Dreams of People Past On

I lost my best friend a year or so ago in a car crash. Since she’s been gone from this earth I have only dreamed of her in passing moments that are not significant.

I’ve dreamt of her and I at a party and we both see one another from across a room and we smiled at each other and continued socializing. In my dream she looked at me and smiled and she had the sun behind her. We didn’t speak.

This is typically as close as we get in dreams. We were best friends and I loved her beyond measure and I’m very sad we haven’t had any conversations in my dreams, I miss her but I hope she’s happily settled on the other side. ♥️

This is sweet. Sorry for your loss.

That is beyond sad….so sorry for your loss 💙

“In my dream she looked at me and smiled and she had the sun behind her. We didn’t speak”

This feels like she is your guardian and appears in your dreams to say hello and that she’s watching over you 🙏

Something I found regarding that matter is that when you dream of that person it means they're looking after you or trying to tell you they are ok where they are, or trying to help you with some issue you might be having in your life. Talking to them means resolving things between you and them that might have been left unsaid. I had a dream about my cousin last year, who passed away over a decade. I always felt sorry that we distanced in last few years and that I didn't get to see her before she died. In that dream we literally talked about that and she said something like she understands and she's sorry too, that she doesn't resent me and that she wished to see me too. We had a wonderful conversation as if she was alive and since then I was finally able to accept that things are the way they are and that it's nobody's faul that we went distant. So according to some interpretations your friend is just showing up in your dreams to show you she's there cause she knows you miss her.

You see, your story is heartfelt and you have contact. Your restlessness is at ease because you had those moments.

What I’m talking about is, we never had any substantial contact in my dreams. It’s always something social, no direct talking. It’s like she’s there but not really there, just in passing.

This is sweet. Sorry for your loss.

I lost a best friend but her kids lost a mom, her family lost a sister and child.

Even tho she was my soul sister, my pain is never as great as the pain her family feel. It literally feels like I lost a wife tho 😂…like a life partner.

I finally talked about her in therapy yesterday and we had to work up to talking about her. It took time for me to actually allow myself to break down about her. He gave me some books to read and we’re going to discuss this further.

How long were you besties? Since childhood?

Yes! We’ve been friends since we were really young. She was actually friends with my sister. My sisters entire crew became my closest friends and they were all very close with me from that point, even tho my sister hated it.

We’ve gone through every stage of life together. So many memories and vacations and crazy shit I can’t share.

Even when people die in real life I do believe they're still connected subconsciously,

Are you still in touch with her family and kids? Were you close? Maybe by talking to them you'll get to reconnect with her again in your dreams?

I’m still in touch with her family and kids. We’re close but obviously everyone still grieving her loss so things are not as they once were.

She was a beautiful and powerful person. Best Leo, biggest personality and such a shining star of a person. Truly the life of her family and friends.

I hope I connect with her more but I’m starting to feel at peace that she’s going past this time on earth and she’s onto a better place in heaven. Lord knows we miss her tho. I can’t wait until we meet again in the next life.

You’re out there making pasta for their mamas 🤌🏼🥲!

You’re so funny. Just when I think I know you as a heartless Filipina playa…you dress your dog in designer and make pasta for childhood friends moms.

Are you sure you could cope with a closer encounter? Maybe it would be too painful

Probably not tbh. It’s taken me a year to talk about her in therapy. I can’t actually look at her pictures.

I cried every night after my son went to sleep for maybe 9+ months, then I wasn’t reminded daily and it became less but on average maybe once a week now. Whenever I feel stress, any kind of anxiety I imagine I can call her and I lay in bed and take a few moments to mentally decompress.

Seeing her would be painful but I’m in therapy and I’m trying to grieve.

To have had the experience of a friend like that is a gift🙂

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s really hard to reestablish your connection after they’ve passed on. But dreams are one of those I think! I used to be tormented by reoccurring dreams of loved ones until it was pointed out to me that they were visiting me! Reminding me that they were still with me. Once that clicked in my mind, I rarely dream of them anymore. Of course I smoke weed every day, so I don’t remember my dreams much these days. But I would just be grateful you got to spend time with them in a shared space.

Your dream is beyond beautiful. I love having dreams in this way. There is a deep sense to me these dreams are an easy way for our loved ones to make contact. When we move our ego so that we can "see", so that we can listen, because we are then open and then they come.

Your friend will always be by your side ~

But You already know this ~

My condolences go to you 🙏
