz I saw it in a show the day I got my second denial from the insurance company. I've decided that ultimately 1) there is no room for complications. 2) I have confidence in my body 3) I have confidence in the surgeon and will let God guide his hands 4) I have confidence in the pre op testing and clearance from the cardiologist, pulmologist and others. They all made it clear that if I was not ready I sure as hell would not be going thru surgery. And then I adopted a new technique suggested by another one of our board buddies - visualize everything including being happy after surgery, walking the halls and quickly returning home to heal and continue life. And then that flash of me in a bikini (Ok that's still FANTASY but you get the point!!!) Despite some 'concerns' along the way I've not waivered in my desire to move forwrad and transforming my life to be all I can be. Tap into this thought and while we're on the toilet enjoying today's bowel prep, think of all the years of obesity, pain, frustration, poor health (literally) being flushed down the toilet and how you're being cleansed for your new life. I, too, have been clinging to this site and will be on the computer all day so dont hesitate to write and I also welcome some phone time. We're in this together!!!! Big hugs and lots of friendship, Tiffany

DH = Darling Husband It is probably your DH being anxious. That can surely cause dreams!! It's normal to have anxiety at times like this. You think of what might happen. And you always lean towards the "worse" cinarios too. I guess we think nothing good is ever going to happen to us. But let me assure you the sun is rising and what a beautiful day we have ahead of us!! I will keep you in my prayers! Good Luck on your surgery. Hugs, Julie

Hang in there Claudette It's common to dream of losing a loved one when you know they will be in danger. Hell my sister barely talked to me for the two days before my surgery. She was very scared for me and justed didn't want to let me know. Keep thinking positive and letting the people you care about know that they are loved and valued. You will be on the other side very soon. It will be so great to have someone who loves and cares about you at your side as you go through this lifechanging experience. Just keep your focus on the "end in mind", a happier, healthier you!!!!! See you soon on the other side. Regards and hugs, Ronna

DH -darling husband - dont yet have one of those but ISO!!

Thanks everyone! I know my husband and I have both been anxious with the upcoming surgery. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Love to you! Claudette

Hi Claudette, Hope this makes you feel at ease. Usually when we dream the opposite is true or they just mean different things. When you dream of death it may mean someone is being born which in this case will mean you. I would interrpret the dream as after your surgery this will be your new birthday. We are beginning our lives all over. And, I am right with you on this site~clinging. Dawn

Going off of what Dawn said - dreaming of death is usually a GOOD thing: Dream symbol: death death, die, dying, died Interpretation: A death within a dream usually denotes imminent or current transformation, a new birth or a new beginning Completion, ending, finality Something that needs to released or changed Dreaming of the dead may suggest suppressed grief Given that spouses serve as powerful mirrors, dreaming of the death of a spouse may symbolize dying to unwanted personal traits or aspects of self, which are usually perceived as the spouse's shortcomings Hugs, Beth

Hi Claudette! Like Beth said, your DHs dream means transformation..or maybe it means you've been spending too time here..lol. You can maybe this dream into the ground..remember it is just a dream. Everything will be fine. Stay positive. Relax. Enjoy your day. I wish you the best on your surgey and a speedy recovery Deb
