Hello everyone, I am new here so I didn't know where to start. So maybe what I am about to ask you will fall under this category.

This story is about me and my mother. Ever since I was kid, I used to have a weird dream. I used to dream that I am walking down a road along with a friend or someone else (not so important bit), but suddenly the road ended in front of a coconut tree in a random garden. And every time I saw the tree in my dream, I used to feel this fear which is unexplainable. The fear was intense and it actually pained me how scary it was. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the tree or I didn't know why I feared it, but I did. I never told this to anyone. And gradually, I stopped dreaming about it. But one night I had the same nightmare but this time, something was different. I dreamt that near the tree, were a few women standing. They were beautiful! But as soon as I went near them, they turned unearthly looking. Not monster movie unearthly, actually scary unearthly. And they tried to drag me inside this house, of which the tree was a part of. I woke up and that was the last time I had that dream till this day.

Now the interesting part of it is, after a long time all this happened, I told my mother about this nightmare I used to have. She looked very shocked. Got to know from her that when she was little, she lived in a house similar to that of my dream and yes, along with a coconut tree in the garden. Every description matched. The house was at the end of a long road, the tree, the color of the doors. Then I told her about the other nightmare about the scary girls, she told me she used to dream the same dream when she was young too. Except she remembered a lot of details,which I don't remember from my dream. The scary bit is, she told me that the house she lived in when she was little was 'haunted'. She never saw anything but her family members did and so did her guests who went to that house. But she did tell me she was very scared of the tree. Every afternoon, at a particular time, her dog would run to the tree and start barking at it.

Now I know it all seems unbelievable, because I myself couldn't believe it when she told me this. I almost cried, because words can't explain the fear that nightmare used to leave in my mind.
Can anyone please tell me what all this about? Is it psychological or something else. After all these years, I need to know.

Thank you.
