Dreaming of a dead relative? 

Visitation dreams are highly common after the passing of a loved one.

In fact, many people have been visited by friends, family, and acquaintances in the form of a dream. 

Dreams of deceased loved ones, including dreams of transitioned pets and friends, are common.

When it comes to dreams of the deceased, it's possible to experience dream visitations from more than just our physical family. We can also experience visitations from members of our soul family. 

This happens so often that I consider dreams the number one visitation method used by the deceased. 

In fact, The Spiritual Research Center states up to 70% of dreams of the deceased are spiritual in nature. 

So if you're dreaming of a dead relative, you aren't alone.

Receiving vivid dreams can be one of the first signs of clairvoyance abilities.

In vivid dreams, Spirits are not the only thing you can see, though some lucid dreams are actually visitation dreams. 

Visitation dreams are typically the types of dreams you have when you see a deceased loved one in a dream state.

Below we're going to talk about why and what messages an ancestor, friend or relative who has now moved to Spirit, maybe having for visiting you in dreams - 

3 Reasons Why Deceased Friends Or Family Are Visiting You In Dreams

1. They have a message for you

They likely have a message for you or for someone that you love. 

You can read into the message in dreams easily, typically by looking into the symbolism and metaphors in the dream they're in. 

Visitation dreams are also common when physical world messages have gone ignored or when words can't get through, such as when you're still grieving. 

A person will tend to get more signs from the Spirit World, as they become more spiritually connected.

When spending more time working on projects that feed your soul, The Spirit World may start paying more attention to you.

Through an enhanced connection to creation, the Spirit World may attempt to communicate with you more than others in your family. 

They will usually attempt communication to the person(s) in the family connected to universal wisdom and truth, this is typically the lightworker of the group.

2. They’ve come to realizations

In their life review or once they transcend, all Spirits tend to see more than they saw on earth about: 

• How they behaved

• What happened while they were on earth

• What they wish they could have said or done while alive

They may want to bring through these realizations to heal the family, possibly through you and what you do with the messages. 

3. They want to talk about someone else

Sometimes friends and relatives who transcend come to dreams of light workers to get messages to siblings, family members or friends. 

These dreams involved the deceased speaking about another person or member of the family.

If you dream of a deceased person, you didn't know very well, this is most likely what is going on. They want you to get the attention of the person who is not paying attention.

When this happens you can ask for an opportunity to deliver the message.

In readings, the deceased will often have ideas of how to bring the topic or message up to a person while causing the most positive emotional response possible. 

What can you do if you've dreamt of a relative or friend?

If you believe their messages are for you, write them down and take the actions suggested. These suggestions are typically loving. 

Those who dream of the deceased are usually changed in some way by the dream.

This is a positive thing. 

If you're having a dream of a relative, and you believe the messages are for someone else, tell someone you feel safe with. It could help with someone else's healing or yours, as you process the message.
