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. Now what may be happening in your case is that your subconcsious is accessing memories of emotions, more specifically, loss and love. Now, you didn't specify if your mother has also passed on, so I wont go into that, but as for your husband, the memories of him, the emotions of loss and love, and the feeling of longing may play huge parts in this dream.
