Deceased Loved One

What it can mean

Dreams of loved ones who have passed are often deeply comforting — a way of processing grief, keeping a bond alive or receiving reassurance. They tend to appear around anniversaries or times of change. Many traditions see them as visits; psychologically, they reflect a love that continues.
