Visitation Dreams: What is it? And Why Are They Important?

If you ask a psychologist what they think of dreams their logical and rational opinion will differ from the opinions of a spiritual person. Dreams are incredible insights that bridge the gap of communication between the spirit and the material world. But, there is a noticeable difference between a regular dream and a visitation dream.

What is a visitation dream?
A visitation dream is a hyper-intensive dream where a deceased soul or loved one visits you in the dream. People who experience a visitation dream claim the dream’s intensity feels real and can remember vivid details. Some may disregard the dream as nothing special, but those who are open and not fearful of the experience can find answers, closure or insight to that soul or their life.

Why do visitations happen in a dream?
Visitations occur in our sleeping state because the five senses and ego are at rest. This allows us to tap into our sixth sense and intuition in order to allow for these communications to happen. In the waking state, many people disconnect to their spirit and block receiving intuitive information. Plus, most people who cannot define their relationship with the “Source” would “freak out” and are not open to hearing messages or seeing visuals.

Why do these dreams occur?
These dreams occur for various reasons and at any time. Visitation dreams occur for several reasons such as:

-A loved one recently past. They “show up” in the dream to notify the living being that his or her soul is okay.
-A soul needs closure and needs to communicate their feelings to answer or resolve something that happened during their physical life.
-A soul visits you to inform you of a problem or clue to living a better life. Often when we are lost in life the spirit world shows up to direct us to the “right” path. Or the soul is there to provide comfort and love during a rough time to assure you that everything will be okay.
-A soul may visit just to visit. If they’ve been on your mind a soul may pop up to show their presence or strengthen your memories of them. This also occurs for those who are grieving. The soul wants you to know that they are okay.

What do I do after the dream?
Depending on your level of comfort, it is important to write down the dream. This is beneficial when looking back at your spiritual growth. The second is to analyze the dream. Were there key insights or assurances to questions you’ve had? Can your mind rest knowing that your loved one is okay? Humans are complex beings and our layers of emotions get jumbled with the ego.

Being open to visitations during the sleeping state progresses you to having signs and signals from past loved one during the waking state. Some souls visit to show you that there is life after death where others return as a spirit guide. The answer is within you and your intuition. Only you can interpret the meaning of the dream and their presence.

A very close friend of mine passed away about 5 months ago. I had the most vivid dream I've ever had where she came to hug me a couple of days after she very suddenly and unexpectedly died, then another vivid dream a few days after the funeral. Again, comforting and reassuring. Then nothing until today where I had such a vivid dream again of her. The last 2 had been in places we always saw each other,and had left me waking feeling peaceful and warm. This one was somewhere I couldn't place - it felt part graveyard, part garden, part playground. I knew I was welcome to come any time with my children although she didn't ever say it. She adored my 2 toddlers. She seemed sad, and when I moved towards her she started crying. When I went to comfort her I was filled with such a feeling of loss and missing someone. I initially thought her father had passed away then as soon as my brain clicked she was the one that had passed, the dream stopped abruptly and left me feeling so sad. Any thoughts on what this meant?

Hi Lin,
Thank you for reading, reaching out & sharing. Although I am not a dream interpreter, I can help as much as i know from my journey w/ understanding visitation dreams. The internal feelings / thoughts are the gateway to our interpretation.

If you've bounced between different scenes it could be shifting into different dimensions (some are more dense and the higher we go toward the 5th dimension is where the beautiful scenes live).

Maybe a part of her soul is stuck here on the planet? And she needs soul retrieval.

Or maybe there were somethings never communicated to you about how sad she was / is to miss you. I think you should tap into what you were thinking / feeling about her sadness.

Did she leave life incomplete? Or did she fulfill her mission? Souls are sent to earth to learn many things & some of our lives maybe incomplete as a way for the soul to learn from that experience. But, maybe part of her sadness is that she misses you + toddlers (or missing the chance to see them grow).

Not all visitation dreams will be cheerful, but as we've entered the fall equinox, its a time of reflection. And maybe its a good time to reflect, bless and let go of her soul. Reflecting on where she was sad too like did u guys ever go to that playground together with your kids?

One way I'd interpret the graveyard garden and playground are either cycles of rebirth.(we die, we go to heaven aka the garden then we rebirth as a child aka playground) Or there was something she liked or lacked about play in her life?

Let me know if I can assist in any way. I Hope some of this helps!

