I'm sorry to hear about your mother. Even though they're only dreams, the emotions they invoke can be extremely real.
I broke up with my boyfriend in my last dream over a rather complicated matter. In the waking world, I can understand why he'd do it and can only hope that we work things out. I know I shouldn't care so much, because in the waking world, we just got engaged, so we're fine here, but I'm hoping for a happy ending in the dreams as well.
