Dreams about family, particularly parents, often reflect your feelings about your relationships and your concerns for their well-being. In your dream, your mother’s sudden illness could symbolize your fears or anxieties about losing loved ones or changes in family dynamics. It may also indicate a deeper emotional connection to your parents and a sense of responsibility you feel towards them.

The act of taking care of the lawn represents nurturing and looking after your family, suggesting that you may feel a desire to support them or protect them in real life. The presence of your old neighbors expressing condolences could signify a longing for community support during difficult times or a reminder of the importance of connections in your life.

Crying in the dream reflects your emotional release and the weight of these feelings. This dream may be urging you to confront any unexpressed fears or emotions regarding your family and to cherish the time you have with them. It might be helpful to communicate with your parents about your feelings and spend quality time with them, as this can strengthen your bond and alleviate some of your anxieties.
