An interpretation of seeing a dead relative dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. The first possibility to consider for the meaning of a dream about a deceased loved one is that the person is a projection of yourself, a character in a story, not your loved one. Otherwise, strong emotions and thoughts tend to muddy the water. It’s difficult to step back and analyze the dream as you would any other dream-story, but that’s how you get to the bottom of it. Eliminate other possibilities before thinking it’s spiritual contact with the person in the afterlife. Grief and loss are the two most common subjects of these stories. You’re processing emotions related to the death of the person you love, or adjusting to life without him or her. In broad terms, the tone and tenor of the dream show where you’re at. If the dream is distressing or your deceased loved one’s character acts strangely, it indicates that you’re still processing the emotions and getting a grip on your loss. An encouraging dream generally indicates you’ve made it through that part of the grief process, at least enough to find balance within yourself again. For example, a young man whose father died dreams about balancing the water temperature in a fish tank. Once it’s balanced, his father appears in the room, and they have a happy reunion. Balancing the temperature of the water symbolizes balancing his emotions, giving him access to the memories of his father in positive ways. That dream contrasts with one a young man had about seeing his father at a memorial service and being unable to get his attention. It’s a way of saying his father is no longer around to hear him, to share his life. A widow dreams that she’s lost her car, and a man offers to help her find it; then he wants to kiss her. She refuses his advance. The dream could be interpreted as her needing physical closeness, and the time has come to find it with another man. But the dream is actually about moving on from her grief. It’s what keeps her connected to the memory of her deceased husband, and she feels that moving on from her grief, as symbolized by finding her car, means losing the last thing connecting them. She’s not ready to move on. The actions and behaviors of dream characters are projections from inside you, so if you dream about a deceased loved one in distress, it probably means you are in distress. In dreams, you project your inner life to see it more clearly and from different perspectives. That key piece of information helps you decipher your dreams about deceased loved ones. Dreams about a deceased person can relate to fears about your health or the possibility of death, or fears about someone you know. It can express a wish that the person were still part of your life, especially during a time of need, when, in the past, you would turn to that person. For example, missing the advice your father used to give you, or the company of a friend. It can mean simply that you miss that person. Whose memory is still alive within you. After many years of studying this subject and speaking with people about their dreams involving deceased loved ones, I am convinced that dreams can act as a sort of telephone line between those alive in this world and those alive in the next worlds. The subject is way too deep to explore here, so I encourage you to go to my blog at dreams123.net and search for “dead loved ones.” I give a thorough breakdown of how to tell when a message is coming through from beyond, or is coming through from inside you.
