Answer :

I know this isn’t quite relevant, but I have a lot of dreams where someone who is still living irl has died, and I wake up afraid that that person really did die. My theory about your dreams is that thoughts of your mother are still very prevalent, so she appears in your dreams. Perhaps your feelings are unresolved, you haven’t reached some kind of closure.
