Thread: Dreams of illness

Hi,

My dad has recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer and is degenerating very quickly. However, he remains hugely positive and will not accept his mortality, which makes myself and my family have huge amounts of hope in this difficult time.

Recently, however, he's been having weird dreams; as a newbie to dream interpretation and being only vaguely familiar with some works on it, the meaning of these dreams have passed me by. Despite this, one dream has stood out to me, because I'm sure I've heard of such a motif before. This is the dream:

My dad's lying in his double bed. He isn't ill but there is a man next to him on the bed who is. Dad realises this man is cold and is trying to wrap him up, but despite his efforts, he finds it increasingly difficult to keep this man warm.

Sorry that I can't tell you more, but I don't want to bother my father by asking more questions about this. If anybody has any suggestion about what this might mean or indicate, then I'd be hugely grateful to hear your response.

I have to admit I'm not a religious person, but have great faith in people's ability to overcome obstacles through sheer force of will. I want to believe so much that my dad can beat this, but please be honest.

Thanks so much in advance,
