I dream of loved ones often. Especially my grand parents I was close to. But for the last several years I’ve had these vivid dreams that are almost more like messages or visions from a woman who I considered my soulmate and she got away from me. long story. The dreams haunt me for days! They are so real.
My grandparents usually pop up in my dreams offering advice.

I don't seem to dream too much anymore about my loved ones. Occasionally but not like it used to be. I did, however, dream just this week about the 2nd best man I had in my life. He's dead too. I haven't dreamt of him in ages. When I woke up, I had to remember that he is gone. Kinda makes me feel like I am cheating on my dead hubby!

I usually don't remember my dreams. I only wake up knowing that I had one. A few weeks ago I had a dream about a boyfriend that I had back in college. After we broke up I lost track of him. I was very fond of him at that time. We were in our early 20's. Young love. Fast forward 40+ years I have a dream and he's in it. I woke up feeling intensely sad and knew he had died. I was able to confirm this and discovered that he died 20 years ago.


The dream was so weird and the feelings I had when I woke up was over whelming.

I had a dream about my recently deceased nephew. It left me feeling sad and wasn't a happy dream like most of my dreams about dead loved ones. I think it's because it's too fresh. In a few years, it will be nice to dream of him again. I like dreaming about the ones that have been gone a long time, it's like having them back in the family for a few minutes.

He told me that he would never leave me and that he would always be with me. He also said that I was entering my "third phase" in life. Then he wrapped his arms around me in an embrace that completely enveloped me and my entire body was filled with warmth; it was as if I was being swaddled like a baby.

Then I woke up and realized that it was just a dream. I think of that dream almost every day and it brings me comfort.

I've had other dreams of him, but they seem more like regular dreams, nothing like that one. Most dreams don't make sense but that one was different in that his message to me was so clear and direct. There was nothing puzzling about it.
I think that was more than "just a dream." It was a visit, a message.

Third phase, is that of the spirit? First phase, of the body. Second phase, of the mind.

My sisters refer to that for me. First phase daughter, second phase wife, third phase me. I can do what I want, when I want, how I want, with no consideration of others.

Amusingly enough, they do tell me everything I’m doing wrong.

I rarely dream about my DW but I had one that stands out even months later.

I was in some house talking with her and her daughter about some random subject when she talked about potential summer plans. At that point, I started to realize I was having a dream and went over to hug her. Right after that, I woke up.

It is simply an opinion. However, people who think/believe the someone has reached out to them from 'beyond' -- that is only their opinion also. There is no proof either way. I am not being snarky -- there just isn't any proof either way. But I do tend to think (my opinion) that dreams are messages from our unconscious. Who knows though? And how will we ever find out?

Simple answer...we never will. It will always remain a mystery. Individual theories will vary.
