I dreamt my Nanna was speaking to me. I can’t stop crying today.

I woke and glanced at the clock a little before 6am this morning. Decided to close my eyes and doze for a bit.

Next thing I hear my beloved Nan call my name. ‘Are you all ok and healthy’ she asked, I replied we were fine, that we were all doing well. ‘That’s good’ she said - ‘I’m fine too, now don’t forget about me will you’ she said. I said ‘Nan, I’ll never ever ever forget about you’. Then I woke up sobbing.

My darling Nan passed away in August and I miss her so much, I spoke to her every single day without fail and she was like my mother - I shared everything with her. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about her.

I know it was a dream and it’s my own cruel mind that has done this - perhaps it’s not cruel as it was a reassuring conversation but I wish it was her, checking in and letting me know she’s ok. I’ve not stopped weeping all day, it’s made me worse. I miss her so much.

Maybe it was her checking in on you ❤️. My grandmother died last week at 98. I was talking to my cousin yesterday and she had a dream she was taking to our GM and really believes she was reaching out. I was a bit jealous. Whether you believe it was really her or not, I do think when we dream about our loved ones it’s another way to spend some time with them. I’m sorry for your loss.

🥰 Biggest of hugs.

We lost our Dad in 2021. My eldest was 2 that year. On her birthday, I heard my Dads voice whilst I was awake lying in bed. I was wide awake and all I heard was 'Kim'

It was so real and at the time it did freak me.

Take all the signs. Take them for what they mean to you at the time.

I WISH Dad would come back and say hi again. Miss him more than words could ever describe

I had a lovely dream a few months ago that felt so real. I woke up and felt devastated. I cried and felt awful all day. It’s never happened before or since. I rarely remember any of my dreams when I wake, but that one was so real. It was the emotions that I felt that made it intense.
