Surely on some other occasion you have dreamed of people who are no longer in the world of the living. It often happens with our loved ones and doing so involves many ways for our subconscious to communicate with us. And it is that dreaming of a person who has passed away may imply that you are reliving a memory, thinking about a pending and unresolved issue or some other meaning.
Pain that you have not overcome: When you dream of a deceased person, if it is not a simple memory that you relive, it is common that you do so because you have not completely overcome the duel. Keep in mind that losing an important person in our life is a fact that changes everything and affects us deeply, so it is logical that it takes time to assimilate. You shouldn’t worry about it. If the person recently died and you dream about them, don’t think about it too much, unless it becomes a recurring dream that interferes with your life. Dreaming on occasion of a deceased loved one is not only normal, but also a healthy way for our brain to process grief. It is even possible that you try to have conversations with him that were left pending or ask him for forgiveness for something that gnaws at you: an apology that you had not expressed when he was alive.
Dreaming of unknown dead: We do not always dream of deceased that we knew or were part of our lives, sometimes unknown dead sneak into our dreams, whose presence can make us uncomfortable, frighten or surprise us. In any case, this event is related to a situation of change. You are living a stage in your life that your mind perceives as a radical turn, or you may be tempted to make a drastic decision. If so, remember that before deciding something of this type that involves turning your life upside down or affecting third parties, you must take them into account, reflect and do things in the best possible way after having duly meditated on it. Don’t get carried away by impulses. First it is necessary to reflect, then decide and then act.
Dreaming of the deceased partner: In those cases in which you have the misfortune that your partner has died, in addition to the above, the possibility is added that, after a while, you have started a new relationship. In these circumstances it is common for you to dream of the one who is no longer with us, and you may even find it a distressing dream. Most of the time, what is hidden behind this feeling is a feeling of guilt that you must resolve in order to move forward without conflicts or complications. The other person is gone and you have to continue with your life. Also, if he really loved you, he would surely want you to be happy, so try not to dwell on it too much. However, if this fact is something that is difficult for you to overcome or is influencing your decision when it comes to committing yourself, moving in with someone, or establishing closer and more lasting relationships, you may need to see a psychologist to help you deal with it. this new stage of your life.
Dreaming of parents: When your parents have passed away, it is common to dream of them every time you feel that the situation overwhelms you or you are afraid of some event that you have to face. With few exceptions, as a general rule, the father and mother figures represent support, security and accompaniment in difficult times. The truth is that your subconscious is sending you the message that you probably need help of some kind, emotional or practical, and that you should seek it instead of closing in on yourself. If the situation you are going through overwhelms you, it is best to seek professional help. Likewise, it is common to dream of parents when you simply need good advice.
Seeking advice: Another possibility is that you feel the need for the deceased person to advise you on an issue that worries you especially, be it work, family, friendship or partner. This happens, above all, when the absence comes from someone who was very important to us and from whom we received teachings and support, such as a father, a mother, an older brother or a close friend. If you would like to know what he would say to you, think about how he thought and what he would advise you at this moment when you are lost or full of doubts. When you make a decision, you will sleep more peacefully.
Work and personal successes: But dreaming of a deceased person does not have to imply unresolved problems or duels. You have to watch how you feel in the dream to be able to interpret it. In fact, it may mean that you are in a good moment in your life, that the person you care about so much and is no longer there congratulates you or is proud of you and gives you energy to face what is to come, something what you will get out of. The emotions of this type of dream are usually so intense that you may wake up crying, but not feeling bad. Tears will be a mix between feeling comforted and the sadness of absence.
