Dreaming about dead parents

[PaulaSB12]

Has anyone else had this, I didn't after my dad died but have been doing so ever since my mother died. I am slowly getting the house sorted out after it was left for the last few years because of my mother's two bouts of cancer. Now I am decorating it from top to bottom and I keep dreaming that my mother doesn't like the decorating, has anyone else had that (she lived with me for the last 15 years of her life due to financial problems that my parents had)

All the time. I dream that my mom comes back from who knows where and is upset that we all thought she was dead and got rid of her stuff. Not a very pleasant dream!

My parents are still alive but I frequently dream about my grandfather who died in 2002. I think of it as a good sign, that he is reaching out to me from beyond.

I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like you were super close to your Mom. I cannot imagine losing mine as she is my next door neighbor and a best friend to my sisters and me. I know your heart is probably breaking which is why you are dreaming of her. There are all sorts of dream interpretations out there, I'm not sure what dreaming of decorating could mean. I know if you dream about someone dying it's supposed to mean there is a baby coming to someone in your life.

I dream about my Father-in-law. He sits in my living room, in the background of my other dreams, and laughs at me when I forget (again) that he's dead. It's odd, but nice.

I have never had a dream about dead parents, but I have had recurring dreams about a friend who died. I miss him terribly!

I think that when we dream about someone who died, it's our way of picking up the phone to say hi to them. It's a good thing, not something to be afraid of. It shows how much that person meant to you.

I had a dream about my father the other night. He's been gone 10 years.

Without going into details, my dream was about some unresolved issues we had when I was growing up. I didn't even realize I was still "thinking" about it until I had this dream. It was very enlightening to me.

My dad died when I was 4, in 1965, and I don't dream about him, but my mom who died in 2004, appears in my dreams often. It's just like she never passed and is here. Sometime in the dream we're at her house , which she hadn't lived in since 1981.

I am pretty open minded with spirits, ghosts.etc. I like to think when I dream about my df that its a "visitation" from him. I dream about him when I am feeling stressed. He looks healthy-not have lung cancer and he gets me through a storm.then he says he has to go. It feels so real when I wake up,but seeing him gives me comfort.

All the time about my Dad. He's sick in my dreams...I am aware he has the cancer and it's like he died and is back alive but still sick (in the dream). He doesn't talk and walks around almost zomby like. It's very disturbing.

me too!

I've dreamed about my dad, and both of his parents who I was close to. Only one dream about mom's mom (years and years ago) and none about her father.

My favorite dream about my dad had us all sitting outside at a big long picnic table and he was at the end of the table and were were all staring at hom and engrossed in everything he was saying. He looked great, had a full head of hair (which I never saw, only photos, lol!) and was healthy and happy. I commented on his looks and he said, "That's just it--they let you go back to when you think you looked your best." So funny and each "visit" warms my heart!

I had a dream like this about my grandmother not too long after she died. In my dream I was talking with an ex-bf and he asked how my GM was doing. When I told him she had died he said "no she didn't, she's right here!" And there she was. I ran over to her and said "I'm so sorry that you died, Gram" and we had a wonderful, long conversation. I was so happy even when I woke up but I couldn't for the life of me remember what we had been discussing in my dream.

I'm convinced that she came to see me for a "visit" while I was sleeping and I'm not meant to consciously know the details of our conversation. But I think that, subconsciously, I do know some of the details.

My dad died in 1993 and my mom in 2005. I do occasionally dream of them, that they came back. My mom struggled with breast cancer for years and the strange thing is when I dream she came back, I want to get her to the doctor right away because she needs her chemo treatment. One time shortly after she died I dreamed I said to her "what do I do, I cashed in the life insurance!". They were more at first, lately I haven't had many. I recently moved out of the family home of 45 years and it seems like I am finally letting go.

Very similar to my dreams.

My mom has been gone almost 4 years. At first in my dreams she would be there, and I would try to talk to her but she would walk away. Then I started having dreams where in the dream I knew she was dead but she didn't. Very disturbing. I finally had a dream where I could tell her I loved her and missed her, and I haven't had any more disturbing dreams since! The dreams she is in now, we are having fun.

My father and grandmother are both deceased and I've had dreams about them. The strange thing is, the dreams are very different from other dreams. I usually have very bizarre dreams, but these have been very normal, extremely clear and vibrant. They really feel like I am with them and they're also very emotional. Plus, both my grandmother and dad in my dreams were kind of different from when they were alive. They looked the same, acted the same, sounded the same, but they were almost...oozing a loving energy - hard to explain.

Thankfully, I still have both of my parents and hope to keep them for a long time.

My grandparents have been gone now for a few years, and yes I dream about them very often. Sometimes the "realness" is unbelievable.

My dad died last year. I have dreamed about him occasionally, and I actually dreamed about him this week. In my dream, we were at WDW, and it reminded me of our family vacation there when the MK opened.

I honestly believe that when they appear in our dreams that they are visiting us and are telling us that they are ok. I dream about my grandmother all the time. She died almost 16 years ago and I had a very hard time with it. I dream of my other grandparents too but mostly of her. I usually dont get freaked out by the dreams. I find them comforting.

 

[charming23]

My dad passed away in 2009, and I dream about him all the time. Sometimes he is front and center, while other times he is just in the background. In some strange way, it helps me feel like he is still apart of my life.

My mom died in 2006 from cancer, and I've dreamed of her a lot. Most of the time we're at the house I grew up in, and many times I knew she was dead, but it was like she came back life. Really weird most of the time too, because she usually doesn't say anything (or if she does I don't remember). Sometimes it's like she's recovered from the cancer, but still strange. I usually wake up upset though. When my grandmother died back in 2002 I would dream of talking to her on the phone, and I remember telling my mom that she told me "There's an awful lot of traffic here". I always though that was funny! I was very close to my mom and grandmother (they raised me). The house I grew up in isn't very far from where me and husband live now, and none of our family were able to keep it (my mom had financial problems with it at the very last). It's kind of strange too though, because it's been empty for quite a long time now. There were people living in it a few years ago, and they had repainted and such, but we don't know what's going on with it now. Every time we ride past it, it looks worse. It's not been kept up, and this past summer the grass had gotten VERY tall. My older sister swears it's haunted. Like she's serious that it is. I never thought it was when I lived there with my mom and grandma, but right after my mom died, my husband went to help me clean out my old room (still had old high school stuff and my old bed and such) and he says he saw someone walking around (and it wasn't me). Really freaked me out though lol. Makes you wonder.
