Oh that is a sad dream and it's clearly upset you as it would have done me! You're not going mad, I'm sure. For me it speaks of two elements in your life - one that demands all your attention and one you accidentally neglect. It could be parts of your or issues in your life and your mind is showing you in this powerful dream, so it's one to listen to.
Tony will come and share his wisdom soon but in the meantime, take care x
