Losing a loved one is one of the most painful and depressing experiences in the world, for anyone. The pain you feel is enormous, the emptiness that person leaves you cannot be regenerated and you miss them in such a way that you want to have them close again. However, this does not happen, at least not as we expect.
Dreams, although they are considered a reflection of the dreamer’s mental, emotional and physical state, would contain something else: for some scholars it may be a connection with the Beyond, a world by definition inaccessible to our consciousness. Since ancient times it was believed that dreams in which deceased people appeared were a fact that should not be ignored, since sometimes the spirits of deceased loved ones would visit us in our dreams to give us a message, advice or a warning.
Did you know that the people you loved visit you after they die?
There is a phenomenon called “Dream of Visitors”, it turns out that this phenomenon happens when a person is asleep and feels a visit while sleeping, that means that a loved one who is already dead is visiting you. There is no need to fear, since it is a visit of strangeness and it will not do you any harm, in fact, many people have confirmed that it is a blessing to feel such a visit.
The Spanish psychologist Joaquín Cámara, who has investigated the subject of life after death for years, explains that when someone dies -or disincarnates- and passes to the spiritual world or to the afterlife, they can try to communicate with their loved ones who continue alive on the physical plane in different ways. “One of the most frequent ways is to try to establish communication when the person falls asleep.
Every night, when we go to sleep, there comes a time when our astral body leaves the physical body and travels through its plane, the astral, while the physical body stays in bed lying down. Usually, we do not remember these trips that we make every night, since in the astral plane we are also half asleep, semi-unaware of what happens around us there. Now let’s remember that the astral plane is the same one we go to after dying, so that place is full of disembodied beings, as well as inhabitants of the astral. In this way, if we have lost a loved one, it is very possible that he is on that plane and takes advantage of the fact that we are there during the dream to be able to communicate with us, so this becomes a very simple means of communication for both of us. ”.
Cámara adds that this phenomenon is more common than you think, so he advises that in no case should you be afraid of this type of experience. “The factor that allows communication with the deceased in a dream state is constituted by love and feelings towards loved ones, whose affective bond does not disappear with death.”
According to the psychologist, communication with spirits is very different from any other dream, as this type of dream is more vivid and clear. The message of the dream, meanwhile, is usually concise (the dreamer could have a long conversation with that spiritual being or simply “hear” a warning) and sometimes there may be a feeling of cold around us. Another important detail is that the dreamer will easily remember the entire experience, unlike a normal dream where the details are hazy and when he wakes up he will feel as if he simply opened his eyes and in no case will he feel tired. In addition, generally no other characters appear in the dream, only the dreamer and his deceased loved one.
Regarding the reason why the spirit of a deceased loved one can visit us in our dreams, the main reasons are the following:
– Seek forgiveness: The spirit asks us to forgive him for something he did in his life on earth or that we ask him for forgiveness for something we did. The purpose of this is to end resentment and guilt complexes, in order to achieve understanding and balance, and end abusive or destructive behaviors that conspire with our personal growth.
– Health warnings or imminent danger: Specialists believe that once they are free of their physical bodies, our departed loved ones can become extremely useful and reliable psychic advisors, seeing through space and time quite easily and being especially sensitive to problems of mind. health that may affect us. The deceased, too, can turn to us to warn us of potential and immediate danger.
– Prepare for our own death: Our loved ones can visit us in our dreams to warn us that we are soon going to leave this earthly and physical world and to advise us that death is not something terrible, but just a higher state, a passage to another dimension.
– To look for help: Another reason why these spirits appear in dreams is that they need our help or guidance because they are lost or “stuck” on their journey to the Afterlife. Dead relatives will generally attempt to contact (or appear in dreams) the family member they think is most likely to do something for them. Specialists say that in this case we must listen to our loved one’s message and respond quickly to his request, which could be as simple as granting a pardon or simply listening to his words. After this process, the spirit of our deceased loved one will be able to calmly pass “to the other side”.
According to some scholars, people who have had a premature or violent death appear more likely in dreams, contrary to people who have had normal deaths such as those that occur after suffering a prolonged illness. This is because the person who has died of natural causes is mentally more prepared for death and therefore finds it easier to move on in the afterlife.
