Reuniting with loved ones in dreams.

[Skeleton Woman]

There have been a few occasions in my life where I have dreamed of someone that I miss. 
The feeling is a great relief and I wake I suppose feeling as though I have had a visit with them.
Quite a while ago I had a vivid dream of a friend that passed away years before that helped me "move on"  I suppose.  It eased that "I miss you feeling".
Last night I had a dream about a friend that I have not seen or heard from for many years.  She was a very important person to me but we drifted apart as friends sometimes do.  That same "I miss you" feeling has eased but it has made me curious.  Can we visit living friends in dreams?
In both cases is felt as though I had just bumped into them.  I was surprised and overjoyed, then felt better for seeing them.
I would love to hear the stories of others...pretty please

I think you can indeed meet with people you know while asleep, astral travelling. I had an ex tell me they visited me one night and could tell me the stuff that was in my room, like the glass on my bedside table etc.
I haven't had a dream that I have met with someone for a long time. I used to have dreams of going back to my nannas house, and she would be in the house, and we would talk (can't remember what about) but it was known by both of us in the dream that she had actually passed over (dead) she was just where she was most happiest in life.
Maybe I'll have a dream tonight.

[Fire Angel]

ok.. don't think it will be tonight.. still haven;t bloody slept LOL I just can't sleep!

For about 2 weeks after Mum passed I dreamt and dreamt and dreamt about her - so much so that I asked her to stop coming to me - not to sound mean but it was very full on.

For ages I asked my first brother that passed to come and visit me, never has... Now I've asked my second brother to visit me in my dreams, still nothing.... I get very fustrated at the lack of dreams, but I can't complain for all the signs I get, but a dream visit would be nice!

Much love

I keep a dream diary and I have had some spectacular ones over the years ; some pre-cognitve dreams and astral travel to distant friends - who like your example, I could describe things going on in their environment that I shouldn't have known about.
I believe you can re-unite with loved ones in your dreams, though I ironically have never had the experience personally.
The only two persons who have passed over that I knew personally was my grandfather and my dad. I was seeing my grandfather as a full bodied apparition since I was 5, so there was probably no need for him to come to me in my dreams - he caused enough consternation when I was awake! LOL 
I have never had a conscious dream of my dad - who died when I was 4 and ironically is the one person I would love to see!
Yet I often have dreams where someone is beside me - immeditely on my left - I know they are there and they are so close they are like a siamese twin! But I can never see them which is frustrating.
Sometimes I think its a girl - other times I don't know who this person is - but they're not scary - they are like my absolute best friend! They are very full of love and attachment to me.
One dream I recorded was I was walking along a path towards a very bright sunrise/ sunset and this person was there again and I realised they were very tall ( my dad was 6' 4" - just like my son ) and they emitted their own light - they were glowing. It was the best place ever to be! 
I just so loved having this ' person/ being ' walking beside me like that - it was so peaceful - nothing in the world could harm me at that moment.
But I could never look at him and see who it was. I have this dream of the 'someone' beside me alot.
I suspect its a spirit guide of some description.    and I suspect there's more than one. Can you have more than one?

I had a dream of my son just last week.  He was about 5 years old and showed me why he chose to leave in utero.  That is, he showed me what his future was and why he didn't want me to have to face that. 

I woke up from that dream with a real sense of knowing why he left and felt a huge sense of peace afterwards.

It was truly a gift.

