Dreaming about loved ones who have passed on? *might trigger?*
I'm sorry if there is a thread about this, but...
Do you consider them as evidence that your loved one is "contacting" you? I do. I just had a dream about my Grandpa who passed away this past June...I can't even remember what it was about, but I just feel like it was his way of saying "Hello," or something.
Also, this may sound stupid, but I grew up with 2 dogs, and the last one past away in August of 2008...For weeks a few months after his death, I had dreams about the both of them, or dogs that had similar personalities. (They were like my little brothers who were always happy to see me, lol.)
To end this post on an positive note, my parents are getting a "new addition" to the family this weekend - they have been so lonesome without a little guy in the house after our last dog died. I get to meet my little bro. on Saturday! The highlight of my week, hands down. And it's been a rough one...
I have dreamt about my Nan who passed on in 2004, I don't know what to make of it, because sometimes they are bad dreams, and sometimes I wake up in panic. *shrugs*
Ive had a lot of bad dreams, due to the nature my best friend died in. But I had one really nice dream, where she was telling me she would always be with me, even though I couldnt see her physically as I could in the dream, but she had to come back to prove it to me, because I didnt believe she was with me.
I like to believe that was her leaving me a message, but I dont really know. x

i have had a few about my dad, one in particular i think was him contacting me, it was mainly him talking to me, almost getting me to understand, i was 11 when he died, this was a few months after and my mam wasnt talking me through things she should have, to me it was his way of saying goodbye, and he actually did, and hugged me it was weird, but yeah i think some are, some dreams are just memories of him, that one was different, to me anyway ive had people say thats just what i want to belive etc but thats not what i think
Asphyxia, thank you for making this thread. I've had two dreams since my Nan passed away two years ago, and since then, attempting to talk about it to my friends has lead to failure. They've not understood a lot of the time. When I told them, I swear they thought I was delusional.
The first dream I had (I'm not 100% sure about the exact events) involved my Nan telling me that she was safe. However, the second dream was much more life-like. It felt more like reality than a dream. This one involved my grandad. Note: I never knew him - he died long before I was born. Anyway. It was a strange dream, to say the least. It started out with me and a few other people who I didn't know, we'd been captured by an evil man. He locked us in a large room, strapped in chairs. After a while of being in this room, he made a signal to someone for us to be removed and placed somewhere else. Guards came along, took us to these cells and for some reason, all of the guards were women. The guard who took me to my cell asked me for some change, as soon as I gave it to her she turned nasty (this I didn't understand). I turned around and a notepad had appeared on my bed, it was facing down. I walked over and noticed that messages started to appear on the back cardboard part. They were messages from my Nan and my Grandad, telling me that she was happy, safe and in place she'd always wanted to be; with her husband where she belonged. I wrote messages back, saying how much I missed her and how I'd always love her.
When I woke the next morning, I felt a slight sense of relief. I do believe they were messages from her letting me know that I shouldn't feel upset over her death, because she was happy where she was.
Sorry it's so long. It's just nice to feel I can speak about it and not be looked upon as a freak of some sort.
I don't really feel that way about dreams because mine are often bad and my Mum will be telling me that she hates me, and I don't think she did. I do feel like there are sometimes other 'signs' though.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
Just after my boyfriend died, I had a couple of dreams of him telling me I would be okay, or just smiling. But then, I also have a lot of nightmares with him in them. The nice dreams always gave me a lot of comfort, and I like to believe that he was still there for me in some way. It was also just amazingly comforting to still be able to see his smiling face.
i think there are little signs like that. i had a really really vivid awful dream about my grandpa after he died, still makes me shudder. i cant decide if that was him telling me he was angry at me for not "seeing" him when he was dieing. i couldnt cope with seeing him it was too hard. but i've had some dreams where i'm sure its them telling me something. i've had really weird messages, ones that i've choosen to ignore, and yet they've always been right in the end. weird! so in short yes, i think some dreams are their way of popping in and telling us things.
I think anything is possible and maybe it was a sign that they want to show they are alright or something?
Although in saying that about 9 days after my dad died I had a dream that took place in my house downstairs in the living room and it was him giving me into trouble over how I treated my mum in the days after his death and also telling me it was my job now to look after her. It was so real and to this day I hope I never see him in my dreams again because I dont want to be reminded of how controlling and things he is.
So I think yes, it could be them sharing a last message.
I WILL FORGET THOSE THAT HAVE HURT ME
BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE WHO ARE ALWAYS THERE TO HELP ME
I'd dreamt about my friend several times but last night it felt different. I think maybe she did come last night. It was very short and to be honest quite scary. She didn't say anything - I just saw her sitting down and I thought I was imagining things but then she came towards me and then just disappeared and I suddenly felt something - I can't explain it, but I think it was her.
Sometimes the way in life seems cloudy...But remember, after the storm comes clear skies
Yes! He is so adorable...He's a miniature schnauzer named Ralphie, lol. He's really similar to one of are older dogs, which is interesting...
Sillouette, I'm glad you're able to share! I'm sorry your friends aren't that supportive.
It's weird, because in the dreams I've had (with people), I never recollect them actually telling me they're okay, it's more of a feeling I get upon waking...It's good to know that others experience this though.
I believe loved ones visiting said person in a dream after passing away is just like saying 'hello'.
My father and uncle have both been in my dreams. My uncle, who was so... 'good' even appeared in my dream wearing a white robe and had angel wings...
Mum has seen her mum also, though I haven't. So we came to the conclusion said passed away relative can choose one person to contact fully, such as a dream...
Wow. That's really cool about your uncle. My Grandma hasn't contacted me yet...at least not that I remember. Hopfully it will happen in time...
I had a horrible dream about my friend the other night. It really set me back for the day. Her death hadnt been real, and she was back, but she was so sad, because she wasnt happy here. It really shook me up, I guess.
Its weird, I dont dream about her very often, and its strange how a dream can have such an effect on me. I guess what i really want is her back, and if that dream was a message from her, then it was showing me that she wouldnt be happy if she was back, although everyone else would have been.

I don't believe that my dreams are them contacting me. But I sometimes think about them, and it's like they're in the room, I can feel a presence and I say 'hi'. It's not actually seeing them, it's more my imagination and they don't talk back so I'm not having hallucinations... It sounds really wierd but it means something to me.