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. We lived next door to each other, and she had a genetic problem which meant she was in more and more pain and struggling more with mobility as the years went by even though she was only in her 40s. She had been feeling particularly down as she's recently lost 2 extended family members and another had recently been given a terminal diagnosis. So we only usually popped to each others houses or chatted over the fence. Her children are teenagers. I know her parents and part of me worried afterwards that it was a warning that her father needed help. Maybe that's why I felt such a sadness and thought straight away of him. Her and her family are very religious but what if she is stuck. She knew I am much more open minded and accepting of all possibilities rather than a defined path after death. Maybe that's why she came to me instead of her family. I really don't know. I just know it left me feeling shaky and unable to interact properly all morning, the feelings were so intense.
It didn't feel like bouncing between scenes, it was just a weird mixture in the same place.

What made me look into dream visitations is last night I had a dream .in this dream it was me my brother and my cousin we was walking towards a restroom. and I seen my sister which passed away around 10 years ago. when I seen her she looked real good like she was at peace .then I said I sure do love my sister and she looked at me and said back I sure do love my brother then we walked passed each other and we touched each other as we was walking pass each other. I felt her touch I felt it strongly in my heart.then in my dream I told my cousin that I know this is a dream but I just seen my sister. So I knew I was having a dream while I was dreaming. It felt so real and I felt so peaceful. I don't know wat it means but I know it was more then just a dream it had to be just on how everything happened in my dream and how I felt her touch

Dreams can certainly be tough to analyze, but it sounds like you have some good insights as to why she reached out to you. These type of dreams can certainly stir our inner worlds and don't be afraid to reach out to the family even if its just to say hello. :)

My mother in law lost her husband October 20, 2017. She is unable to live alone which is why I am not living with her for the moment. She worries about her daughter who did something to her that I will not mention and she is hurt and cannot let it go. Of course, she is having a difficult time coming to accept that her quality of health is diminishing at 82 and want to try and do things she cannot do anymore, as well as wanting me to continue her way or habits of doing things around the house. She is so self absorbed with herself that she cannot see the sacrifices that are being made to her as an example me moving 900 miles away from my family a joint agreement between me and my husband to care for her.

Today she shared with me what appears to be a visitation dream from her husband. She said, My husband came to me walking down the hall. He had on his hospital gown. He said that everything will be alright and gave her a big smile. When she asked him what did he mean by that he faded away.

What is so disturbing about this to me is two weeks ago I had a very real dream of someone being in the house. I tipped out of my bed and cracked the bedroom door and felt an eeery presence. I heard a movement which appear to be moving extremely slow. The hall was dark but it appeared a light as if a night light was in the outlet. I looked to the wall and saw a clear shadow of a skeleton walking straightway. It appeared as if it had not fully decayed in the midsection. I became somewhat fearful and since my mother n law door was directly accross from mine I wondered where he was heading but he did not shift right or left but I became more fearful as it got closer and something in me said close the door and I inched the door shut got in bed and prayed and went to sleep.

I did not ponder too much on the vision but kept thinking was that death coming. Now, today my mother n law tells me about her visitation dream and I somehow feel that is what I saw in advance. Hmmm what do you think?

11/30/2017 06:40:21 pm

Wow, what an experience. It is very hard to say as intuition knows best, but it is possible you felt his presence prior to the dream. Something in the mid section could mean something "visceral" or in the gut. Not sure if that rings a bell? But being full in the midsection metaphorically may be something to ponder about.

9/24/2018 05:23:50 pm

It def. seems like a vision dream and that your intuition picked up on something in the dream. Dreams fascinate me as I do believe its a mix of logical and spiritual notions. Its hard to say for sure, as these things can't be predictive but what your mother in law experienced is something authentic in terms of it being an experience.

One danger of lucid dreaming is the possibility of lucid nightmares and false awakenings. I describe my own terrifying history of bad lucid experiences, and I explain why they happen.

I had the most real dream of my uncle whom passed away 2 years ago it was so so real. he met with my mum first, who was very close to him, and I was waving out the window saying I missed him, he said he knew that to me then my mum came back in and I said can I go out and I went out to him he came over to me and gave me a big hug and I swear I could feel it, I asked him was he ok and he said he was happy but he wasn't happy he came to me with funny eyes they were sticking out, I said you look fine, he had pasty skin, then I asked him what its like up there and he said it's fine and I said is there lots of people and said there is rivers of people, I asked him did he see his wife when he got up there and he said he did. He said that it was funny a policeman arrived in last night and you should have seen the cut of him and he was laughing.. I said to him when I go hopefully when I'm old will I be able to find you and he said if you want to, then he said He had another 20 years left and started laughing I said you were 81! Then his wife came briefly she looked beautiful and I got upset and she said not to be upset.. Then I woke up I got a fright. I cannot stop thinking about it all day and what it meant. I woke but felt so peaceful even though I was scared. Any advise?

