Dream a little dream

I don't often remember my dreams, but cannot ever shake the ones I do. When I was a child, I had a recurring dream with in which I fought a fire breathing dragon with a sword in order to protect my mom and grandmother. The dreams I remember now are always about mom. After she passed away, she would die in my dreams. Every dream was a different setting, but always the same. Now I dream that she comes home, and I am always upset with her-- Where have you been? How come you never water the plants? Why am I left to take care of all of this on my own?-- And for days after another one of her homecomings, I am left empty.
