He has been out of town for weeks, working. This has been the most time we&#8217;ve spent away from each other in the duration of our relationship. Justin&#8217;s cousin, same age (21) just died unexpectedly of a defect that he had since birth. The dreams occurred exactly a week after the funeral.<\/p>\n<p>My Dream: I was with Justin and his family. His mom discloses to me out of nowhere that he only has a short period of time to live. I go to talk to him and he does not tell me so I start crying. Every time I see him, I start crying.<\/p>\n<p>When I awoke up from this dream, I could tell that I had been crying in my sleep. Because I was worried, I called Justin at work, and he told me that he had a dream too: He dreamed (the same night) that I shot him. He could tell that it was a small handgun that the police carry &#8212; it was a silver .38. He then attended his own funeral, and his parents and I could see him, but no one else could.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean? And why do we both have dreams on the same night about him dying?<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">\u2014Christy, age 22, engaged, female, Wisconsin<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For the interpretation of the dream, click<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/death-in-the-family-2\/\" id=\"536\" option=\"com_content\">here<\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Tahoma; color: red;\">Back to list of <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/common-dreams\/\" id=\"27\" option=\"com_content\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">common dreams<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[2956,3001],"class_list":["post-35541","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-common-dreams-question","category-death-and-dying"],"acf":{"article_id":"515"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/35541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
