When I was little maybe 5 or 6 I would have this reoccurring dream.
I would always wake up crying to it. I must have had it at least four times over a two year span of time.
It started with me and my mom standing on a hill, my mom was wearing a wedding dress. there was nobody else around. then I would leave her and go get a drink of water, when I returned to the hill she was dead and burried under me.
at that point I'd wake up in tears.
I think this dream is in relation to a certain situation you must have been going through or feeling when you were a child. As this is taking place on the top of the hill I would assume it represents a place were you were happy or content on how things were going in your life. The top of the hill would suggest contentment and achievement. Though, as your mom is on the hill could mean your happy with yourself and are nurturing nature that she provides. Also, it could mean that you’re on the top of the hill and your protected from that situation ( I’ll assume) due to your mom being there. The theme of the wedding dress could mean that you may have been feeling unworthy or maybe not important to your mother at that time. As your mom is also at the top of the hill she could also be content with her life and her wearing the wedding dress could mean that she could have been evaluating her contentment or whatever situation she may have been going through also. With the two themes of seeing your mom in the wedding dress and your mom in the wedding dress can show both sides. Though, I think going to take that drink of water is yourself going to take that break but when you come back and see your mom dead and buried could mean that your letting that part/quality of your mother that you liked you lack or have let go of. Though as she is buried and you are basically on her grave could mean that whatever it is , is put to rest and you’re moving on.
I think this dream maybe a ‘growing up’ dream as this was a recurring dream when you were a child. As your content with your life as a child and your mom being there on top of the hill with you and protecting you. In the end her dying could mean you’re letting go of that protection The dream could show that nurturing, caring nature she has and as she dies could mean you’ve let that aspect of that quality of your mother in you die also. Though, this also can be taken a different way with the wedding dress seeing your mother in the wedding dress could also mean you felt ignored , or maybe you were ignoring this quality of your mother in yourself.
It’s hard to tell because there isn’t much background information. And plus because this dream happened so long ago you’d have to know what you were going through around those times of the dreams.
I hope what I said helped in some way
Well I am niot certain what the different symbols meant to you. Was your mother a single mother? Was she happily married?

I believe that the dream mind thinks in exactly the same way as the day to day mind. that embedded in dreams is a language just as complex and sophisticated as the english language. When in real life we say "I felt really targeted by my boss yesterday" then your dream may feature a line such as "I was being shot by my boss who was holding a rifle". The dream mind is expressing the exact same idea but merely in pictures and feelings. My website tries to show how real life emotions can be translated in such a way. The following two pages feature a dream dictionary which explores the many ways in which symbols can translate into real life emotions and a series of dreams which have been explained in detail.

One question is what was going on when you were 5 and 6? It sounds like your mother got married back then to your step father.
Perhaps she was dying of loneliness, or perhaps she got married and was no longer the mother you knew.
My mom was married at that time, she and my dad were never divorced, so I don't have step-parents. weather my mom was lonely or happy at that time, I was to little to know. Sorry I can't provide much backround info, it was so long ago. But thank you for your help! :)
