What does it mean to talk to dead in dreams?

Answer 1

It just means you miss a loved one of someone you know has died.

The question is difficult because there are too many possibilities. "A dead person" might be a historic individual, a deceased celebrity, an anonymous decrepit corpse, or a recently deceased loved one. Generally speaking, dreams of the deceased are a normal part of the grieving process. See the attached webpage below for more examples and discussion of similar dreams.

Answer 2

There is no single meaning that applies to all dreams of talking with dead people. Superstitions about such dreams foretelling the dreamer's own death or the death of someone the dreamer knows - or even that there will be a birth - are just that: superstitions without any basis in fact. However, death IS universal, so the odds are 100% that someone the dreamer knows will die (or become pregnant) within a few days, weeks, months or years after the dream occurs. Such events are not caused by the dream or predicted by the dream in any way.

> The meaning of this specific dream depends on many things, including the identity of the dead person, the emotional tone of the dream, and what happens in the dream itself. For example, a dream of talking with a grandparent or ancestor would be very different from talking with a zombie or with a famous person from history.

Answer 3

Dreams of the deceased are very common after the death of a friend or loved one and represent the normal process of grieving. Otherwise, the meaning of this particular dream cannot be determined without further information. Dreaming of a dear family member who tells something to the dreamer would be very different from a dream of a scary zombie. The interpretation also hinges on what the dead person said. See the link below for further discussion and possibilities.

Answer 4

Assuming that the question refers to a DREAM of having a dead person talk to you, it means that you feel that you have unfinished business or unanswered questions with the deceased. The dream represents your own mind's effort to resolve the business or question. It is not at all unusual for such dreams to lead directly to the required resolution.

Answer 5

This particular dream's meaning depends entirely on who the dead person is that you talk with. Obviously, talking with a beloved departed relative would mean something vastly different from talking with a misty ghost of some unknown ancient figure, or with a decaying corpse, or with some famous person from history. The emotions you experience during the dream are also significant, whether you feel Horror or love, awe or revulsion. See the link below for further discussion about dreams of the dead.

Answer 6

Dreaming of dead loved ones is a natural part of the grieving process. It can take longer for the subconscious mind to accept the finality of death than it takes the conscious mind, and dreams can be a way of bringing that loved one back as well as a way of working toward acceptance of the loss.

> Most of the world's great spiritual traditions affirm the continuation of life and love beyond the boundary of death. There is no reason not to to accept your dream as assurance of the continuing loving care of this loved one.

Answer 7

This depends on how recently the person passed away, the person's relationship to the dreamer, and what was said in the dream. It is a normal part of the grieving process to dream of the person who has died, as the subconscious mind (which produces dreams,) adjusts to the reality of that person's absence. Alternatively, the dead person might symbolize the dreamer's past. Or, a memory of the deceased might have been triggered by an event, sound or even an odor on the preceding day.

Answer 8

You really have to ask yourself if there is any real proof that someone can talk to the dead. More often than not it is a con job.

Answer 9

There isn't a problem if you do this. It is actually very common. It is just a sign that you miss them. I'm sure that they hear you in there spot up in Heaven. ;)
