Deceased

Dreams of the deceased are common and should not be considered signs of paranormal activity or of supernatural contact. Visitations by the deceased who are "alive again" in the dream often reflect a desire for contact with them, and for emotional resolution. Inability to speak with or touch the deceased may reflect frustration due to the deceased's departure; we no longer are able to communicate. A deceased grandparent in a dream may also represent a wisdom figure, as in what would they do or recommend regarding a pressing situation or issue in your waking life.

The dead typically appear fit and healthy in our dreams, and younger than their age at the time of their passing. They often reassure dreamers that they are OK, explain particularities of their death, and occasionally give advice. Many people believe the dead actually communicate with the living in dreams, and are able to experience emotional closure, especially with someone who died suddenly. Many dream reports, if accurate, leave no option but to believe that contact was made.
