Some people commonly remember their dreams, while others swear they never dream or cannot recollect them.

 

But do dreams hold any significance? when many people believe that dreams contain messages from unseen entities that we cannot experience when awake, some scientists argue that they are just the consequence of neurological processes in our brains.

 

Even when we sleep, our brains are extremely busy. Dreams might reflect our daily experiences or disclose our concerns. But what does it mean to dream about someone who has died away?

 

 

 

 

These dreams could be related to the grieving process or to a life shift. According to Healthline, it is more commonly the latter.

 

Such dreams are prevalent at times of transition, such as beginning a new job, moving to a new location, or meeting new people.

 

More significant than the dream itself is the emotion it evokes in us.

 

Rubin Naiman, a Ph.D.-level psychologist who has extensively researched sleep, notes, “Dream interpretation entails understanding the dream. It provides psychological insights and broadens our consciousness.

 

So, dreaming about someone who has died could be tied to the changes in our lives and how they affect us.

 

 

 

 

“Many contemporary neuroscientists believe that during REM sleep, the brain is performing maintenance tasks and may unintentionally generate visual images, making dreams appear meaningless,” according to Naiman. “On the other hand, some people believe that dreaming is more meaningful than waking life. This viewpoint is common among ‘dream cultures,’ such as the indigenous people of Australia, who regard dreaming as essential to our spiritual existence.”

 

Experts divide these dreams into four categories.

 

First, dreaming about a departed person may be the brain’s way of processing grief and pain. If we have unresolved issues with the departed, such as guilt, this could explain why we see them in nightmares. Dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg argues that we may dream of a deceased person if we recognize their characteristics, such as substance misuse, in ourselves. Some specialists feel that these dreams are a visitation from the deceased, particularly if they appear well-dressed or joyful. A nice emotion from the dream may indicate that the deceased person is saying “Hello.”

 

 

 

 

Regardless of our opinions regarding dreams, they do provide significant and valuable insights. Dreams can reveal insight into our spirit and our relationship with individuals who have passed away.
