I too had an extremely upsetting and distressing dream about loss. My brother and I (I do not have a brother in waking life) were dating twins.

We started off in the morning planning a day out at the lake, going out on a boat for the day. The girls left to grab some things and were supposed to come back. They never did. Turns out they were kidnapped.

The cops by the end of the day found out where they had been taken to and raided this sick twisted guy's house and found them. My brother and I were told one survived, the other did not. We rushed to the hospital.

The fear and hope I felt were incredibly intense. I have rarely had emotions so strong in the waking life.

We got to the hospital and got to the room. Turns out that it was the girl my brother was with, my girlfriend had been the victim that was murdered.

I went through an intense and overpowering range of emotions from despair, loss, confusion, sorrow and an anger I have never felt in real life towards the murderer. When I woke after that those feelings lingered for the entire day.
