Grief Dreams and Their Meanings! 💔❤

[@cdelaney3455]

My sweet Kevin went home to Jesus 6/29/22. About 3 months after, I dreamed I got up to get a drink, and my Kevin was standing in the kitchen. I said “You’re here” and went to him and he hugged me and laid his head on mine. He did not speak but I felt him!! Then he was gone and I woke up. God gave me that visit for comfort.✝️❤️

My mom passed almost five years ago and I dream of her very frequently. Most of the time she's just there as she normally would be. Sitting at the table, or being part of a family event. I have heard her speak at times too, and can remember what she said. I am very spiritual and believe it is her way of keeping in regular touch with me, until we meet again, as we were very close and I'm sure she can feel how much I miss her. ❤

My daughter died unexpectedly in 2020 and I have dreamt of her 3 times. I woke up sobbing each time, it’s difficult for me to speak of her because then I would have to face her absence all over again.

After 18 mos ,I am dreaming about him . Environment is changed but it’s always same I get close enough to talk with him and tell him something minor but I never see him face to face . I think it is my unconscious dealing with my conscious. I have difficulty accepting the finality of my loss. The dreams are pleasant and I don’t awake crying . It’s just a reminder I still have grief work to do .

About a couple of weeks after my fiancé died, I had a dream where he walked through the back door holding a bouquet of flowers for me. I actually smelled them. 😢

[@LovinLnCottage]

A lucid dream and also a visitation. A beautiful gift to you. You are blessed by his message that he is still with you and his continuing love for you. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@edwardianspice1]

That’s amazing. That sounds more like a visitation dream. X

I am just over a month away from the first anniversary of my husband's death. He was killed by a drunk driver on his way home. I grieved HARD the first 4-5 months...hard as in I thought about suicide to join him every single day. Then I met someone and it's been slowly becoming more. I wasn't looking for anything, never thought I'd love again. Last week I had a dream that I had just gotten on the phone with my new man and my husband walked into the room. I remember feeling complete shock, telling my new guy I had to go and why. I remember asking my husband how he could be there, where he'd been, who was in the box of ashes if not him. I remember feeling absolute sadness and pain that I would have to give up my new man, that I would always care about him and how changed I was since my husband passed. I was so upset about it the next morning. A friend of mine said she though it was my husband helping me solidify my feelings for my new man, telling me that I am where I'm meant to be, doing what I'm meant to do. It was the most vivid, detailed dream I've had of my husband since he was killed but it upset me so much. I miss him. I miss the me I was with him. But I'm not that woman any more.

About a month after my dad died last July, I had a dream that really felt as though he was visiting me. It was different than my typical dreams - it was very vivid and realistic and he was just sitting at the dining table of my parents house, not quite facing me. There was no "action" in the dream, like my typical dreams have. He did look a bit younger than when he died, and he didn't say anything during the short dream. However, I was basically catching him up about some random things that were going on ("mom's dentist appointment was cancelled" for example) and he was nodding and listening very closely, but not directly looking at me. I could feel how much he cared and his love. I woke up feeling as though he had just visited me and that he loves me very much.

[@PauloNideck]

I love your channel. I lost my loved one so recently (less than 3 months ago) and your videos are a big help and company. THANK YOU.

[@tinawhite4926]

I've had dreams of my family members that have been disturbing upon waking up, until I realized what they were trying to tell me. My mother died in 1984 & a few months later came to me in a dream. She had ALS & was unable to walk or talk at the end of life. In the dream she got out of the casket and walked to me, put her hands on me & said, "I'm okay, don't worry". Then my brother, sister & father died I a 18 month period & each one has visited me in dreams, multiple times. I'm trying to deal with this since I'm the only one living but it's been hard. I was thinking about getting therapy but came across this & am feeling like I can begin to cope much better. Thank you.

[@HeidiCheng-w2z]

My father passed six months ago, for the first three months I had bad dreams. He was in a cold dark lonely situation. Afterwards his dreams are all reassuring, even smiling at me, standing or sitting close to me, or waiting for me. He appears well, never in his wheelchair. But after a couple of weeks without seeing him in dream, I would become unstable again. But my father would never "leave" me too long. I feel lucky to have him as my father. I still need a lot of affirmation from all kinds of way to reassure me that he is still with me. Very often I don't feel him at all. I still cry a lot.

[@trylliumt5441]

I lost my Mother about a month ago. Last week I had a nightmare of someone, that I couldn't see, gently covering my back and shoulders with a blanket. This frightened me and I started running towards my husband, calling his name for help. While running I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder and I continued to run towards my husband. When I reached him I woke up and he was patting me and asking if I was alright as he said I was crying out but couldn't understand what I was saying. I had not had any dreams or visits from Mom since her passing but since that night I have had pleasant dreams of being with a younger, healthy and happy Mom almost nightly. Thanks Jo for your advise and insights for those of us going through this process. ❤

[@D3adinside23]

I had a dream that I was digging holes for trees at my moms house, and then all of a sudden, a bright light was in front of me, and standing in front of me was my little brother. He didn't say anything, and he was too bright to look at him for too long. I know he was visiting me. Straight out of heaven.

