The most striking dream I had about my mother after her death was when she opened the covers and asked me to come under with her while she cuddled me to sleep. It wasn’t scary or sad, it was just something she would have done when I was a little girl and had come to her bedside to be settled after a nightmare. But since then, my parents, who’re both now deceased, come to me in my dreams often. It has inspired me to begin researching more about the meaning of these dreams.
According to the Baha’i faith, it’s a blessing to see dead people in your dreams.
In the Jewish faith, dreams have a sort of divine significance, where the dreamer receives an important message from the beyond. And according to psychotherapist Sigmund Freud, dreams are simply our subconscious methods of fulfilling our deepest desires. We miss someone and want to see them again, so we dream of them.
