I was scared to take care of my moms house, she died, but the house had cats and dogs and I wouldn't help
Dreams of deceased loved ones often symbolize unresolved emotions or issues related to the person in the dream. In this dream, the fear of taking care of your mom's house after she has passed away might represent an underlying fear of handling the responsibility and burden associated with the loss of a loved one. The cats and dogs in the house could represent unresolved feelings or emotions as well - perhaps things that you have neglected, or tasks that you have not addressed.
The unwillingness to help could indicate feelings of guilt or remorse. It might be worth reflecting on whether there is anything that you wished you could have done while your mom was alive. Alternatively, you may be feeling a sense of powerlessness and helplessness, and this dream could be an expression of those emotions.
Ultimately, this dream could be trying to reveal to you that there are some emotions or frustrations that you need to acknowledge and address. Processing your emotions and finding ways to cope with the loss of your mother can help relieve some of the anxiety you are experiencing.
