I am normally a very frequent dreamer. I normally remember these dreams and keep them written in a journal by my bed. I also believe that the dreams we have can be messages trying to tell me something. I have not had a dream in almost a week Actually, today will be the one week anniversary of Kamikazi's passing. I had my first dream last night. I dont understand it though.

My husband and I were giving away our remaining dog Cinnamon. I dont kow why we would do this,but it is not indicated in this dream that Kamikazi had passed or if he even exsisted at all. Not one mention of his name. But as we were handing Cinnamon over to the people that were going to take her to her next owner, we dropped her and she broke into several peices on the ground. She was a ceramic dog in the dream. We were picing up the peices of the dog and talking to the people that were supposed to take her, and they said, it is probably better off, ,one of them is not going to be around soon anyway.

Anyway that is the dream. I had a talk with my mom the other day and we were talking about my journey through grief.... and I told her that I feared when she dies because she is my best friend in this world. I have no other friends, and she said she did not think I would have to worry about that. She thinks I am going to go first. I wonder if this dream is just a remnant of that conversation or if it is a sign from God telling me.... one of us ( husbadn or I) will be with Him shortly.

I have asked God for peace and he is working on that... I can tell.... and a sign from my dog that he still loves me, and misses me, and forgives me.

Dreams are so strange. I'm thinking your dream is probably a result from the conversation you and your mom had.

I'm sure that Kamikazee will send you signs...they usually happen when you least expect them.

I think that in your dream you are realizing how precious and fragile life is and how in an instance it could all be over.

Enjoy everyday, welcome your grief as part of life’s process, learn from your feelings and thoughts.

The thing that pops out at me from your dream is that life is fragile as ceramic and can shatter and be gone in an instant ~ In thinking about this today, I am so thankful for every breath ~ I do want to learn to look to every moment as a gift ~ before I lost Amber I was in a idealistic place where I was safe and protected ~ now I feel so much more vulnerable ~ without reference to certain security that I assumed would always be there ~ this is so hard for me ~ I have not dreamed about Amber except once very early on and she was talking to me telling me that her passing was not so hard and that the last breath was easy to get past ~ I have not remembered this dream until now ~ thank you for putting your experience here for it has helped me think about these things anew ~ Sincere Thoughts ~ Kathryn

Dreams are often partially made up of recent events, conversations, etc. I think to try to look for one single answer as to the content of your dream probably is not possible. The aspect of the dream where one of you will be gone shortly could come from a number of things. It could be from the conversation with your Mom and that would probably make the most sense, but it doesn't necessarily mean it is referring to yourself or to your Mom or your husband. Perhaps the loss of your beloved pet is what it is referencing, or the fear of losing Cinnamon. I know that after Romeo died I have had numerous dreams in which my surviving animals were either lost or struck by cars. Romeo was not killed by a car. The meaning of my dreams is clear to me. I am very much afraid of losing my remaining babies. Perhaps the car aspect of my dream is because I lost Romeo without warning, and when a pet is killed by a car, it's not as if any of us knew it was going to happen, otherwise we would have protected our pets to prevent it, so there is no warning. Perhaps the car aspect means nothing and the only real meaning is that I'm afraid to lose what I have left. I'm not sure the ceramic aspect of the dream is that important but it's entirely possible that like other posters have said, it is a reflection of the fragility of life which is now closer to the surface because of the loss your pet. Try not to make yourself crazy looking for a definitive meaning. Chances are that a little bit of what myself, the other posters, and yourself have said are all part of it. God knows I've had dreams that defy explanation. A quick example: About 15 yrs. ago I had a salt water fish tank and my favorite fish was called a Snowflake eel. He was awesome. Anyway, I had a dream where he got out of the tank, jumped on my back and attached himself to my spine, with his tail end latched under my tail bone. If you ever saw the movie Alien, the 1st one, it was like when the alien was attached to that guy's face, except it was my back!!! And I was freaking out in the dream because I couldn't get him off. Hell, when I was a little kid I dreamt Donald Duck made me jump off a bridge!!! Now I know I'm afraid of bridges and I'm not a good swimmer, but I'll be damned if I know what Donald was doing there!!!

I hope this helps you a little and if not, I hope you can get a chuckle out of some of my weird dreams.

I agree that the fact that your doggie was ceramic and broke into little pieces probably expresses your fear of loss of another loved one. I also think that since you dropped Cinnamon you may fear that it will be somehow your fault, your mistake that will lead to loss. Since the people said "one of them will not be around", I think they were referring to your other dog Kamikazi. It would make sense, since it is the only (and very indirect mention) of the one you lost, though your grief over that loss is probably one of the main factors that led you to that dream. I think it is natural for unprocessed thoughts and subconscious fears and feelings to come out in dreams, I have definitely had many negative emotions come out in mine. I don't think you should take it as a sign of any sort though. It is simply your fear, and if you let it reinforce your already consious fear, then what the dream was doing (which is releasing your fear) would be made pointless. I find that if you let your dreams drive you into more fear, you may have more similar dreams later on, since your mind is once again trying to deal with that same fear. I know it's hard not to be afraid at times like these, but I think it's most important to find happiness and peace in this moment, because nothing is forever and we may live only once.
