Sometimes our loved ones in spirit feel a need to renew contact with us on earth. As we all lead such busy lives we may be unaware of their efforts to reach out to us. So often they will contact us directly in our dreams.
You may have already have had a dream in which a loved one in spirit spoke to you. Do you recall the experience in great detail? Did it feel as if your loved one was actually there besides you? If so the chances are it was so much more than a dream.
Dreams such as this often occur at times when we are struggling with our grief at their loss, or it can also happen when we are very troubled in other areas of our lives and wish they were still around to help and advise. So in response to our great need they will contact us directly. This is often referred to as spontaneous afterlife communication.
Dream visitations such as this are extremely common and if you question friends you will probably find many have had a similar experience.
However there are various other reasons they may contact us such as:- It could be that our loved ones just want to reassure us that they are safe and well on the other side and don’t want us to worry about them anymore.
Sometimes they visit because they are concerned about another family member (often a remaining spouse) and they would like us to pay special attention to this person’s needs.
They may also wish to pass a message to you which may be so profound it could change your life’s course for ever.
So why do they come in our sleep? It could be that when we sleep we are in an altered state of consciousness and this makes us more open to communication from other worlds.
As this state exists when we are daydreaming or meditating then we could also receive a visit at these times too.
So how can you tell the difference between a normal dream and a genuine visitation?
First of all it would feel nothing at all like a normal dream. It would be seem very real and once the dream had faded this feeling would remain long after you wake up.
In the dream you would be fully aware that your loved one is no longer alive. During normal dreams we often think the person is still alive, until we wake up.
Often in these kind of dreams other family members in spirit will appear as well, as if to confirm to you that everyone is reunited and caring for each other.
At the end of the dream your loved one would probably touch or hug you.
During the time you spent together you may also visit places that would be familar to both of you, such as your old family home.
People often report a feeling of peace after such dreams knowing that their loved ones are always there for them and that they can still see them from time to time in their dreams. Having had such a magical moment together it should make it easier to cope and carry on living your life to the full just as they would have wanted you to.

well my grandma just passed away and i found the tv remote in my room on my desk so thats my exspernices
after my mom died, i had a dream she was in my house with my dad who had passed away, they were dressed in blue flowing gowns, it seemed so real and they were so happy togather. my mom told me ,you will get the little girl you been wanting.
Is it good or evil
Hi, I consider myself very open to many things. I have visions of people, numbers, dates, and dreams that are so vivid….family and friends come to me for advice about money, love, and etc…My grandmother just past away a month ago. She has appeared in my dreams three times. No one else in my family has had dreams of her since her passing. The First dream I only heard her laugh. In which her last years of her life she hardly ever laugh. The Second dream she is in a rocking chair, and she looks exactly the way she did when she passed on. And she is just staring at me and is about to tell me something until suddenly I wake up quickly. The Third dream I am pushing my grandmother in her wheelchair in a long endless hallway and She is once again laughing. She is talking to me but I cant make up the words she is saying. But all remember is her laughing..Then suddenly she is not in her wheel chair anymore. For some reason I look behind me and she looks young and 1000 times more beautiful then what she looked like when she was younger. She is behind this glass door and behind her there is nothing but white light. She is looking straight at me. She smiles and walks away. My grandma new when she was alive that I was very open to the spirit world. and she told me her father was the same way. So I am glad she is using me to tell my family she is okay. But since then Ive been having dreams about other deceased people. Like my childhood friend who died at age 12 in a tragic car accident. I’ve been feeling his presence..So i wonder if there is something he needs. his family lives 4 houses down from me……Ive been seeing alot of shadows and hearing voices. This has been happening since my grandmother passed…I have me more perceptive…It scares me alot…i dont know what to say to them
Corrina… Ihad commented about the article on A.A. Empire Hightstown Nj being haunted… and I honestly believe that someone who passed away is pretty p*ssed off with the Pascuccis for ripping my family off . The Pascuccis have no moral compass… and the deceased always protected my family while alive. After what Gene and Kathleen Pascucci pulled on my family…I have no doubt that the spirit upset. I also believe that those with paranormal abilities actually see spirits as normal as the living. I think some are given the job of guiding us and others are people we had in our lives that come to help us out when we are in a state of need. In the mean time, anyone doing business with the Pascuccis.. use a lawyer
I am 18 years old and throughout my entire life I have came into contacts with my grandmother who i never had a chance to meet. As a small child I would describe her to my mom, and when i was alone my mom would overhear me talking to my grandmother. As of recently she has been contacting me more. About a month ago I dreamt she had came back to life. Ive grown up in the house where she lived at the time of her passing and shes contacted me many times, but only at home. I also have dreams where people tell me things, and then later on i find out its actually happened.
I’m curious to figure out my first dream out of about 4 or 5 i’ve had of my ex who sadly passed may last yr. I would never have found out if it werent for the first. An very very strangely it happened in february befor he passed. In the dream i was reliving a memory of the two of us wen we were deeply in love. It felt so real an i hadnt heard from him in couple yrs. It didnt make sense at the time an the harder i tried to shake or forget it, my worry for him grew more an more intense. Befor i begun my search i had this terrible feeling that something bad was happening or that he was dead. Eventually i tracked dwn some one with solid answers an it was confirmed. After a couple wks of confusion around this first dream i remembered a promise i asked him to make me.- If he was ever in trouble to contact me no matter what, no matter how, on the ph, in person, in a dream. An if he ever died, that his contact would be even more important.- it provided some answers an relief to remember this promise. An it was up lifting to know he kept his promise. But how did he do this first dream if he was still alive? Astral travel? An what could be other reasons for his contact?If he was in trouble an needed my help it was impossible, i didnt even know he moved states until he passed. Any advise, opinions/ information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks B-)
