I used to dream a lot that my mother wasn’t gone thay she just up and left us one day. I think bc it was so sudden and unexpected, and I was only 17. I have not dreamed that dream in a very long time. My newest is running into her and my oldest sister in the store but both of them knowing that they aren’t supposed to be there it’s very bittersweet, but in my dream I at least get to hug her. It’s been a long 27 years!
Yes.I’ve often dreamt of my late Father who passed away 8 years ago, my brother (4 years) and even my late grandparents who passed away in the late 1990s. They’ve all been good dreams.
I’ve had a few within the first six months of his passing. It’s been 6 years now and haven’t had one in awhile. They were visits tho with messages early on!
I swear my mom visits me in my dreams. It’s only when I need her. I will tell you about two.
One was just this week. This has been a hard week. One of my nieces her husband went to jail for 18 months. They have two kids. I babysat both until they started school. My mom was in the room when she was born. It’s been a bad week. Mom came to remind me that women in our family are made of steel. And of something she used to always say. She used to say” if they are talking about me, they are leaving some other poor soul alone”. I told my niece both of those things after I dreamt of my mom. She cried and laughed said it made her feel better. Our family is 80% women. We just don’t give birth to men. It’s weird. But they are strong, opinionated and sometimes head and heart strong.
The other time …I was pregnant with my 3rd child …my other kids were 20 months and just 3. I had a dream I was sitting at the kitchen table talking to my mom. She told me I worry too much. I do. I could smell the coffee she was drinking. She was a huge coffee drinker but we didn’t even own a coffee pot. She told me everything was going to be ok. To relax. To focus on my kids. Then she stopped and looked up and said, “you have to go, baby girl needs you”. I looked at her…and then I heard crying. My 20 month woke up crying. When I looked up at the table she was gone. I woke up and comforted my daughter but I cried a long time. I missed my mom so much and she was so real there. I could smell the coffee.
I truly believe she comes when I need her to comfort me. To help.
My dad passed from Covid in 2021. He came to my dreams a lot when he first left us…. A few weeks ago on 4/1 when we buried him, I had a dream of him with me at Disneyland. I hugged him and asked where he had gone. I could feel his beard against my cheek.
My mom died 2 years ago. I dream about her all the time still. And everytime she was dead and came back to life, I never dream that she never died or she’s dead and comes to see me. She was always dead and comes back one way or another
I told my parents unless they want me to have a Kanye level meltdown they have to stick around until I’m 80.
I do still dream about my grandfather though. We would always hang out together when I was young. I would ride my bike to his house every day just to sit on the couch and watch TV.
It’s been 22 years since he passed. In my dreams I’m still a kid and he tells me how proud he is of me.
My dad died in 2021 and I’m caring for my elderly mother. I keep having dreams where I’m in my dad’s space (not his house but clearly his style). He isn’t there but I’m showing mom around.
I won’t say good or bad once in awhile I will have a dream like a normal day like my dad never passed and then I wake up and remember he is gone. They don’t happen as frequently but from time to time they crop up
Yes, but very rarely. My mom (dead 23 years), dad (dead 1.5 years), and sister (dead 10 years), all show up once in a while, but they never talk. I would call the dreams neither good nor bad, but I guess a bit bittersweet. They usually wake me up, though.
I literally just had one last night. Usually, they are mundane, like I bought a new car, and I took it to show my dad.
The only bad dream I had was as a kid after my mom died when I was 5. I still remember this dream clearly after 40 years.
So, my mom was brought back to life as a robot. But she was a clumsy robot. So she kept falling over. And somehow, I knew if she fell over a certain amount of times, she was going to die again. So, in my dream, I’m trying to stop her from falling. But no matter what I do, she keeps falling. I woke up before she died in my dream. But it really messed with me for a while.
My dad died when I was 3 and I’ve had several dreams about him over the years. I think its really him just checking in on me from time to time. The dreams always feel like we’re catching up or we’re having an important conversation that I can’t remember when I wake up.
From time to time I dream of my father who died in 2019.
It’s always about being at his summer home, loading or unloading his pickup. Getting ready to leave or getting there. Typical things that we did when he was alive.
My stepmother is often there, our dogs, my wife and other friends as well. It’s never a perfectly realistic representation but the idea is.
I don’t miss him, didn’t cry or even got sad when he died. I expected it for a few years when his health rapidly declined.
I see my dad sometimes in my dreams. Usually he’s chilling and waiting for me to talk to him. I told him I was sorry but he was dead and I fulfilled all his wishes in his will. He was like, “You know, thanks” and “the problem is you’re dead too”
Other times he’s just listening and he says things that affirm my opinion or strengthen my feelings. I can’t see his face though. It’s a mix of pictures and memories over 4 decades. It’s usually just blurry. His clothes and the sawdust smell make me recognize him.
Both my parents are deceased. Dad died when I was 9, mum when I was 34. I dream about mum regularly which is not fun (we were NC when she died). I never dream about my dad. I wish I did, though. I miss him
Ever since my dad died I had lots of dreams about him. I even had a dream the night he got worse and was sent to the hospital. It’s never a bad dream when I see him. When he was newly gone, I would dream about how I’m so desperate to talk to him, hold his hand, go with him. It’s always about wanting to talk to him either because it’s a rare opportunity or there’s a time limit then he’d be gone again for a long time. Something like that. Now when I dream about him it’s just normal stuff like me being a child again. I’m so glad when I see him in my dreams. I miss him so much. He died oct 2023 from lung cancer.
Yes. But less now that her passing is in the double digits, year wise.
In the beginning I had a horrific dream about her calling me on the phone, me answering, but she couldn’t hear me. Just me shouting over the phone and her not responding. I was heartbroken when I woke up.
Another terrible dream was when we were moving house (actually, IRL). I dreamt that she couldn’t find me, because she was ringing the door bell at the old house, and that she lost us. Also not fun to dream.
Since then, only occasionally. I have been in therapy to manage my grief. That helped somewhat, but I am still conflicted about her memory (long story).
Yes, my dad died 2 years ago. I was never close to him, we never lived together and i would only see him once every few years by coincidence. We didnt hold a funeral for him because he didnt have insuranxe and no one wanted to pay for it or claim his body. The other day i had a dream he was far away and returned home and everyone was happy he was actually alive but i realized in my dream this would never happen because we didnt care about him like that. It made me wish he was better dad and was actually in my life more.
My dad died several years before my first nephew was born, and I dreamed the most vivid dream that my dad and I took my nephew to the movies. In the dream we were both aware that he was gone but was there to meet his new namesake and it was so real and sweet.

