Vivid dreams

[nightcapers]

Hello everyone hope you are all doing as well as can be expected in these difficult times.
I lost my husband five years ago. It's been hard of course but I'm generally okay.
Recently I have had a couple of very vivid dreams about him. In the dreams we are very close physically and I can actually feel him. It should be comforting and it is in a way,but also shakes me up.
I long for him to stay so much in the dream and when I come out of it its almost like losing him again .
I feel love from him in the dreams and we are very close.
The last one I had I was asking me to take me with him but he was quite stern. I still have a lot still to do here!
Had anyone has any similar experiences?
I'm sorry if this has raised any upset for anyone. Thank you for listening

I dreamt of my late DH often soon after he died four years ago. In the dreams he didn't know he was dead and was vague, sheepish and a bit dim, not in the least like his vital, intelligent self in life. DD had the same dreams, not the same narrative, but the same representation of her father.

I've had a few dreams lately where he's leaving me/separating/divorce. None if this involves conversation, I just know, as you do in dreams. These dreams are horrible and upsetting, the anguish I feel in the dream is searing.

I can see that the dreams represent ways of processing the death and I still think any dream is better than none.

So sorry for your loss, nightcapers. I feel for you.

Thank you echt for your reply. Sorry to hear you've been going through it all too. I have had dreams where my husband is leaving me and it's horrible especially as you don't get any comfort when it's over.
I do agree that any dreams are better than none.
I'm sure they must help in working through the grief and sometimes can be a comfort.
Thanks again and take care

for you.
