How horrid for you, however let me assure you that having dreamt that sort of dream thousands of times it has NOTHING on the REALITY of it being a parent or close family member who is dying and there's nothing you can do.
I once had a dream that I stabbed my horse in the neck so these nasty people couldn't take her away.
Such a relief when I woke up and realised it wasn't real. It took a few minutes for me to realise t was a dream though. I sat up in bed worrying that the RSPCA were coming to get me for about 10 minutes before I reassured myself it was a dream.
It's awful! Woke up today and looked at my phone and texts to see if anything about it. There wasn't and then I remembered I worked last night. Poor pony!
