Meaning of dreaming of deceased

Dreaming of someone who has passed away can make many people worried or even scared, but most of the time, the dream happens for very positive reasons.

In general, when a deceased appears in your dream, it is because he wishes to relieve your nostalgia and show that everything is okay on the other side, so that you can move on without letting the sadness of loss take over your life.

However, the visit of a deceased person brings messages and signs that vary according to details, such as who the person was in your life, what they were doing in the dream, how they appeared to be feeling, or if they communicated indirectly with you. Read in this article what message and meaning each possibility presents.

To dream of deceased acquaintance

Dreaming of people who have passed away is a common sign that you miss the company of that person in your life. However, some types of dreams, especially those involving people who were very close to you, may carry messages or warnings from those loved ones.

Discover below what it means to dream of a brother, father, grandfather or a close friend who has passed away.

To dream of a dead brother

If the deceased person who appeared in your dream is your brother, it shows that you may be missing some closer companionship that you can rely on and trust, and your brother is very much missed in this regard.

Grief is an important stage, as is always keeping the memory of those we love alive, but it is also necessary to seek new bonds of affection throughout life.

For this reason, to dream of a deceased brother indicates that you should seek new people to live with. It also works as a good omen for the future. It is time for new projects or to invest in old dreams.

To Dream of a Deceased Friend

To dream of a deceased friend indicates that new times are coming in your life. But for something new to arise, something must go away, so that there is room to receive this newness.

Sometimes this may involve something you have a great appreciation for. You must understand that everything in life is fleeting and embrace the endings of cycles so that they make room for new possibilities.

To Dream of a Deceased Grandfather

To dream of a deceased grandfather signals that a period of great maturity is about to arrive in your journey. There is a good chance that an end is approaching, which can be professional, in a relationship, friendship or study.

You are already ready for a new phase of growth in a new place, and this is what dreaming of a deceased grandfather is trying to show you. Remember that although terminations can be scary at times, you will learn a lot from each experience and come out of them wiser.

To dream of a dead father

If the deceased who appeared in your dream is your father, the message is that you should pay more attention to your personal projects. The father figure shows the one who protects the family, and a dream about a deceased father is a sign that you may be neglecting your projects or investments.

To dream of a deceased father shows that your projects are unprotected and running risks that could be avoided. This is not an indication that something will necessarily go wrong, but rather that you need to pay more attention to these issues in your life, so that you can protect yourself.

To dream of something of a deceased

Sometimes the deceased person wants to communicate with someone on the material plane, but does not have the strength to do so in a clear and direct manner, such as through a conversation.

So she tries to send her message, or get your attention in other ways, such as through objects, and each of them conveys a different message. Read below what it means to dream of the photo, a letter or the shoe of someone who has passed away.

To dream of a photo of a deceased person

If during the dream you saw the picture of a deceased loved one, it means that he is trying to get your attention and alert you to something. Try to remember whether the dream brought you good or bad sensations, and how you felt immediately after waking up.

If you dream of a photo of the deceased and you feel good, you can rest assured that the person only wanted to lessen your longing. But if you felt distress, sadness or worry, be vigilant in the coming days and beware of people in whom you confide your intimate problems.

To dream of a letter from the deceased

When a dream shows a letter written by someone who has already passed away, it is indicating that you have a will, a secret desire that needs to come out of the world of ideas, because this is the best time for it.

Try to put shame and fear aside and run after your dreams. Follow this message from your loved one to take the initiative and, also, the reins of your life!

To dream of deceased shoe

If, in your dream, the shoe of a deceased appeared, it came as a message that you need to rethink what you consider to be your foundation in life. Try to analyze everything you believe to be important and put into perspective.

Reflect if these things are really so important and necessary for you, and if they make you happy. From the answers, remove from your life everything that does not add to you and does not help you to evolve, to, thus, make room for new things that will make a transformation in your life.

To dream of deceased doing something

The meaning of a dream depends on several factors and details, so ideally you should remember as much as possible so that the interpretation of the dream is done correctly.

When you dream of a deceased person, the message he seeks to convey to you varies according to certain aspects, such as what the deceased person did during the dream, whether he smiled at you, hugged you, visited you or was dying again. Read below the meaning that each of these possibilities presents.

To dream of the deceased embracing

If the deceased person has given you a hug during your dream, it means that you can rest assured that there is strong support for you from the spirit world, and that it may come from that person or from other spirits who wish you well.

Trust the message of dreaming of deceased hugging when you feel you are alone or in need of help, remember your spiritual friends and ask for their assistance.

To dream of a visit from the deceased

To dream that you receive a visit from an acquaintance who has passed away is a sign that he has come to bring a message directly to you, this being advice about some specific situation in your life.

If you dream of the visit of the deceased and you are frightened, it means that you should beware of people of bad character who can harm you. If it was the opposite, it is an indication that good friendships are around you.

To dream of the deceased smiling

A dream that shows a person who has passed away smiling at you varies according to the intensity of the dream. If the smile was modest and small, it means that you have overcome the loss of that person and are coping well with the situation, which makes the person in question satisfied.

Already if you dream of deceased smiling openly and contagiously, the dream brings an omen that your life will be very happy and abundant.

To dream of the deceased dying

To dream of the deceased dying again is a good omen. It means that the person is already at peace on the spiritual plane, in a better place, and is sending you positive energies.

It can also mean that a cycle in your own life is coming to an end, but there is no reason to fear. Not all endings are sad, and often they make room for something better.

Does dreaming of deceased represent a sign of longing?

To dream of a loved one who has passed away has some meanings that depend on the details of the dream. One of the main ones is, yes, a sign of longing, which the deceased tries to placate with a visit to soothe you.

This is also to show you that he is well and happy on the other plane, showing that you do not need to be so sad about his departure. Sometimes, when a loved one leaves, what is left is a feeling of emptiness and sadness.

During sleep, which is the time when the spirit is detached from the body and can perceive the subtle energies around, the deceased can communicate and ask you to overcome and move on with a full heart, knowing that he is happy in the afterlife.

If you dreamed of someone who has passed away, keep this experience with great affection, because he came to bring you warmth, love and peace.