I actually had a weird dream last night ; I died and was in spirit. The HOW I'd died was glossed over - I was already a ' ghost ' - I hadn't crossed over.
I was with about 6 others and we were given a baby to ' escort ' to the other side.
We were sent to say our goodbyes to our loved ones one last time.
In the dream I went to my first husband ( the father of my children ) and told him I loved him. ( not something that comes to mind in consciousness i can assure you!  )
And we were gathering together to pass over - but I didn't want to go!
I was still conscious of who I was and all the memories and experiences of this life and I loved my children and didn't want to leave them!
I was aware once I crossed over I could start again but the thought of that really irked me......starting as a baby again oh c'mon! 
I was very attached to who I was and the life I had experienced.
The others left without me.
I went to my mothers house and dwelt there a while and started to comprehend how a residual haunting worked................because now I was one!
Time on the earth plane was so different to the plane I was on - in an instant my daugher ( 15 at the moment ) had grown up died ay 98 and had 5 kids of her own!
I knew they were my grand children but I didn't personally ' know' them and of course when I turned up they had no idea who I was and I scared the life out of them!
So I found myself a little lost.
The idea of ' going to the light ' was permanent - there was no coming back after that. I knew that. I also realised some ' ghosts ' considered it much like some on earth consider death! Some people are scared of death and don't want to die! Some ghosts just don't want to cross over because they're scared. Where we can't choose NOT to die - a spirit has a choice and some don't take it.
In the dream, I hadn't taken the chance to cross over and now I just seemed to be wandering around aimlessly - with no-one I knew and no places I recognised. Thats when I understood why ghosts latch on to what they know or who they know.....because I was stuck in just the same situation!
At my mother's house I met my dogs ( long dead ) and some other spirits and we scared an old lady who was living in the house. Afterall it was MY house - who was she? She had no right being in my mother's house! Then I realised it actually wasn't anymore....time had moved on.
At the end of the dream I just started to consider, it was probably about time I really should cross over......................and I woke up.
What was interesting - was I saw everything from the spirit's perspective.

Wow I cant believe I missed all these great responses!
What an amazing dream Buddicca.

Hi SW,
I missed this thread as well  

There are some great experiences in this thread.

I believe yes we can visit our friends in our dreams or more so astral travel as Kaikai mentioned (I think it was Kaikai)
I also have a very strong connection with an ex. WE just know when the other needs the other person. Time can go by for years and we just phone each other. Also we just know when the other is thinking about each other. I remember one time my friend rang cause he knew I was emotional he traced my parents number then got my number cause I had moved. if one of us is going through something emotional either he would phone me or I would phone him. We are still surprised to this day how strong our connection is. There was never anything strong romantically though. We have been told we were great dancers in medieval period. It was funny how this came about.. we both decided to have a reading done by two separate readers, he went to someone local to him, and I went to someone local to me. We had the readings tapes. Then played them back to each other. The readings about us were so identical by separate readers it was spooky.

I have also been visited in the last week by two passed loved ones. I had a phone call from R I could hear partying going on in the background. As if he was phoning from a club. (He was a manager of a club when I first met him) I asked him who was with him and what it was like on the otherside. He told me everyone was with him (I presume he meant others that we both knew that passed before him) he said the otherside was peaceful, fun and not to worry, then their was a knock at the door so It was C my friend who passed many years ago, with another man who I don't recall knowing.. although he vaguely looked familar. Then R came into the room and told the other man to leave, as I don't need the stress at this time.. and C left aswell.. I recall saying to C I don't think R means you! then I woke up and wrote it down straight away. I felt so happy and was crying happy tears.

So, yes a dream journal is an excellent way to recall your dreams. If you do wake from a dream write it down straight away. Otherwise there are chances you forgetting by the morning.

My mother told me of this particular dream experience and I do wonder if our abilities are genetic sometimes! 
My mum was a nurse in a nursing home during the day, in this dream she found herself in a park.
She said it was in the " highest place in the world " and from this location you could see " everywhere in the world " and the colours and plants and trees were vivid and beautiful.
My mum said there were people wandering, some chatting, some sunbaking on blankets as my mum walked through this scenic park.
Mum started to bump into a few people she knew, she saw loved ones, my dad, her dad, friends from childhood, other friends and acquaintances and it took her a while to realise EVERY person she was meeting was dead!
Until she met a lady she worked with and mum was surprised because she was the exception and she knew her to be very much alive! 
My mum demanded to know what she was doing there.
" Oh I just died " she told my mother.
Mum sort of carried on a general conversation with her for a while, mum said she didn't seem too upset by the fact she had just died and they both treated the subject matter very casually. Even Mum said given how silly it would have sounded in reality, she just accepted it at face value in the dream.
When she got up and went to work - the lady in her dream didn't arrive for her shift that day and now mum was bugged by her dream.
It was revealed the woman had died overnight - just when my mother was having this dream!
On another occasion my mother in the 70's dreamed up the soccer pools results and was absolutely convinced she had had a precognitive dream! She gave them to my step-dad to put a bet on.
The next morning when the newspaper came out with the soccer pools results my mum was beside herself - every result was a 100% correct - she dragged me down the shop to get the afternoon paper because she couldn't believe the morning paper! We were millionaires!
So we whiled away the afternoon spending our millions with great plans in our heads!....................until my step dad came home from work as white as a sheet. He had thought it alot of phooey and hadn't put the bet on!! 
Needless to say he listens to my mother's dreams.....now. 

