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.

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?