[@saejgnjan]

after my dad died, i was filled with guilt for being a mad teenager who shut herself in her room playing games while he battled cancer. months later i had a dream where i watched him on the hospital bed, he passed, and before he did, i apologized to him and told him i loved him + thanked him before he passed. im thankful for the dream although i still feel a lot of emotions a year later.

[@joniwilmoth5826]

Your video came at just the right time. I had a confusing; chaotic, out-of-control dream last night with a visit from my son who died five weeks ago. I was confused, but also comforted, when he told me he had solved his problems on his own without my help. This grief journey is complicated for me, since I also lost my husband nine months ago.

[@mel375]

[@emmawats5467]

Perfect timing for this vid. Thanks. My spouse passed June 16th, three days ago, and I had dreams the first two nights. The second night's dream I could classify as a nightmare and fits perfectly into your "symbolic' dream category ie. unresolved issues and attempting to integrate the grief experience. Obviously the hard work continues and it truly helps to watch your vids. Thanks again.

[@bretasorenson2475]

I am so sorry for your loss. 😢💔

[@hopefulhippie77]

Hi Jo, After watching your video yesterday, about remembering to use our intuition I calmed down a bit. Last night for the first time in almost 6 weeks I dreamt of HOPE🧡 She was Happy & Healthy & I truly believe it was her way of saying "Mama I'm happy" It brought me a lot of comfort🧡 I'm a strong believer in dreams & my intuition. I truly believe they visit us not only in our dreams🙌😢

What if you have dreams all your life of person have meaningful importance in your life.dream 3 days .then you get this perminison something coming? It may not be the person itself but related. I get a call saying someone died that from the person I care for. I had of not had a dream of my son who past.but I had a bad intuition about him the Day before.someting was off, he was not too go on the job that Monday,the day before he was with me and is Father didn't mention the Job,it was a last minute thing. He and I always talked about we're he was working. Also when he Left Sunday he turned around and said momma I love you and gave me that beautiful smile. In that moment I new God was telling me something. I've always wondered why I get these gut feelings.🤔??????.

I stopped dreaming when my daughter died in 2021. I used to be a very vivid dreamer. Now, nothing.

[@lealugerlynch802]

I’ve had several dreams/visits from my dead husband. Most recently was my birthday visit where he engulfed my body in his energy then brought many family members so I could see that they still connected with me and loved me. It brought me much comfort ❤

[@dorotagajda9889]

My daughter passed 4 months ago. When she was 5 I left her with my motherinlaw and went to work for two weeks. After I came back she was very upset with me. In my last dream 2 days ago she came to us as a spirit in human body of her. She was younger like 8 years, happy, she helped me with laundry and jomp on me hugging so tight and telling me: mami don't leave me afain. I think this is telling me I feel guilty of not being for her everytime and i am guilty that I had to get back to my life to take of my 5 other kids. I am afraid of leaving her. I trully think about it, I feel it.

[@jennifershort3104]

My dreams are more tortured. I end up in some kind of chaotic disaster that I could die in. As I become aware of my mother's presence I wake up just in time. My last remembered dream I woke up asking myself "what if all this was a dream?" It tortured me because I wondered how far back would that go? A year? Two years? Seven? Why can't I wake up from it?

[@karenbrown6348]

Mine are nightmares because Mom keeps insisting she's not dead in my dreams and I wake up confused and sad all over again. I miss her terribly 😢

The subconscious what are we supposed to do with theses dreams rehearsing the trama to accept the awful awful heart wrenching reality i don't want to accept any of it. its been 15months since i lost my significant other on 5-10-22. A 6year rollercoaster ride she wasa very special woman to me and many others. Has anyone even seen those movies were people are trapped underwater with only a tiny bit of air at the top. I rarely have dreams with J but last night i did and we were somewhere under water and she didn't come up to breath with me 😢😢😢 she didn't come up😢😢😢😢😢😢😢and i just completely broke again like i really miss her. I will probably be die of heartache living with the knowledge that shes not coming it just hurts to much.

I’d like to share this experience. I’m grieving the recent loss of a beloved pet, my cat,Lucifer. We had an incredible connection and I had to have him euthanised as he was in the latter stages of feline AIDS. Today I went for my run and I was playing some joyful music on my iPad. I suddenly got this image in my head, from nowhere, of Lucifer dancing, on his hind legs, weird I know. But I let the sequence play on, as I was not guiding it at all, but allowing it to play out. He was with me for my entire run, twirling and dancing and waving his front paws from side to side. It was so amazing I cried with joy, and I feel different now, not sure yet in what way, but lighter somehow. It really was incredible. I do believe the universe sends signs, that your lost ones, whether human or animal, send signs if you are open to receiving them. I was privileged to be Lucifers cat guardian, and seeing him dancing like that, and so happy, was truly a gift, as was the eight years I had with him.

