I have no idea who the woman or girl were?

The only thing I can equate it to is my father is terminally ill with cancer and we are not sure how long he has left? But I do not really see how they are linked.

When my brother died 7 (nearly 8) years ago, I had vivid dreams of him being late for his own funeral and running past us all with a "flat packed" cardboard coffin under his arm That I can understand but this one has me baffled?
