I recently lost my family home in a nasty divorce. For context I am 25 and still lived with my parents until their divorce. We had a long battle, and ultimately it sold in August. I've been living in an apt about half an hour away with my mother and brother- both of whom I support. I pay for it all besides their food. (they have insurance via the state but I have no type of aid for them).

Anyway, as of a week and a half I've been having the same recurring dream that leaves me waking up soaked in tears, although I don't know why or what to do to stop it. I cry so hard in my dream I wake myself up.

In the dream I am visiting the family home. It's all different- repainted, different furniture etc. Every Time I am there there couple who bought the home is there along with 2 kids (not sure of the ages but I would say 10-15). Weird thing is the couple who bought the home doesn't have young kids. Their kids are 30 .

The layout is the same of the house it just all looks different. One thing stands out though. The room that was supposed to be mine is all White. No furniture, nothing. It also seems to just go on for ages as I don't see the walls at all. It' just all white.

I am not sure why I wake up crying. All I know is I am losing sleep over this. I'm not sure why it's on my mind. I moved back in August, and I've hated my new apartment since day one but it's all we could find that was 2 bedrooms. My friends think it's because of my stress supporting everyone. To me that makes some sense but why now? Why 5 months into living there?

Anyone have any insight into it? Also, any idea why I am waking myself up crying? Nothing happens in the dream I just walk around the home.
