Do you dream of your deceased loved ones?

[foxyknoxy]

I do frequently and wake up crying or terrified. It doesn’t make me happy to dream of her.

Am I the only one? How do you feel?

[VTsnowbird]

I sometimes dream about my late DH. Some dreams are not pleasant, he is doing something that upsets me (I used to have these dreams when he was alive too). But sometimes I have a dream that is SO REAL - it's like he is really with me. I call them visitation dreams. I can almost feel him in my arms as I wake up.

[foxyknoxy]

Yes that is what terrifies me it’s like she is hugging me for real.

Occasionally. But it has never frightened me. Sometimes it's a happy encounter, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's just matter-of-fact. What about it frightens you? If it's someone you love hugging you, it should be pleasant.

I dream about my mom and friends that have passed. I was super close to my dad but never dreamt about him. Also dogs that have passed. Most are happy but not all.

When I dream of my father, who died at 53 in 1973, I always tell him I thought he was dead and he tells me that he was ill but got better...When I dream of my mother, who died at 90 in 2013, I don't seem to know she is dead. Always good dreams of them.

I didn't for a while (years) but now I do and she just buzzes around like she always did. Always just a normal thing. I don't usually remember dreams but when I do, and she is part of it, I'm happy about it.

I dream of my father, not frequently but no doubt that it is him. They are never unhappy dreams. He's been gone for... 12 years?

My Mom is often in my dreams. So very pleasant and as another poster said.....in the dream I do not even think she has passed its as though we are simply spending a day together or conversing on a matter. Its upon awakening that I feel the sorrow and acknowledgement that she isnt here to talk with.

I can't recollect dreaming about my grandparents even though they had a huge impact on my life.

If I do ever dream about my bio Dad I would call it a nightmare. He was so unkind .......and thats being polite in my view.

I think it would both delight me and create an ache if I saw my endearing pets in my dream. I miss my little paw pets!

When my husband first died in 2010, I used to dream about him all the time and it made me depressed all day. Now I rarely have dreams about him. I dreamed about my grandmother recently and she died in 1991 and my mother who died 7 months ago.
