Do you often dream of your loved ones who passed away? Here is what it means

Dreaming about a deceased person is never harmless (nightmares are not always harmless either). Our dreams tell us what feelings are hidden deep inside us. If you have just lost a loved one, dreaming this way is quite common in the grieving process and helps to reduce the feeling of missing that person.

Dreaming about a deceased person

But how should it be interpreted? When we dream of a deceased loved one, we may feel a touch of nostalgia. For a moment, we have the feeling that we can get in touch with the deceased person again.

Is that person trying to communicate with us? Do we have a desire to confide in them something that we have not yet been able to tell? Is this a harbinger of another death? There are so many questions to ask and they can torment the mind.

The reasons for this dream

There are therefore several possible meanings:

• The dream could indicate a communication error that you are trying to rectify
• Your subconscious wants to make you aware that life is short and that you should enjoy it
• Seeing a deceased person would give us the opportunity to move on, to come to terms with the past and regain control of our lives
• It can also give us comfort in difficult times
• Dreaming of a deceased loved one gives us more hope and allows us to enjoy life again
• You simply miss this person, you are grieving, according to the Focus
• You regret something or would have liked to say something specific to the person

There are other meanings that can explain this type of dream. In any case, it is important to put things into perspective after such a dream or at least to calm down and soothe your mind. Relaxation exercises or meditation can help you with this.
