HistoryGirl – First of all, thank you for the background information, it makes it so much easier for us.
Your dream is quite amazing, and I need to give you some ‘background’ to make it understandable to you. For instance, I often say that dreams arise from our core self and interact with our conscious self producing themes and images. But our basic core self has the same abilities or qualities as explained in quantum physics. Don’t worry, I hope to make it plain after this.
We were taught that the basic part of us is atoms. So as such we were just physical bodies, with a physical brain, and of course as a physical body we know it can be destroyed or die. But in 1900 an amazing new science was born. It said that our basic being is not atoms but sub-atomic-particles, and these questioned much or past statement. So light was thought if as the fastest one could achieve; but the sub-atomic-particles were seen to be everywhere at once. Also it was seen that a human observer could change the sub-atomic-particles, suggesting that we in some way create the world around us. Also the term quantum ghosts was defined, because quantum phenomena can pass through any solid object – just as we can do when experiencing a so called out of body experience. See

http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/quantum-physics/So your mother, through her death, was released from the limiting influence of the body and brain, and existed in her core being – or at least was potentially there. But most people after death or even in near death experiences are often in two or more places at once and have a much wider awareness. See
http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/near-death-experiences/ You said of your mother, “..,but how does she know him?” She knows him in great depth because she now has an extended mind, and because she cares for you, she experiences and knows you and the difficulties you face, and can comment on them. But from the core self or quantum view, you and your mother are and always will be as one.
Near-death experiences occur when the soul leaves the nervous system and enters the universe, claim two quantum physics experts. This ground-breaking theory holds that quantum substances form the soul. They are part of the fundamental structure of the universe.
