Grief exhausts you with inhuman force, spares you nothing and knocks you to your knees. When you no longer have your beloved person by your side, the other 7 billion people are irrelevant to you. People leave this world for various reasons, but they always remain in our memories, and occasionally spend time in our dreams.
What is a dream and why does it occur?
Have you ever wondered what a dream is and why it arises in our head? Scientists, psychologists, esotericists and sensitives still haven’t agreed on a single opinion. One thing is if you dream about a voyage at sea or an exciting journey, but what should you do when you often dream of deceased relatives?
It’s impossible to ignore such dreams, because a person immediately begins to wonder why these dreams occur. We have discovered the reason why deceased relatives appear in your dreams and offer you some recommendations on what to do in such cases.
Our grandmothers always knew that a dream with the deceased is a symbol of warning against danger. It is a message from the other world about upcoming changes in your life. In this way the deceased try to convey information to the world of the living — to warn or to support.
In a dream it’s hard to control yourself, but you should try to listen carefully and remember everything that was said to you. Very often it happens that what we hear in a dream comes true in reality. Do not try to follow the deceased; it is a harbinger of illness, failure or imminent death.
In one encyclopedia concerning Slavic culture there is the following recommendation: “If the deceased appeared in your dream, look at his feet. If they are not there, or if instead of them you see hooves, know that evil is on the rise. Drive it away, cross yourself and say the prayer you know.”
Modern as well as older dream interpreters disagree and explain what caused the appearance of the deceased. Some believe that it is not a good sign and others, on the contrary, predict positive things. Take a look at the dream interpretations that appear in dreambooks.
DREAM INTERPRETATIONS
21st Century Dreambook: a new period will come into your life. Seeing a crying deceased person — great disagreements and quarrels.
Oriental: health problems will arise.
Imperial: events from the past will not give you peace even in the present.
Idiomatic: the difficult period is finally over; prepare yourself for a calm and harmonious life.
Italian: an argument with a friend — you will fervently defend your opinion.
If your deceased mother helps you with household chores in a dream, then your family life is in danger.
Kissing the deceased in a dream — a long and happy life.
If you dreamed of your father, then you will not keep your promises or you will go into debt.
If you have a dream about a deceased wife or husband, you probably did not fulfill what you promised them during their lifetime. Try to think about it and make amends.
If you wonder why you dream of a deceased grandmother, grandfather or any close person, in most cases it is due to missed opportunities.
Always remember that you cannot return the past. Do not blame yourself for the mistakes of your past.
Esotericists claim that the relationship with a close person does not end after death. There is always a spiritual connection between them that is strong enough for them to appear in their dreams. The dead come to ask for help; their souls are suffering, even though they do not feel physical pain.
If the deceased in a dream asks you to feed them, hug them, kiss them or warm them, do not be frightened and do not refuse. Only in this way can the soul find the long-awaited peace.
Assess your emotional state after waking up
If you are calm, then the deceased person is living a peaceful afterlife. But if you wake up in a cold sweat or remain frightened for a long time, the soul of the dead is suffering.
You don’t have to immediately seek help from mediums, healers or sensitives. You risk not only losing time but also money. In most cases deceased relatives appear in a dream because you remember them. They were an important person in your life and you still haven’t come to terms with their loss.
No one can refute the existence of an afterlife, just as no one can prove the opposite. Our bodies are not eternal, so why do we condemn the soul to suffering? If you feel anxious after meeting the deceased in a dream, try praying for them.
The holy fathers recommend that you do not pay excessive attention to a dream: “In the morning wake up, read the morning prayer and continue your daily rituals. You can request a memorial mass at church and light a candle for the repose of the deceased. He in the other world will receive God’s grace and your earthly prayer ‘sheet of love’.”
If the anxious dreams do not stop, light a church candle in the evening and ask a priest to bless your dwelling. If you do not have the opportunity to call a representative of the church, do it yourself. First, make the sign of the cross three times in a row, read the prayer “Our Father” and ask our Lord for help. With the candle move to all corners of the rooms and afterwards sprinkle them with holy water. End the whole process with the words: “Lord, let Your will be done. Not as I want, but as You want.”
Prayer will always calm you
However, if for some reason you do not adhere to a particular religious teaching, turn to a psychologist. The specialist will help you get through the whole situation and understand the entire problem. Do not shut yourself off and do not suppress nervousness and unrest. There are various situations in life and sometimes events occur where you need the help of friends.