2/21/2018 09:20:33 am

WOW What an amazing dream and experience. I could be wrong as Im going on my intuition, but maybe this experience was "closing" some ends to your relationship like just being able to meet and see that he is okay assured the conclusion chapter of your relationship or soul connection could tie to an end.

I don't know why we get these experiences but somehow they are providing insight to things that we question about the heavens or our loved ones in the sky above.

Yeasterday I was very upset about a friend of my family’s passing he passed about 8 months ago he was 16. So I was very upset yesterday I had taken a nap at 5pm and woke up at 7 then went to my and ended up going to bed again I know dream visitation is supposed to be remembered and clear but mine wasn’t completely but I remember the part I was supposed to. We were in my room and he was sitting on my couch looking into my eyes smiling he looked younger and healthier and he had shot him self so I knew he looked better because there was no mark. He had severe depression but he seemed happy. We had a conversation that I couldn’t hear I just saw up talking I was in front of him and there were little details in the dream that as I piece together start to create a story and maybe he was telling me why he committed suicide anyway i sleep on the side of my bed closest to the wall and there’s a whole other side empty. I woke up with a feeling that somebody was watching me I sat up and looked at my couch and nobody was there I didn’t write it down in time. I can’t get his imagine out of my head. I wasn’t sure it was a visitation dream. But the fact that I felt somebody there was odd and I think he came and sat on my couch and talked to me through image like he wanted me to see what happened. It’s a very odd thought but he was a smart and loving and talented kid i know he would give me something smart. But I’m struggling to know if it was a visit or not I hope it was I remember he was wearing a white shirt he loves white shirts. Can you help me out?

4/6/2018 10:23:51 am

Wow, what an experience and in this situation I think you need to follow your intuition or feelings on this. His spirit or presence very well could have been with you that evening and sometimes suicide people don't ascend to the higher dimensions so maybe he's resolving some stuff w/ loved ones on the earth plane still?

No one but ourselves can understand if it was a visit but I do think the dreams that leave us emotional or have these images are an indicator that it wasn't just any normal dream, but an actual experience that touched our psyche and souls. The fact that he wore something that he loved, to my intuition, is a way that he wants you to remember him as the healthy individual as he was, which incl. something he loves like the white shirt.

I have had visitation dreams of people who have past but my regular visitor is very much alive. It is a visitation dream 100% can tell the difference. My question is do they know they are doing it?

4/6/2018 10:17:32 am

Thank you for reading and commenting. I do think it is possible for two souls to meet in the ethers. I am not an expert in this area but know it is possible and the other person may not be aware their soul is doing it. Sometimes our souls do things in the dream state to help "wake" us up but most people don't remember once in their waking state.

Hi
This morning I woke up and simply felt at peace. My grandmother passed last year and even until her death was a truly vibrant soul. Last night she visited me in my dream. When she entered the room I could believe it was her and completely passed out in shock. Then moments later I am resting on a bed and I see her again. No longer shocked. She is surrounded by a light so vibrant and radiant. I ran to her and she opened her arms and hugged me. As we hugged I laughed, cried and giggled and although her own laughter wasn't audible I could feel it. I could also feel her warmth and embrace. By the way, prior to this dream I had been visited by a cardinal almost daily for a week. One cardinal even had the nerve to sit on the drivers side mirror look directly in my eyes and fly away.

I shared all of this with my aunt and the one thing she said was that after my grandmother's death a cardinal used to come to her house daily and sit on the chair where my grandmother sat. I am so thankful for her visit.

This is so powerful and exciting to hear as it "confirms" spiritual notions can be true. I think its a Native American belief that a deceased spirit can enter an animal. When my uncle passed, he loved hawks, my dad said a hawk sat in a tree looking into our kitchen window for at least a week. Whenever we'd hike we'd see a hawk fly overhead and say, "There's uncle Marty!"

Seeing your grandmother in light is not only a great sign but to me seems like an authentic experience from the divine. Powerful stuff!

