What does it mean when you dream about someone who has died?

Answer 1

It means that you can't stop thinking about the person or, less often, they want to tell you something.

new answerDreams of someone who died recently generally reflect the subconscious mind's effort to cope with that person's sudden absence. Dreams of someone who died sometime ago could have many different meanings depending on the content and context of the dream and the dreamer's personal situation. See the attached website for further information.

People in a dream represent different aspects or ways of thinking. To help indentify the way of thinking, attach a quality to that dream person. If you are female then females will be a conscious way of thinking whereas a male will represent a subconscious thought pattern. Authority figures such as parents, presidents, policemen, priest,etc will be superconscious aspects. It is superconscious mind that houses the blueprint for our completion of wholeness. It is also this part of mind that holds the spirit, or God's energy. this is how we are connected. This energy feeds the rest of mind.

For males then males would be conscious ways of thinking and females would be subconscious aspects.

Dead people, since they are no longer in the physical world, might represent irrelevant thoughts or ways of thinking that are no longer useful. There are some exceptions to this, for instance, there can be communication from those who have withdrawn from the physical. You will know this if you are receiving the message but their mouth doesn't move.

I was in some stage half awake and half asleep but i felt more like i was in a dream state, and i felt somebody in my studio apartment. Walking around me and talking to themselves.

Answer 2

It doesn't mean much except that you haven't forgotten that person.

Answer:

Dreams of the dead are very common, especially during the period following a death when you may be mourning a deep loss. Dreams of a dead person can continue to occur for many years without being cause for concern. Such dreams have no special significance and can be triggered by very subtle things that happen to remind you of the deceased.

Answer 3

Dreams of the deceased are a normal part of the grieving process. Depending on the individual dream, it might illustrate the effort of the subconscious mind to deny the person's loss, or it might show the struggle to accept the reality and permanence of the death. Another interesting theory is that by dreaming of the deceased as still alive then awakening repeatedly to the reality of grief, the mind forces the bereaved to confront the loss and move more quickly through denial toward acceptance.

Answer 4

It the dream concerns a loved one who recently died, then it is a natural part of the grieving process. Your mind is struggling to adjust to the reality and permanence of your loved one's absence. Dreaming is a way that your unconscious mind attempts to bring that person back into your experience. At the same time, each time you awaken and remember that person is gone, the process may be painful, but your conscious mind moves closer to acceptance.

Answer 5

When you dream of a person you has died you seem to have some connection with that particular person.
