Have you ever 'met' people who you've loved and who have died in dreams?

I met and talked with my brother last night in a dream - he died 12 years ago aged 32- and in the dream he knew that he had died and knew what has been happening in my life.
I'm not given to flights of fancy, but this seemed so real. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Hiya my friend's best friend died recently aged 21 and came to visit her in a dream twice. The first time my friend asked her why she had to die, she replied that "they" needed her for a special job because she was such a good person. She said she was happy and not to worry. The second time my friend just heard her laughing for ages it was really lovely and a sign from her that she was ok apparantly. I've never experienced it myself but it sounds like a good experience for you, i dunno if it was real. Quite hard to say without dying!!!!!

My friend who died 5 years ago this month. Only a few times, but it seemed to be at appropriate times, her birthday, anniversary of her death. I always felt hugely comforted and priviliged. Not one for thinking there is much over the other side, but I do believe very much that we are watched over. In one of my dreams she was actually hugging me. Really really lovely.

Meant to ask how you were as well Bubble, got a bit carried away with the post. Have we just been missing each other or are you not on so much? xx

It's the fact that they know what is going on in life which makes it so real. I was left with the feeling that they're always there (the dead people) but can't make 'contact' unless the 'receiver' is open to a visit. Does that make sense??

I've had and am having a crappy time at the moment and have been very reflective of late. Maybe this is a state of mind which is more 'open'.

I am not a God-botherer and I don't even know what my childrens' star signs are so this isn't my usual 'thing'.

I got a hug too and had a conversation that I always felt we should have had when he was alive. I woke up feeling relieved. That I could move on. I hate this kind of speak, BTW. But it fits.

No I do know what you mean completely. You'll hate this too then, but I am sure he is looking out for you.

I'm only basing this theory on the fanciful Hollywood version of being on 'the other side' - as in 'Ghost' 'Sixth Sense' etc. But if people really are 'looking out' for us, I imagine them spending ages talking to us and trying to get through, but only managing when we are vulnerable and emotionally open.

Spot on, Tref! Sorry, you might think you're going into a new sophisticated phase with you new name, but you'll always be Ms Saturday Night to me.

It is a watershed. I felt as though a bridge has been mended when I woke up and increasingly more so during today.

Ok I am going to sound like a nutcase now. But we've been trying to raise a mortgage and were waiting for quite a while for a decision. I don't pray, but I do ask my grandmother and my friend to please make it happen for me if it is supposed to. I don't want you to think I am a raving looney, but I do think that they will want the best for us and I still can't get my head around that there is nowhere for our spirit to go. Can't get my head around anywhere for it to go either though. There, do I get nutter of the night trophey?

Barking. Totally.

We have to go somewhere though, don't we?

I've always understood dreams to be the brain's way of resting. Literally spilling out stuff which hasn't been stored into memory. I haven't thought (consciously, admittedly) about my brother for a while now. Where did his visit come from??

Unnerving and - for me this time - comforting.

It seems so real, doesn't it??

HC. Did they know they were dead when you 'talked' to them?

HC. That's the thing. My brother was really P'd off about dying. It seemed so strange to be discussing someone's death with them.