My husband passed away several years ago. We had the grandkids for the weekend and he left going to the store for some things and never returned. He collapsed in the parking lot. When we arrived at the hospital we we're placed in a room near the chapel and then told he did not survive. There were several incidents that followed after his death. My daughter had dreams of him telling her what songs he wanted at his funeral. He continued to visit her for several days. My grandson have a message pop up on his tv that said hi I love you Will. Scared him so bad. On my trip to the funeral home to bring his clothes to them a car would not let me pass. If I changed lanes it would also then slow down every time. After being frustrated with the car I decided to call the cops, so I look at the tag to get the tag number and break down in tears. The tag had Winn-Dixie as the tag number that was the parking lot where he collapsed. I stop and pull over to collect myself then notice the car was nowhere in sight. I get home and not sleeping very well I hear a loud sound like a faucet dripping. So I go in the bathroom and check everything there is no drip. I lie lack down and it gets louder so I turn the light on. There is a click on his dresser that was used for decoration only. No batteries were ever placed in it. The clock is tickinn very loud. I get up and leave the bedroom when my granddaughter comes home I ask her if she out batteries in the clock she said no she had not even been in my room. So I tell her about the click. She goes in the room to see and the clock is running backwards. She decides to record it, so we leave the room and later that night I go to bed and the clock is running the correct way again. The next morning I decide to check the clock and I open it to find no batteries inside and it is still running. During his service my grandson was reading a poem and kept noticing something out the side of his eye and it kept getting his attention, then my granddaughter did the eulogy and had the same happen to her. I decide to downsize and move to an apartment, one day while folding clothes my granddaughter that is 3 starts talking to the clock. She kept telling the clock she was being good and saying yes papa. I smell him off and on all the time and so do others that were close to him. He had never come to me in a dream before if he has I don't remember it. But I woke up this morning with him telling me that he was so far away he didn't think he would make it home. But he would see me soon. Can you please help me with all of the meanings to this?

Late last year I had a dream about a friend and I having a bbq on a beach. (We were very close but he had moved away and we hadn't spoken for almost 2 years). He was saying something to me but I couldn't remember what he'd said when I woke up. I felt strange about it and it confused me throughout the day. The whole day just felt strange but in a really calm or peaceful way. The following day I found out he had died the day before I had the dream. I wish I'd remembered what he had said. Is this a common kind of dream to have? Before you know they have passed?

5/21/2018 11:06:55 pm

I had a dream last night in this dream I was with my cousin and my brother. We was walking towards the restroom .then I seen my sister she passed away about 10 years and she looked real good like she was at peace.then I said I sure do love my sister and she looked at me and said back I sure do love my brother. Then we walked passed each other and we touched each other as we walked passed each other . It felt so real I felt her touch and I had such a peaceful feeling in my heart. Then I told my cousin that I know that this is a dream but I just seen my sister I told him this in my dream. So I knew that I was dreaming while I was dreaming And wen I woke up I knew this wasn't a regular dream. So that's why I looked up dream visitations and now I know that that had to be a dream visitation

Yes what you experienced is a visitation.

My mother passed away this April after a decade-long battle with dementia. The past few years were especially difficult as she lost the ability to speak, to recognize loved ones, and finally, the ability to walk.
While she was still alive, I had a visitation dream from her. She was fully restored, looked to be about 30, and was wearing a hair clip that I remembered seeing as a child. She showed me a TV set that sometimes lost connection and was all static. I believe this was her metaphor for living with dementia. She said she just got through it. She also said that to celebrate her birthday, which I understood to mean for her death, or rebirth to the afterlife, she wanted me to take her (her memory) with me on vacation. She said maybe three weeks, to which I replied I couldn't go for that long. She said maybe I'd finally make it to the west of the Rockies and smiled.
At the very end of her life she stopped eating or drinking, and was hospitalized with severe dehydration. The doctor gave me the option of keeping her alive with fluids, or allowing her to pass. I believed my mother did not want to live in such a helpless state, so I said we should let her go. Watching her pass felt both sacred and horrifying. I felt like I was killing someone I was supposed to try to protect and save. My brother and I held her hand and talked to her the whole way through it.
She passed away on our late father's birthday. And three weeks later, I had a trip I'd already scheduled... to California, over Mother's Day. I looked into the Sierra Nevada and was awed by the beauty, and thought that anyone with a crisis of faith should see this sight to have faith restored.
I've been looking for a visitation dream since she passed. Last night, it seemed I finally had one, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I found her hanging. I couldn't see her face--just her body wearing a familiar outfit, and her hands, which I'd recognize anywhere. I knew she was there, "alive," but was so confused as to why she'd appear like this to me, in such a disturbing fashion. I tried to call out to her, but had trouble getting the words out. After tremendous effort, I successfully screamed, "I LOVE YOU!!!" A moment later she was lying prone on the floor. And a moment after that she was gone.
I've been puzzling over the meaning of this. A positive spin is that she was bound, and I freed her. I felt so glad that I successfully communicated to her that I love her, but so disturbed that she appeared to me hanging. Is she in trouble? Do I have work to do? I have been wondering why I haven't seen her. And I'm still not sure whether this dream indicates she's okay, or in a place where she still struggles.

