THE DREAM - I keep having a reoccurring dream that either my mom or dad are being eaten by different animals. One dream my mom was being carried off by a Rhino and then eaten, I tried to chase after her and help her but I gave up over a period of time. Also I had another one the following night about my dad being eaten by a bear, once again I wanted to help him but I soon gave up.

THE REALITY Recently the dreamer was feeling that she has been spending a lot of time trying to make her parents happy and to make sure that they don't do anything dumb.
