I am not a brain surgeon or a neurologist, but from what I understand, the subconcsious mind has alot to do with our concsious mind, and vice versa, and that our memories of physical and emotional experiences can be accessed easily by both concsious and subconscious. Dreams, the way that I percieve them, are made up of memories and extremely minute consciousness, so memories are played out on a seemingly concsious level. Emotions include fear, anxiety, depression, etc., so what may be happening in this case is that the memories of fear or feeling of loss and abaondonment are in play in this dream, even if you have not actualy experienced this exact kind of loss or abandonment. You may be afraid of losing someone close, and you also may fear abandonment of some kind. Fear is nothing to fear, as it is a great preparation tool, but unless you have knowledge of an event that is yet to pass that is similar to your dream, you have nothing to fear.
