I dreamed I was out with my deceased mother and we sat at a small table with one unknown person and the other was a famous singer/actor. After spending time with them we went off to an outdoor swimming area. Mum got in but there were no steps and she’d just jumped in but I’m Afraid of water and couldn’t drum up the nerve. I eventually found a lower ledge and was then able to jump in. I was worried because when I got in she was laying on the bottom and I was scared she was dead but she suddenly came up to the top and she was fine. Strange, when in waking life, she had passed. We eventually got out and went for coffee and someone opened up specially so we could have cheesecake