9/24/2018 05:31:38 pm

This def. is quit an experience. My mom and I had to unplug my grandmother and that was horrifying as the body fought so hard to stay alive.

These interconnections b/w passing your father's bday and the mountains has some form of significance. I think your intuition writing this spoke its truth on saying I love you and maybe if it comes again there will be clarity. I do think souls are okay unless they left unfinished business.

Hi
Last week my family went to a 2 story holiday house for a 2 night stay. Over the course of the first day/night various family heard footsteps going up the stairs and along the hallway. My son saw dark shadows after hearing footsteps and at one stage was walking up the stairs and felt like he was being followed. He turned around to see a dark shadow behind him. My daughter was also going up the stairs when she felt the need to turn around and saw a face behind her. Strange things seem to intensify when by the 2nd night I was talking to my daughter in my room and saw a solid figure walk past my door going to my daughters room. My daughter developed a sudden pain in her head and her ear and was beside herself in pain. That was enough to make us leave and cut our holiday short. We contacted the lady who owned the house to see if anyone else had reported anything unusual. She said no but got in someone the next night to check it out. The person on entering the house knew something was present and said it was concentrated around the stairs (we hadn’t passed on any information) and in my daughters room where the energy was so bad she could not even enter it. She cleansed the house and sent the spirit on its way. She said he was lost and probably died from suicide or another tragedy and was after answers.
Lastnight (3 nights after seeing the figure) my daughter had a dream where the spirit from the house was in it (she said it was the face from the stairs). She said he touched her hair and said do you remember when I used to do this and it was very calming. She asked his name and he replied and asked where he was from and he shock his head and started going out the door and turned back and waved.
We are not too sure what all this means and why my daughter was the ‘chosen one’. She is feeling ok about the dream but says she is grieving. Could he just have been giving her closure after the house experience maybe? We don’t know of anyone who has passed so it’s completely random.

9/24/2018 05:39:23 pm

This is a tough one to investigate. I do think children are more intuitive, open and receptive and maybe he was reaching out to her as children have a way of being that adults do not have.

Is there anyone you know who may have died who used to stroke her hair in real life? Maybe he did that to a little girl in his real life? And she is the chosen one for him to relive the moment.

5/27/2019 09:27:03 pm

I just wanted to update where things are at.
A year later we went to talk to the lady who did a cleansing on the holiday house the night following our experience. We all talked of our experience especially my daughters dream. She said she felt it was someone we new like a relative or friend of the family. I thought long and hard but couldn’t work it out. About 3am one morning this March (my daughters birthday) I had randomly woken up. I was awake for a bit then was trying to go back to sleep when suddenly infront of my eyes (eyes were closed) a neon sign flashed the name of the man from my daughters dream. The letters then switched around to reveal another name. It then came to me that the name was that of my sons close friend who was killed in an accident 5-6 weeks after our holiday stay. I feel he was reaching out to us for help (he was a bit troubled). This all matched in with my daughters dream as she was in her school classroom when he visited in her dream. She knew him mostly from school but also as her brothers friend. Other things happened in the dream that made sense.
We are somewhat at peace now with everything.

I've been reconnecting with a lot of people there last few months. One of them is an old boyfriend's of mine sister. His name is Miles. I met him on Grateful Dead tour. He is absolutely beautiful. He was really sweet to me. We where in San Diego when we parted ways with the intentions of getting back together. This was due to circumstances. Not because we disliked each other or didn't get along. He had a pretty bad drug problem and I was getting there too. We were homeless and had no money. Not homeless on the streets but Couchsurfing. He was going to Colorado to live with his dad to get cleaned up and I was going to meet him out there but as time went by I didn't want to leave California again for a man with no real security. Been there done that. Anything could happen and then use be stranded. Even though it was Telluride and it's absolutely beautiful there. We eventually grew apart and lost contact because neither of us were very stable not had phones. This was before cell phones and social media

Well anyways years went by I got together with my nownow, had my daughter and soon after a son and moved to Sacramento.