Nope, but I always wish I do. At least I’d get to see my mom even if it’s just a dream.
Nope.
Honestly, it’s all good dreams.
In the main one, she communicated (in a sweet way) “My work is done here, I will see you later.”
I miss her but I didn’t suffer from grief.
I haven’t dreamed about my dad, and I wish I could. It’s been six months since he passed, and I miss him so much.

Not anymore. But then, my dad has been dead over 30 years at this point.

Yes. Not as often as I like

Yeah. My dad’s been dead for 16 years and he’s still an asshole.
Seeing my Father in a dream makes my heart soar.
No , I really don’t dream at all anymore. I wonder why that is.
My dad passed from Covid in 2021. He came to my dreams a lot when he first left us…. A few weeks ago on 4/1 when we buried him, I had a dream of him with me at Disneyland. I hugged him and asked where he had gone. I could feel his beard against my cheek.
Damnit I still cry and I just did my makeup!
Not sure if mine are alive. And no. Never.

Yes, I sometimes dream about my parents. It’s like having a nice visit.

No. I wish i could dream about my mum, but I never have. My sister too.
I like cats
I won’t say good or bad once in awhile I will have a dream like a normal day like my dad never passed and then I wake up and remember he is gone. They don’t happen as frequently but from time to time they crop up
I never dreamed about my dad until he passed away! Now it’s like I get a little visits from him

My husband was raised by his grandma and he dreams of her a lot.
Yes, just a few days ago.

All the time. I love it because I get to see and hear my father again 💚
My dad died when I was seven. All through my teen years I had dreams about randomly seeing him in public. I don’t think I ever spoke with him though.
Yes. I’m usually observing him from a distance, just looking at what he’s doing. Never had one interracting with him.
Yes ,good dreams.
I have two deceased parents. I dream about my mother often, as if she is still alive.
Very seldom,
Yes

Lost both of mine in 2012. I very occasionally have dreams of them but it’s usually theyre just there. Not like they’re trying to speak to me.
No, but I think about them, my mother more than my father for some reason, quite often.

Yes, like twice in 14 years

No. Great memories though. Long memories.
No dreams, but I think about them a lot.
