Dreams in which deceased relatives or friends appear are not uncommon. In these dreams, our deceased loved ones may provide valuable clues or messages that may have meaning in our waking lives.
Pleasant dream about the deceased
When we experience positive emotions upon seeing a deceased relative in a dream, it is believed to signify his presence and guidance in our lives. Instead of dwelling on longing for them, it is recommended to offer prayers on their behalf, recognizing them as our spiritual guardians.
Unfinished business of the dead
Sometimes the soul of a deceased person may be restless in the afterlife due to unfinished business on earth. It is important to reflect on the unfinished business that may be causing their dissatisfaction and try to resolve or complete these issues on their behalf.
Request from the deceased
If a loved one died recently, material requests in a dream may indicate his desire for physical offerings, for example, taking something to the grave. However, if a year or more has passed since death, his soul may be stuck in parallel worlds. In such cases, it is useful to seek help from a priest or spiritual director.
Conveying information or providing instructions
Dreams in which deceased relatives try to convey information or give instructions to us should be appreciated and remembered. Such dreams may contain hints or insight into upcoming changes or events, and it is important to decipher these messages with the support of our family and loved ones.
