Okay, the other night, I had this dream or nightmare or whatever it was about not being able to see my mom. Now granted, there are things going on in my life that include my mother; but I think this goes WAY beyond anything that would remotely relate to our relationship. It was supposed to be the night that the world ended and the sun would blow up and everything like that. Well, I was with my two younger siblings, my dad, and my step mom, and we were trying to find my mom so we could spend our last hours alive together. -by this point in my dream, I thought everything was really happening- I tried calling her and she wouldn't answer and we drove everywhere looking for her. We ended up at this river that I had recognized from another dream I had. There were hundreds of people at this river with their families just waiting. I still hadn't been able to get ahold of her and I went insane. I ran off into the woods screaming and crying just wanting it to all go away. One of my friend grabbed me and told me to be with my family while I still could. So, I went back and waited for my mom to show up, but she never did. I started to have flashbacks of her when she was a teenager and of old photos of her that I've never seen before. I snapped out of my flashbacks and was with what was left of my family again. I held onto everybody as tight as I could as I cried and counted down in my head, the seconds before midnight struck. As I counted down to one and said 'I love you' to everyone, I closed my eyes and waited for the worst. Then nothing happened. Everbody was quiet. THE WORLD WASN'T ENDING AFTER ALL! Once again, I went looking for my mom and didn't find her. Then my dream ended. After I had woken up, I started to really think about my mother... and count my blessings! What do you think it means?

I think it means that you want to count your blessings.
Your dream reminds me of Christmas this year with my 92 year old dad. I gave him an old watch and it stopped at midnight on the dot. I wondered if that meant anything...

Dreams are often highly exaggerated. No one knows why - yet. Or even why we need them.
At any given time on the planet, there are about 5 people (known anyway) who never sleep, never NEED sleep. They have been studied and still no one knows why. All the rest of us need sleep and dreams or we go temporarily insane.
