Dreams of Deceased Family.

A few years ago, my grandpa died. I was very close to him, he was basically a second father figure to me growing up. Anyway I had a very vivid dream shortly after he died (the most vivid dream I’ve ever had) where he was sitting with my dad (his son) on the couch, and they were just muttering to eachother and the only words I caught were my grandpa saying “I’m okay.” Then he just turned and looked at me very clearly and said “I’m okay.” Then the dream just ended.

**

I had a dream about my Nana maybe a year ago and woke up to the feeling of someone kissing my cheek, but no one was there when I opened my eyes.

**

When my grandpa was dying I remember sort of calling out to my Nana, and asking if he would make it, and I didn’t hear a “voice” or anything, but something just felt like a no…so I just stopped crying and understood…so I just asked if she would be there on the other side waiting for him, if she would make sure he was okay, and she said yes.

**

A few days ago I went through a really horrible day, and felt absolutely hopeless the next day. I was riding in my boyfriend’s truck, and said “Things would be so much easier if my grandpa was still here.” And we pulled up to a subway, and I usually stay in the vehicle especially this time since I felt horrible, but then I just got out, and went in with him. As soon as I got in there a song started to play that always played at night when I would stay the night at my grandpa’s house as a kid.

I’m not sure what my real question is here…just what do you guys think? Part of me wonders if my grandpa is my guardian angel…my Nana too maybe, but she died when I was very young about 6, but my parents say she loved me more than anything. Just some stuff that’s been on my mind lately…if anyone knows anything about guardian angels or whatever please give me your opinion.

I was never able to properly say goodbye to my dad when he died.

I had a dream shortly after he passed and it was insanely vivid and real. My family was out and I saw him at the mall we were at and I just remember being so happy to see him there because the implication was that he hadn't died, but had just gone away and I was seeing him as he was leaving. I ran over and hugged him and I could hear him chuckling in my ear in amusement that I'd missed him (he was always convinced we wouldn't miss him when he was gone).

I woke up right after that. It was basically my closure of saying goodbye to him.

The next time I had a dream that vivid with him in it was 14 years later, the night before my mom's health took a turn for the worse. He was trying to tell me what was up.



I'm sure there are a lot of schools of thought on this type of thing whether dreams are premonitions or that our deceased loved ones can talk to us, or that it's just a strong conscious thought trying to fill in the gaps of things we miss/want to see in our waking lives.

But I've had dreams about family members and I've had dreams like those. They are entirely different and nowhere near the same. You can feel presence, you hear them vividly communicating with you, etc.

I completely agree on the last part. I had one I didn't mention where I saw my grandpa in his house standing at the door, but when I ran to him he was gone and the house was empty. I just have these moments that I just know he's there trying to comfort me from things, and I don't know if it's because in the back of my mind I constantly think my life would be so much easier with him here or what. I wish I just knew more about this topic because even my mom was visited by her grandpa in a dream where they talked and it was vivid.

Google is your friend, m'dear.

They come to us in dreams to say hello

I dream bout my family very often.....especially Dad (who is my main spirit guide)



I find it very comforting

I have something similar happening. Not so much closure in my case. Its ongoing--not bad, just as you describe.

Not sure if its just the subconscious talking or something more.

Have dreams about my grandma who died almost two years ago. She always looks pretty and younger than she was when she passed.

My mom misses her like crazy and one time shortly after she died, my mom woke up from a really vivid dream about her. I think she said the dream was her saving my grandma from the hospital and everything turning out alright. My mom said a few minutes later she went downstairs in the morning and her slippers that she had left on the floor the night before were set neatly in the corner of the couch, right where my grandma had had her initial stroke. So crazy. I was laying there watching tv the night before and I was the last person to go up to bed and they 100% weren't there.

We still can't figure it out. Still gives me goosebumps when I think about it.

This isn't really related to what you said, but reading it made me think about how after my grandpa died I realized everytime I cried or thought of him I could hear birds chirping, and last year my childhood dog died and after we buried him I came up the steps, and this butterfly flew around me and my mom, sat on the porch where he use to lay all the time, and finally flew over to the living room window where my dad was...just strange. I never thought much about reincarnation or anything, and I still don't know how to feel about it, but we recently got a kitten and it was a lighthearted joke at first that she acted like our dog that had passed, but sometimes I wonder...she acts just like him, and she constantly follows me like he did, watches me all the time, rubs all over me, and I don''t know if she's him in a way...but in some way I feel a part of his soul is in her just a smaller size...
