My dad died a year ago, my mother two years ago [View all]

My relationship with them was, well, complicated

I still loved them both, despite the complications

But after their deaths, I started having lots of dreams about them

Even before my dad's death -- he had a stroke that left him in a very compromised state for seven years -- I would have dreams of him suddenly coming to and back to his old self

In some of those dreams he would say how proud of the way I managed his money during his stroke days

In some of those dreams we were back at the family cabin

In some of those dreams we were at a hotel and I kept trying to find a way out

Anyway, those dreams are becoming less and less frequent

Even though I woke up stressed from those dreams, I miss them

Is this normal?