Out of the blue I began having these really intense dreams about him. So intense that I would wake up longing for him. Having this feeling that he was my soulmate and I had made a big mistake. I became very heartsick with love for him and missed him so much. I didn't know how to find him. He had no listing

Eventually the feeling subsides we and I continue in my Loveless and abusive relationship. But he never left my heart. I would still think of him often. He gave me strength to endure the neglect and cruelty that was inflicted upon me just by knowing that not all men are like this.

some more years went by( about 8 years.) Then Last year I Googled his name and to my shock and disbelief I was looking at his obituary. He had died some years ago in a car accident in Colorado. It took my breath away. I was deeply saddened that he had died at such a young age. I think he was 36.

I begin recollecting the dreams I had of him which I don't remember the dreams per se but the feeling I had when I woke from them. And the time that they had happened. and it was right around the same time when he died. I came to the realization that it was actually him, his spirit, that visited me. Keep in mind when I began having these dreams he had become just a distant memory to me I thought of him from time to time but it wasn't anything more than that.

Instead of grief I was filled with comfort and the unconditional love that he had for me. After all those years he still loved me. Enough so that he came to tell me he's still with us and not to be sad for him. He is free now from his physical body and his addiction that had haunted him most of his adult life and the struggle that goes along with it. But it wasn't until I found out that he had died that I felt great comfort because I wasn't aware of his passing. I was wondering why all if sudden I began to dream of him. Now I know why.

I have also ended that abusive relationship which took a lot of time to heal from. And to regain my identity. I dispe some time alone
And an now involved in a relationship with a man who is very loving, respectful and attentive to me. It's a very healthy relationship.

I'm a very spiritual being and believe when we die by we are just transcending into another dimension and a higher consciousness. This is the first personal experience I've had that confirmed it to me.

I would appreciate it if you could please tell me your thoughts and expertise about this.
Thank you for your time.
Blessings to you 🙏

Wow what an experience. I wonder if there is a deep soul bond or lessons / karma you too experienced. I know some of these "karmic" lessons include a deep and fond love but somehow life doesn't make it work - drugs, cheating, abuse etc. Its like a beautiful love that is not realistic.

I do think this was visitation and maybe some healing stirred up ? Maybe for you? Maybe for his soul? There is a reason but I may not have the exact answer.

A friend of mine had a sudden, unexpected passing last May. I hadn't had any dreams about him until two nights ago when he "visited" me. I dreamt he called me on what seemed like a phone (the way I interpreted it, it could have been telepathic but I heard his voice clearly). After what I think was a hello, I said "You're dead." He then very clearly said in a resigned but sort of surprised voice "I'm dead...I died." He started talking in the rambling voice I remembered during his life, but the sudden realization that I was talking to a dead person overwhelmed me and the dream ended. I felt like he seemed at peace and I wasn't afraid of him. When I woke up in the morning the visitation instantly and clearly popped into my head. I could tell I had had other dreams but they were foggy and I couldn't remember the details at all. I can still picture his voice and the way he sounded so vividly it was like he was alive. I only wish my shock hadn't taken over so I could have heard what he had to say.

Hello! I am almost 100% certain I had a visitation dream last night.

My brother, he committed suicide.

I was sitting on a couch with my mother and my brother that are still alive. My brother had a monster energy drink can and its floated up. My mother said that's Pete (my brother that had died) I said I know. She said Pete do it again and he floated it up again. I then remember being in heaven with him and he looked amazing. I dont know what he said but it felt like we were joking around and that he wanted to let me know he was in the happiest place ever. I remember waking up. I'm not sure if I actually woke or not but I was laughing so hard. I looked over and I was pushed up all the way on the left side of the bed. I normally sleep on the right side. I then fell back asleep. As if he wanted me to know he was really there when I fell back asleep I was still laughing so much. I felt myself really laughing like I was laughing in real life and I knew I was dreaming. I didnt want to wake up and I wanted to stay in his presence.

When I did wake up I didnt remember the dream right away. I went and took a shower and then it all hit me. The dream was so vivid.

Today I have looked at the clock at 12:12, 1:11, 2:22 and 3:33 all by coincidence.

Maybe you have more insight? Can I ask him to come back? Is it fun for them to visit us.

Me and Pete as kids always talked if one died that if we could we would let the other know that we were alright. We said we would kinda mess with each other. His birthday is on 9/9 so just passed. He said he would be a red tail hawk if he could be. 2 days before his birthday 2 red tail hawks kept circling over my house. I took pictures. Then my mom said she kept finding feather and I remember a feather I saw on my roof cleaning it. I went to go back up on the roof to grab it and it was on my porch. I looked up red tail hawk feather and long behold that's what type of feather it was. Was he visiting? Was the other hawk my little brother that passed away 20 years ago?

