What does it mean if you dream your dad died?

Hello,

So, I’ve been reading peoples answers because I’ve been feeling anxious about this situation.

Just a couple of days ago I had a dream that my dad went to work and I came along with him and then all of a sudden he got murdered by someone that didn’t like my dad and also he worked with, although I’m not really sure how he got murdered because it was all a blur, then after he got murdered I was yelling and crying at the people who was part of the crime (in my dream), then when I woke up I felt horrified, because once in a while I would overhear my dad talking about that someone doesn’t like my dad and my dad don’t like someone in his job. After that dream I had about my dad, it would stress me out, but what made it worse was 2 days later I had another dream about my parents death but this time it was my mom. Me and my mom went out to a family member's house and then when I fell asleep in my dream (Meaning: In my dream I fell asleep) and when I woke up in my dream I’m back at my house, and my dad was there but my mom died, and I didn’t know how she died. Then I woke up IRL with the thought that it might be a sign because first I had a dream about my dad dying and now I'm having a dream about my mom dying.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

(So, yeah I don’t have an answer for this but I honestly need answers 😭)

*Just make sure to show your parents extra love if you ever have a dream about your parents death. Show them how much you appreciate them because we don’t live forever ❤‍🩹*
