Do you dream of the dead?

[Disney1fan2002]

I always dream about my dead relatives. I have not dreamed of my mom for a long while, but my brother Jimmy visits my dreams a lot lately. I actually had my first dream with dad in it last night. He died 2 years ago. My brother Paul has not been in my dreams.

It is mostly mom and Jimmy. Last night's dream was weird. I dreamt that we were in my Uncle Moe's old neighborhood, and his apartment was supposed to be empty. (he died in 2000). My sister and I see the door open and lights on. We go to the door, and are afraid Uncle Moe is haunting the place. We walk in, and go to my cousin's bedroom, and find my brother Jimmy sleeping. Huge relief that we did not find Uncle Moe's ghost. We laugh with Jimmy, who thinks we're high on something. A girl comes out of the bathroom. LOL. Jimmy was a playboy. This part of the dream, I am not aware Jimy is dead. He is alive and well. Next thing I know, I am at my dad's telling him how we found Jimmy at Uncle Moe's place, and dad gets upset, and doesn't want me to talk about Jimmy. Jimmy is dead. I wake up, and realize dad is gone also.

I woke up, and that dreamed help me remember how much Jimmy used to make us laugh. Sometimes the dreaming makes me sad, because it is a strong reminder of what i no longer have. But I am really lucky that I have my memories in my dreams.

I used to all the time until I had one very disturbing dream, and now I don't anymore.

If you can remember the details of the dreamin great detail and doesn't seem to fade in memory then I believe you have had a visit from that loved one. I've had a few over the years but the one I remember like it was yesterday was when my Grandma died. She came to me a few days later and now 20 years since she died I still remember what she wore, where we were, what she told me. I think a true visit in our dreams is a gift from the other side.

I've only dreamt of the dead once. My great-grandmother died in September at age 91, and a couple weeks ago I just had a dream that we were visiting her and she was doing great, as usual. (She was in great health until she had her stroke.) I remember thinking in my dream "Wow, Mama isn't dead, this is so great!!" and then I woke up and realized that it WAS just a dream and I was just very sad.

Yup, I dream of my dad on occasion. Sometimes, it's like a visit. Other times, it's more of "just" a dream with him as one of the characters.

I dream about my mom often...almost always they are wonderful happy dreams and she looks great in them. I truly believe some of these dreams are actual contact with those who have passed.