Ive been seeing those numbers too! I would say your intuition and your "contract" w/ your brother is right. If he said he would mess w/ you and you feel like he is, then well, he is.

I also had an experience w/ that on my uncle as a hawk. I do believe this is possible and the incarnation can briefly take moments into another species. Many native Americans believed in that.

I had a visitation dream when I was 12 (am now 18). A close family friend had passed from years of declining ill health & i remember all of my family crying but I did not.

I've heard that sometimes loved ones appear to those in the clearest mindsets as it's easier than trying to connect with those who's minds may be consumed with grief. Although i was grieving, for 12 I seemed to be handling it surprisingly well which is why i feel that he came to me to share to the rest of the family that he was 'ok' & it was a vivid, intense experience and feeling i will never forget.

I had somehow in my dream popped up in this house, everything was white and somewhat misty. Confused, i walked around a bit more and then came to the sudden realisation that i had been transported to his house (a cleaner, whiter version).
I remember in my dream being so confused and mainly looking at the misty floor and as i was passing the staircase, i saw these feet. I looked up and there he was standing halfway up the stairs, he looked like he was climbing them and then suddenly saw me. I remember the feeling of being so unbelieveably shocked that i could not speak.
He could evidently see my shock & said to me "are you okay?" In which i smiled and nodded in response. He then nodded back and continued to climb the stairs so i tried to follow him upstairs too but he turned around and said "i am going to see my brother (whom had passed years before) you stay here".

I was taken aback but i am guessing these stairs somehow represented the 'stairway to heaven' and he made it clear that i should not go up there and that he was going to see his brother. I still remember every detail so vividly & i do not think i will ever forget that amazing experience.

This is interesting. First the transition from something misty to something more "pure" in the sense of light and white is fascinating and the stairs in general seem like you understand from your intuition that it could be the stairway to heaven, which you probably could not enter. But I do think what you experience is legit in the sense of the interaction and him seeing the brother.

I have dreams of people that have died and I’ve never seen them before, I know their names and how they died. They often chase me and I run away, they make me jump - lights will go out and when they come in they’re stood in front of my face, look into a mirror and they’re staring back at me etc. what does this mean and why are they trying to contact me?

5/27/2019 09:22:04 am

I am not sure exactly why they are doing this, but it would be good to note whether these spirits come from the light or the dark. You don't want it to be like an eclipse where they are feeding off your light. A healer may be able to give more insight.

My husband recently passed away suddenly. My daughter and I both had a very similar dream were when we woke we knew we had felt him. We awoke to a feeling of warmth and comfort. In my dream he was dressed in his favourites and was standing outside our back door, I swung the door open and we embraced. We then strolled through the home, I was leaning into him. Although he didn’t physically speak in the dream we had a conversation that left me feeling at peace. The day he passed I came home and found him, it was a very traumatic experience. I continuously visualized that moment. After the dream occurred every time my mind would wonder to that thought I was unable to visualize. Then I had another dream. I was visiting him. We were cozied in on OUR couch but it was his home? I felt he was taking it easy, resting maybe? The entire house was all windows, floor to ceiling; with a beautiful scenery outside the windows. Beautiful is an understatement. It was vibrant, alive almost. There was water and trees. For some reason I can remember this perfectly but don’t recall looking out the windows in the dream. The home felt comforting and bright. I got the feeling that he lived there alone. I was cozied into his legs, We talked of his funeral, his friends, our children and then I got the sense that I had to go and woke up. This dream was soooooo Vivid. Although in the dream I did not explore the house it’s as though I know what it looks like inside. Again I woke feeling as though I had been with him. Warm comforting and calm.

Hi, thank you for sharing and these are powerful indeed. It sounds like the experience was warm and healing in general, esp. if you found him deceased in real life. Windows are well windows and they bring in the light and things can grow in a greenhouse per say, so maybe there is some symbolism there where that experience or the love grew for those momentary experiences in the spirit world. I know when I had dreams of my uncle I was in a place I've never been before. I think that is normal as dream states in my opinion or a mix of spirit + logic.

It was the first time after my dad’s passing, 4 months ago, that I have a vivid dream about my father.

In my dream, dad and I rushed to the hospital to see my mom. We were in a hurry because we were told that my mom met a road accident and was DOA in the hospital. Dad went straight to mom’s bed and held her while I stopped by the door to gather my strength. Then suddenly, mom woke up without a clue.

I am still grieving for the loss of my dad. I have been experiencing vivid dreams and would immediately look up their meaning in the morning. But this time it is different and quite hard to interpret.