[@dredwardchisnall1017]

I have had a good two weeks mainly positive, now for the past four days I have been in the deeps of hell of grief again. I have been very troubled by dreams of auto realistic appearance, one in which I thought she was alive, that I was awake and had to phone the doctor. I could not believe she was still alive. I was astounded. I actually hung a string if rosary beads few days ago around her neck It became very complicated. Last night I was with God. I have always had lucid dreams. I am an artist. But this is really all becoming more than grief but a mental illness. I am in despair. As always your gentle voice offers me hope, Jo. Thank you. Edward Chisnall.

I've had many dreams of my deceased spouse in 26 months since he passed. They are very comfortiing even though I mostly feel like I have no control over what's happening in the dream and when I reflect on them, i always cry having received his reassurance of love. A recent dream was in answer to questions about what he's doing on the other side and what's it like? And even though I know he is well, I'm still curious. He is in a very beautiful place with a green garden, 2 very healthy, beautiful trees, a solid white stone house and frontage. It's hard to describe bc It's an unusual depth of brilliance in color and light. I later got messages that he is "preparing a place for us" and he is acting on our behalf. He is doing the same kind of work he did here, but mostly honoring others. Other people in the dream looked familiar, though I didn't recognize who they were. It also revealed someone who was a "guide", who "drove" me back home (earth). In the dream, I was confused and amazed by the surroundings bc I wasn't aware that I was "visiting" him. I asked him questions about what was going on and he just "intuited" me to not to worry about it. Myself, being left behind, I can't feel help but sometimes feeling vulnerable and helpless without him. Still, I know he is with me, in spirit.

[@emilypotato9495]

Doug,my husband who died a little over 2 months ago, appeared in my dream last night. He was younger with black hair like when we were first married. He didn’t look like himself completely and I didn’t realize it was him until after I woke up. I think I was protecting myself from the shock of recognizing him. But in the dream he hugged me like he used to and it brought me so much comfort that I now I believe it must have been him.

[@magdalenabendova1]

I have both types of dreams about my Mum, although her visitations are less frequent than those in which I process her death. She died of lung cancer, after several months of denial (which I was happy to share… because I wanted to believe she’d be OK) and her passing was finally too quick for me to get ready to. But I know for sure she visited me several times, every time at a significant moment for me. And in the meantime, I try not only to process the trauma, but also regrets an guilt related to things that had happened long before her death. It’s been almost two years and even though I know we’ve had far more good things happening to both of us, they are still overshadowed by the few conflicts we had, I wonder when this will go away.

[@angelatollstrup2552]

So I'm a lesbian in the house with my wife for 20 years I'm falling you left her and she took the triplets I don't get to see him know I'm grieving for almost 2 yrs when this happened. I'm in my room thinking of past . The next I know my wife is sitting on. My bed on the far corner and I'm talking telling her bout my day and I say something funny we both laugh and I reach over touch her arm and all of sudden she not there' I started. To cry cause I thought it was real then it hits me I'm alone in this room. And I'm living with my sponsor I lean back where I was sitting as soon as I do it my wife reappears and she gabbing an I think shit I'm awake she is in my bed and if I answer her back knowing it's in my head the ppl of the house will hear me talking to myself think I probable lost it but I went ahead and engage I trusted no one an I talked with her for. Few hours an everytime I reached for her she disappeared . My wife isn't dead and she live over 4 hr away idk why or how she was image tht seemed. Real an talking but in those moments I felt no pain. Or betrayed like she never left me another I knew it was fake in my head but the feelings real so I went with cause I didn't hurt not sure how this happened or possible cause I slept every night not on drugs not sure the message here I was suppose to hear or feel and it never happened again. Messes with me she look so real answered my questions and even told me bout her day but the ppl only heard me still haven't got a clue why I seen her let alone awake I missed the measage

[@angelatollstrup2552]

So my mother passed and I've been grieving hard for like a year crying everyday before I would go to work I would go hide in a bush and show up early took my shirt in my mouth and I figure if I had a really good hard cry breakdown at work and that I would just try a little

[@jennifershort3104]

My dream involved flooding. I came home and my mother was there. I don't remember seeing her but I felt her presence and heard her voice. I was concerned about possible flooding because it was raining so hard. The next morning I went outside and it had flooded. The water was high, but the rain stopped before it entered the house. I was able to step outside my house to assess the situation. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. I think my dream was preparing me to surrender to moving forward so that I can begin to build my life by figuring out what I want to be a part of my future. I need to have some kind of resolution of how I feel about all the changes ahead of me so I can move in the right direction.
