My mum died several years ago. She was a committed Christian (as am I) and her death was sudden and unexpected. I know she’s with Jesus and for at least a couple of years after she died, I’d have similar reoccurring dreams about her. They always followed a similar theme - I’d be in a room and she was there too, always looking incredibly beautiful and almost ‘shiny’. In my dreams I’d feel so much relief at just being able to see her but I was also never able to talk to her. I’d try to say something but her gaze was somewhere else, almost like she couldn’t see or hear me. But there were a few times in the dreams, she’d give me a great big hug and this felt so real, I remember waking up convinced it had really happened.
Even though it’s been a few years, I had one of these dreams again last night and as always, I couldn’t communicate but she did give me a lovely hug.
As a believer I know there’s no communication between worlds but I do wonder if these dreams are just God’s way of giving me a bit of comfort and reminding me mum is safely with him.
Has anyone had anything like this after a bereavement?