My moms friend whom I was very close with passed away. He was very depressed due to a condition that began with him teeth. Rest his soul, he hung himself. Shortly after that, I started a relationship with a man who I fell quickly in love with. I have had 10-20 dreams of the man who passed, and every dream included the man I had been seeing. The last dream I had, he said goodbye to us and said he loved us. I never had a dream again. To me, for him to have seemed so fond of this man I had been dating made no sense. They had never met, and the man as great as he was, was not ready for commitment. 1 year later, I’m not longer with the guy. I’m having a hard time understanding why all those dreams took place. Why would he give me false hope? I’m now with someone else, who has given me everything I had ever hoped for from the last guy. I’m afraid to move forward with him in fear my destiny is tied to the last guy. Help!

My friend who I loved deeply died 13 yrs ago in a motorcycle accident. We were close as kids and had kissy kissy crushes on each other. I always thought one day we wound end up really dating but then lost contact and eventually i met my husband. Also, My brother died in a motorcycle accident 34 yrs ago. I had ankle reconstruction surgery 3 yrs ago & could not take pain meds due to allergic reaction, so only tylenol. The first night I attempted to sleep in my bed with my husband is when I had this visitation dream. I was in lots of pain , a bootcast & leg propped up. During the night i remember sitting up & my friend appeared before me as if it were so real. I was startled and happy and freaked out saying I thought u died. He leaned in and hugged me. Then I woke up ,it was dark, i sat up and was like what the hell was that. It was so real I actually thought someone had to be in the house I was pleasantly freaked out. I layed in bed feeling so good but freaked. As soon as I woke up in the morning I immediately started researching it. I never felt something so real in my life. It sticks with me as if it happened yesterday. I did not know what to make of it. Why would he come see me, it had been so long since we had seen each other. At his funeral looking at him in the casket I thought why why why...we never got the chance to reconnect. I was so heart broken. Maybe he came to me cuz I needed that comfort and to make me feel like I was going to be ok.. I dont know but I think about it all the time .

There is an experience recently that I have not been able to shake. Funny enough, it is not my own. It is my grandmother’s. My father passed away when I was six years old. I am now approaching 30. A week or two ago she shared with my mother and I that my dad had visited her. (She is very connected with her spiritual self and has experienced this many times.) He asked her about my mother, myself, and my two siblings. How our lives were, and how we were doing. Before he left her he asked for a photo of me. I am his eldest child, we had an incredible close bond. She shared the peace and clarity she felt when he was with her. Now, I could not help but wonder, why not I ? What are your thoughts on it? Are there things we do that keep the spirits of loved one at bay?

I lost a good friend a year and a half ago suddenly and very unexpectedly. I dreamt about him a couple weeks ago. In my dream, we didnt talk or touch each other. He smiled at me and I felt an incredible peace.

I dreamt about him again this morning and all I can recall is that I had to protect him? He was extremely upset in this dream and crying..

My Mother passed away a month ago, her funeral was yesterday, it was snowing in the morning but sun was shining bright at the funeral.
Last night I saw my mother in my dream. I was in her house although I could not recognise the room.
I saw my Mother, she looked healthy. We hugged, we cried together and said how much we miss and love eachother. It was very comforting and not scary, I knew in the dream that she had passed away.

Some may feel it's a just a dream but has brought me comfort as I was not able to be there when she passed, due to Covid restrictions. My sister was with her and told her I loved her.

Last night I had a dream, of my mother in law visiting me. It has been approx 2.5 years since she passed, we were very close and I miss her dearly. All this time I've been waiting to see her, for a sign, something. Since her passing continuously see the numbers 1111, bit last night I finally saw her! I was in a house I didn't recognize, with a man I didn't know.
I looked over on a shelf and hebhad a younger photo of me, and a photo of her . Suddenly my husband and children were there as well, sitting in a kitchen ( this all seemed like a normal weird dream) suddenly she came into the room, from a hallway, walking, (she could no longer walk without assistance) huge smile, like we hadn't seen her in a while, there was a glow surrounding her entire body. As soon as I saw her I began to cry happily, and moved towards her and hugged her and said you came back and sobbed . She looked so healthy and vibrant. She said I can only stay for about 15 minutes as we walked to a couch and sat down as I rocked her in my lap while crying tears of joy. I suddenly woke up straight away to wake my husband and tell him all about it. I was crying , and I got out of bed got a drink and couldn't believe that I had just seen her! I truly feel as though we were literally just together! I feel so much comfort , what an incredible feeling!
