I Have Dreamed Many Dreams(both)

Last nights dream took me by surprise.
For some reason I went looking for my Mother whom I have not seen or spoken to in 49 years.
If she was still alive she would be about 92.
There were several people with me, though I do not know who they were. Also two dogs accompanied me. A Pug and not sure about the other one.
I had heard that she lived on Devine Rd in a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania.
So I ended up in a hotel in that suburb and was asking everyone there where Devine Rd was. No one knew where Devine Rd was.
The only thing to do was to go door knocking, asking people where the Rd was. We all traipsed out of the Hotel and began knocking and asking. For hours this went on and it was now dark. Finally one Lady told me where it was and we set out.
When finally we reached the house it was about 10 pm, I knocked on the door, a lady answered but I could not see her face because she never turned a light on, afraid of strangers?
So I asked her if she was Margaret, and used her married name when she was my Mother but I instantly corrected myself and used her new married name.
She said yes and I told her who I was. She tentatively said, "Well come in but only you, not all those other people and definitely not those mutt Pugs.
I still had not seen her face, she stepped aside to let me in. I walked past her into a totally dark house, she shut the door and I woke up.

Whatever happened that you stopped talking to her? I think there's a lot of unresolved feelings and spoken words :/

@SW-User My Mother left us when I was 7 and I never knew where she went. Plus in those 7 years she beat us kids mercilessly so I have never wanted to get in touch with her.
I have no familial feelings towards her. Who would? After 49 years?
It was years later that my Father told me her address. I never sought her out.

@Gusman yeah it makes only sense. I used to dream about certain people a lot when I didn't get full closure. After I talked to them, these dreams stopped. So I suppose you still think about it.

@SW-User It is extremely rare that her memory comes into my head. Probably once every 8 years or so. Which is why I was surprised by the dream.
I still have no inclination to seek her out.

@Gusman My mother was like that too but you were luckier than I was! 😢 I've had similar dreams, it's from unresolved issues.💔

@Peaches I assume I was lucky in the fact that my Mother left when I was so young and she was out of my life. Your Mother was there all the time?

@Gusman Yes, that was what I meant.
