Dream: Recurring dream of my deceased mother.
I dream that she is dead, has just been embalmed and when I see her lying there she suddenly awakens and is alive again. She appears perfectly healthy and normal. I ask her how she can be alive as she has just been embalmed. I awaken before I receive an answer.
I feel very happy that she is alive but very confused about how that can be.
