So we see emerging grieving issues.

Where you are very much missing loved ones and wish to see them again.
So it is not you wanting to die, but to be reunited with loved ones.

Yes this is a good point, the conversation with your neighbor.
Dreams often incorporate recent events, and we are thinking and
sorting it out in our dreamwork at night.

Yes you incorporating parts of your daily ritual.
And your wife's comments about your still being strong and youthful.
We don't know what the bruise on the neck is about.
Perhaps also related to the doctor's comments.

Yes your anger at your sib comes out in the dream.
Too damn little, too damn late.

Yes I was aware that the blanket could be the most important part of the dream,
so I am not surprised it was intense. It is an important part of the dream.

I knew it was important, because in every dream there is usually one thing
that doesn't fit. And that was you asking about a blanket after a horrible accident.

What is the significance of keeping you warm?

I see it likely as a positive part of the dream.
While you are anxious and happy to think about death to see your loved ones,
you still want to live.

A blanket keeps us warm and alive.
A cold body means death.

So it appears the dreamer wants very much to live.
