Child, Niece and Attorney Dying in one dream

[TomE]

I am a divorced father of an 11 yo and 7 yo boys. I have a very close relationship with my children, so close that people have told me that I would make a better mother to them then their mother. Anyway, last night I had the most horrible dreams. I dreamt my younger son had gone deaf and we had to change his name because he could read our lips. I also dreamt he died I don't remember how. I dreamt I was swimming, there was a boy there about 7 yo, and I think I was going to adopt him because my son died. I also dreamt my niece died and I was wondering or discussing with my sister why she was having the wake at a particular funeral home a few towns away from where she lives. I dreamt I gave money to the dead. I placed checks under what I thought was their gravestone. But later realized it was not a gravestone and retrieved the checks. I dreamt my attorney (and friend) died and I had to show them where to bury him. When I woke, I immediately went into my son's room to check on him, he was fine. What a messed up night and I don't really know what to make of it all. If it helps, I am 43, divorced for about a year and a half, been seperated three years, own my own buisness, have a lot of debt but still managing to hang in there, I lost my Mom about a year and a half ago, Lost my Dad about 16 years ago and I come from a very big family.
