Anyone See Loved Ones in their Dreams?!

[Callender Girl]

My mother had cancer and was sick for a very long time, lots of trips in and out of hospitals. I don't see her as much in my dreams anymore, but she shot herself to death in 1987, and I worried for years about what happened to her after that. Some religions damn those who take their own lives.

Then, one night, I had a dream where she was in her mom's house, the only one I remember Grandma living in, as she died when I was a child. In the dream, I was surprised to see Mom there, and I asked her how she was. She said things were getting better. I have rarely dreamed of her since then, and when I do, the dream isn't really about her; she's just in it.

Mom always told us she would try to contact us after she died. I know the dream made me feel better, even if it was all of my own making.

I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but I thought I'd share anyway.
Sometimes, in my dreams, I can see things that will happen in the future. I know that sounds totally weird, but it has happened a few times.
The craziest "vision" I had, was when I was about 11. I dreamed that my grandmother died. I saw her whole funeral, including people I had never see before in my life. What I thought was weird at the time, was that my father, mother, brother and I weren't at the funeral.
A few months later, my grandmother got sick with cancer. I told my mom about the dream I'd had, and she asked me what the people at the funeral looked like. Turns out, I had dreamed about family members that I'd never met.
A month later, my grandmother died. We had a funeral, of course, and the family members that I'd seen in my dream all went to the funeral. The weirdest thing though, is that my father, mother, brother, and I didn't go to the funeral. My father didn't want to remember his mom that way, so we went to her favorite place by the coast and honored her there.
I had seen everything that happened, in my dream, before we even knew my grandmother was sick. It honestly still kind of freaks me out to this day.

Wow.
Things like that DO happen.
I'm not religious, but I do believe in the supernatural.

Despite being a Jesus freak (and super fallible at that).. I'm NOT religious either and can't stand the brain washing that goes on.

Of course I spent my whole childhood thinking ghost aren't real. Now I know that energy, spiritual energy, supernatural energy.. these are things I was afraid of.. but are very real despite my limited ability to perceive them most of the time. And also probably not anything like the monsters Hollywood or our parents or peers may have built up in our minds.. uh, maybe worse.. It seems though as many stories no matter how fictitious they seem may have some root in truth?? Seriously Hollywood cannot come up with ANYTHING that's more out of this world than stuff in our oceans!

So I would call myself a skeptic towards things like mediums or the like while recognizing that some people really do have these gifts that are unexplained and amazing. Even the Bible talks about seers! Just a definition for seer following, not a biblical link.

In NASA they even have think that they sense what they are calling dark energy and dark matter.. which they cannot perceive of itself but only by the effects on the things around them like bending of light when it should not.

That's a perfect share actually, thank you!

I have had dreams that end up becoming deja vu and then I feel very nervous and try to figure what's gonna happen next like I'm responsible in some way if something goes awry that I could have prevented. So far I never know what's gonna happen next and it has yet to be of any serious consequence either. I understand that is different than what you describe and now that I say it I honestly don't remember dreaming it at all just the deja vu itself.. the memory is incredibly feeble and easily manipulated!

At 11 that must have been challenging to know what to do with. Did that dream feel any different at the time? Anyway to discern these for lack of a better word.. prophetic type dreams from an average one that you're having?

I think this IS the WEIRD zone. I mean dreams are. So weird welcome and considered individual art! (within BYC guidelines of course)

Well, like I said, I've had a few of these "visions" in my dreams. The first one happened when I was 6 years old, so, when I had the dream about my grandmother, I kind of knew that the dream was different than any average dream. The "prophetic" dreams always have a lot of detail. They also always have people or things in them that I've never seen or met before, so there's no way that I could dream about them in such detail.
