Dreamt about our dog that passed

Firstly, I am totally skeptical of this sort of stuff. We lost our wonderful doggo about 5 months ago, he was old but the end was very traumatic and unexpected and he had to be PTS at the emergency vets.

I had a dream about a month ago which I keep thinking about. It’s the only dream I’ve had about him since he died - and I remember I was semi awake because I could hear my husband telling me it was time to get up. Basically it was our lovely dogs face, incredibly close up, but he looked strange because parts of his face were incredibly bright (almost white / golden) when he’s a dark coloured dog. I didn’t touch him in the dream but he was just staring intently at me and looked happy. I’m not a big believer in the spiritual side of things, but it felt so real and incredibly powerful (almost like I was connecting to him without touching him). Do you think it was possible this really was him coming back to say he’s ok? Husband thinks I’m nuts, but I’ve found it difficult to cope with how he passed and it’s almost like he was letting me know it’s ok. I’m also aware our brains can play tricks on us, and maybe I wanted to have a dream about him so did.

I dreamt about my Mam a lot when she died and I was barely an adult but it was the shock of it all and my minds way of trying to process it. I once dreamt she was telling me she was ok so that was a head fuck when I woke up. I seldom dream about her 20+ years on.

In answer to your question, it’s normal to dream about such things. It’s also normal to dream about people you’ve not seen or heard from for years who happen to pop up in your dream randomly.

I don't believe in Rainbow Bridge or any form of meeting lost family / pets in any after life.

I sometimes wish I did.

But

my precious girl came back and gave me a kiss.

It's possible it was x

I'm sorry for your loss. All losses are hard, whether expected or not.

I dream about my past dogs a lot. I don't think there is anything woo-woo about it, more the fact that they were an important part of our life and will always be with us.
One night recently I dreamt that two of my boy dogs were running around together, even though they were years apart and never met in reality. But I'm not a believer in Rainbow Bridge. As a previous poster says, I sometimes wish I did believe it.

The night before my dog unexpectedly died (she was only 6), I dreamt of my grandad. He had come down to collect her and told me to say goodbye.

She was dead in the morning. My grandad died 8 years ago and it’s rare for me to dream about him. I truly believe he came to collect her

Personally I would think it was just a dream, but I also think that if it gives you comfort to think it was him coming back to tell you he’s ok, then there’s no harm in believing that if that’s what it felt like to you. Grief is hard to cope with so whatever helps you, go with it.

@Soubriquet that's really lovely and comforting to hear. I hope it bought you comfort too.

I'm the same as a previous poster, I don't really believe in rainbow bridge or the afterlife although I'd love to think hopefully I'm wrong 🌈
