A dream in which a person appears who is no longer living—often with a sense of their real presence.
Meeting a deceased person in a dream is surrounded by perhaps the most persistent folk superstitions—from warnings to good tidings, depending on what the deceased did or said. We neither confirm nor deny such superstitions—we look at what the dream says about you yourself. Such dreams often carry not a literal message from the beyond, but reflect an unfinished emotional process with that person—what was left unsaid, unforgiven, unloved. The psyche continues the dialogue where real life cut it off.
Longing, warmth, sometimes anxiety or a lack of closure
Often arrives around anniversaries, periods of life changes, or when something in life reminds you of that person. Perhaps there are words or feelings toward this person that have still not found closure.
Write a short letter to this person—not to send, but to give voice to what was left unsaid.
