I had a specific dream last night that I haven't been able to get out of my head all day. My grandmother, or nana as I call her, is sick and dying of cancer. Im not sure of the entire dream but the parts I do remember confuse me. I was in a baby's nursery but I could not see myself. There were baby blocks on the wall where normally a baby's name would be but instead these baby blocks spelled out the name nana. Beneath the blocks was a tombstone and it said R.I.P nana on 11/23/2004 however it is 2011. From what I remember that is when I woke up. I understand how I may be dreaming of my grandmothers death however I do not see how the baby blocks are tied in. If anyone can suggest anything I would appreciate it.

I'm not an expert, but it seems that this dream just reflects how you are dealing with the sickness of your grandmother. Seeing blocks in your dream means basically seeing obstacle that you can't overcome. That you know your grandmother is sick and you feel there isn't anything you can do to make it better. Seeing dates like you did represents the passing of time so maybe you feel that this has been going on long enough.

You could be thinking about how long your grandmother lived (thinking about when she was a baby), or you could just be thinking about life and death in general.

Do you have children or do you ever plan to have children? You could be thinking how your grandmother has "lived on" in her children and how she will "live on" in your children.
