Dreaming about deceased loved ones If there is such a thing as an unpleasant experience, then this is it for it is heart-wrenching to lose someone dear to us. When we are faced with a bereavement situation such as losing a parent, child, spouse, or close friend then such feelings are real. It is a journey that in a way is full of ‘what ifs’ and endless reminders of our dearly departed; one of the ‘what ifs’ is dreaming of them.
Interpretation Of a Dream Of Missing Your Loved One
Huemer continues by asserting that ‘‘dreams give us a glimpse into the workings of our unconscious mind.’’ It has vivid aspects in dreams that make deep feelings and experiences emerge that are not normally evoked in a waking state. Losing loved ones is one of the most painful experiences that people can go through in their lives, and dreaming about those who are no longer with us is often very particular and intense. But what does it mean? Here are some common interpretations:
- It is comforting to know that your loved one is no longer suffering and is finally at peace. It could also be that they want to comfort their loved ones, which is why they look healthy, and vigorous, and transmit positive messages. It is a blessing for you to have a dream to be with them and to go on living with hope.
- They are significant to you and you crave for an end to the relationship. In some cases, dreams are true and show that you want to have more time with your dear one, or just wish to say goodbye properly. If you wish to take my advice, use the dream as a starting point to let your emotions out, especially the sorrowful ones and you can do this through writing in a journal, seeking professional help, or talking with friends.
- It is getting to that crucial moment again. If one dreams of a loved one during times such as holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and so forth, it may mean that during such emotionally draining days, one requires assistance.
- You got a response or a reply to your message. It is believed that one can get a lot of guidance on issues that cannot be addressed when one is conscious. Be cautious of any suggestions your friends and family members may have to help you overcome the challenges that you are facing in life as of now.
The Place to Find Comfort When You See The Lost Dear Ones in Dreams
Even though dreams of people who passed away can dredge up pain and longing, they can also provide transformative comfort and meaning:
- And so, the reader can sense their presence. When you are asleep, you are vulnerable, and the dream that feels like seeing the departed or touching them or hearing its voice or seeing its form allows you to interact with the essence.
- Happy reunions. Such dream events as reunion for a party, food, or just an emotional discussion make it possible for you to feel their kind heart all over again.
- Conversations and closure. It also provides a way to convey to your loved one something that you never got a chance to say to them when they were still alive. This dream intervention can help to remove the core pain that often comes with regrets.
- Signs and guidance. If your loved one comes in dreams, trying to decipher the meanings of symbols and messages can help you address problems or change your life for the better.
It’s suggested that when you have a chance to interact with the deceased in dreams, instead of trying to forget and avoid these dreams, you can gain the guidance, message, or support that is most useful to you at a certain stage in your grieving or in your life’s journey. Write down your thoughts and dreams and discuss them with others to realize their therapeutic potential with close friends and therapists. While the dreams may often dissipate as one continues to grieve, the sentiments behind them are eternal.
Conclusion
The death of our closest people – friends and family members – is unbearable, and the absence remains unfilled. This only means that dreaming of absent loved ones has the potential to trigger not only painful emotions and sorrow but also happiness, comfort, conclusions, and directions. Both the Content and Timing of these dreams are also important for you to get the most out of such dreams. The message that dreamed reunions hold are deep assets, and it is beneficial to embrace and listen to such messages. While they may occur less often over time due to the passing of time and the pain associated with the loss of a loved one, the bond that we have with people who have passed on, especially those closest to us, never dies but is alive in our dreams and nightmares.
