What does it mean when one dreams that a dead person is still alive?

Answer 1

Dreams of the deceased are common and normal when one is grieving a loved one. The subconscious mind can struggle to accept the reality and finality of death, and uses dreams as a way to continue to be with the dead person. These dreams usually fade with time, but might occasionally recur over the years.

They have been closest to you and they've come to keep you company and these dreams can last a lifetime too.

Answer 2

Dreams often reflect feelings of grief and loss. Sometimes dreams seem to express an unwillingness to accept the finality of death, bringing back images of the deceased as a way of denial. Such dreams might also be attempts to resolve unfinished business, or opportunities to say important things that could not be said before the loved one died. In this sense, the dreams can be very therapeutic and healing. Please see the attached link for further information.

Answer 3

This dream could have any number of different meanings depending on the dreamer's relationship with the other person, how recent the death might be, the emotional content of the dream, the scenario or story told by the dream, and many other possibilities. If the death was recent, then the dream probably is a normal part of the grieving process, which can extend for many months or years. Another possibility is that the dreamer simply misses the deceased. Alternatively, a familiar sound or sight, place or fragrance might have triggered a memory that in turn brought about the dream.