[Skeleton Woman]

OH No! How disappointing that he did not put the bet on.

LW I think I should start a dream journal again, even if I just write it down in point form.  With kids things get moving too quickly in the morning and I tend to forget.

[Moemoea]

Have you ever felt like you're the only one? Before reading this topic and replies I nearly did!  I was given a dream journal as a teenager and drew 'tags' and "so and so for so and so" on most of the pages.  That was until the night I had a dream about a boy friend. We were kind of close but we were 12 or 13 then, so there was no real relationship more of a friendship.  But I dreamed he was calling out to me and we were at the beach. I knew the beach, but there was no significance in the location. I was sitting on a driftwood log and he was ON the water. We walked halfway to met each other, we walked along the beach for awhile just laughing and talking (never heard what we said, I just observed it) then he beamed a smile and said he had to go. He kept looking at the horizon, the day was just dawning. He shone white and started going towards the horizon floating on the water smiling and waving at me. I ran into my parents room and jumped in bed with my Mum. Dad had just left for work. I told her my dream and she comforted me and explained that he was saying Goodbye. At school that morning, a student monitor came to the classes with a notice to the teachers to inform us that he had passed away early that morning. He was hit by a council truck towing a steam roller. He was riding his bike. He died at dawn.

A week later I purchased my first dream journal and have now 20 years later, almost finished my 11th.

I have also had many other dreams of loved ones come to say goodbye or even hello.  My Mum told me shortly after my friends death that these kind of dreams are special and to embrace them as part of my person, my being, my culture and heritage. I've never shared most of them with others because I tried and was ridiculed and stereotyped. I'm glad I've found a place where like minded people are connected.

Thankyou for sharing that is sad about your friend but the dream you had is amazing.

Hi Moemoea *waves*

Welcome to the forum!

Thank you so much for sharing such a personal experience.  Many dream visitations are often disregarded but they shouldn't be!!!  I've had a few similar experiences.  When my dear friend passed I had a dream about him that was so vivid and so comforting.  I don't know why this is but I tend to have three "Places" that I go to when I make contact with others.  If I'm astral travelling it always starts the same for me.  It's like I'm on central railway station!  This is what it looks like!  People are milling about waiting to meet up.   If  i'm just having a chat with a bunch of people ,it is a white walled house (for want of a better word! It seems much much bigger than a "House" lol.)

When someone has recently died and they want to make contact , i'm in a glass shopping centre (is the only way I can describe it (reminds me of QVB)) When  my friend passed ,myself and his wife were on one side of the glass and he was on the other side.  For a moment he was allowed to enter our side and when he did he gave me a huge hug and I'm still gobsmacked, and saying things like, you're not supposed to be here, this is so wonderful etc....  He says yes it is but I have to go now, know that I love you and you will see me again, a massive grin on his face.   

About six months later I meet him in another dream, this time we're in India and he's showing me around.  He looks visibly younger, shorter hair style, clean shaven.  Yes, visibly 10 years younger than the age at which he died (33).  There was something about an indian lady who was selling the most vibrant crystals of orange, brown and green (still haven't worked that one out lol).  I know I wanted them *giggles*  she was rather abrupt in manner but she pervaded absolute kindness.  Yeah, very strange!! 

I had to say goodbye again and as the first time, he always says, I'll be back later! 

Blessings

Just edited because I wanted to say that although i'm not very clairvoyant, I get flashes here and there but nothing compared to others with the gift of clairvoyance. I receive most of my communication via mind to mind, claircognisance (clear thinking) /clairaudently (Clear hearing) and clairsentiently (Clear feeling).  I do see spirits and just wanted to say that seeing your friend surrounded in a brilliant light is something that I have experienced many times. Never doubt your experiences my friend.  I know that by somehow talking about them, it feels uncomfortable because you can feel the judgement with those that don't share the same view and it can often lead us to questioning the experience we had.  These experiences are Very personal and Very real.  There doesn't seem adequate words to express the whole experience.  It almost feels like you invalidate the experience just by talking about it.  I myself have often not discussed something because of others reactions.  You then gain a sense of who you can discuss these things with.  I believe that it's places like this that will foster a growth of new understanding of who we really are and the gift of love is always there if you open up to it
