Dream Dictionary Dead Relatives
Some people choose to separate ghosts, and dead relatives as a different dream symbol.
Some people choose to separate ghosts, and dead relatives as a different dream symbol.
There are several reasons for this switch. One is because some people don’t necessarily dream about ghosts, and merely have dreams where there is a dead relative and they are attending their funeral. The meaning of dream about dead relatives in a case such as this could not be discerned by looking up ghosts in a dream dictionary. Another reason for the switch is because sometimes the ghosts in dreams are not relatives at all, but friends, or sometimes strangers. If this is the case, then surely looking up the meaning of dead relatives would not help to get a full picture of ghosts. Be all of that as it may though, ghosts do share some things in colon with dead relatives in dreams.
The dream meaning of dead relatives is not always so clear cut for some people, but most of the time seeing the death of a relative in the dream can be due to grief. This is the case of the relative is dead already in life. Recalling the fact that they are dead or images of them dead is just a way of letting you know that you still care about them and that their death still affected you. If the relative in your dream is dead, but you are witnessing images of their death, this could also be associated with guilt, particularly if anything that you have done could have played a part in the death of your relative in any way, even if it was a very small part that was played.
It is common to feel feelings of guilt when someone dies in a car crash because you held them up for a few extra seconds. A common line of thought is that you could have saved them if you had just let them go. A matter of seconds is all it takes to save a life or end it on the road. This is just one example of many dream meanings associated with dead relatives though.
If you happen to have a dream where you are seeing a relative that is currently alive, being killed, or worse, being murdered, then this could mean that you are sensing danger in their near future. If this is the case, some dream interpretations would want you to go to that relative the next time that you had a chance, and let them know how you have been feeling. It may not change their opinion at all, but the very fact that you have shared with them, information that could have saved their life will left any weight of guilt off your shoulders. You still may feel that they are in danger, but it will likely be less severe, and something that you can get over much more easily .Traditionally dreams involving death are either attached to emotions of grief or fear, but it is up to the dreamer to decide which option applies to them best.

Em 2016-09-09 09:59:00 Three days ago I had a dream about my great gramma and her mom. I don't remember her mom but in my dream she was young and healthy. They were celebrating, drinking champagne, the colours red and gold were decorated around the room, music was playing and a lot of people were there. I didn't know what the occasion was but they were all dancing, laughing and smiling. My grandpa (my great gramma's son) has been in the hospital since June and the moment I woke up I knew they were celebrating that he was going to be with them soon, I just knew it and told my fiance as soon as I woke up. Three days after that dream, he passed away. I completely believe in dream visitations. My childhood cat visits me all the time and occasionally my dog. [Reply] |

Jackie 2015-08-27 14:38:25 So I dreamed that my mother passed away last summer. I told her because the dream really scared me. Then a few weeks later she told me she dreamed she died and out of her two daughters I took it the hardest. Then October 11 last year she had a heart attack and passed. Now I dream about her once a month. The first few times she was in my dream alive and I was excited but confused. Then I had dreams where she was dead and came alive . Here recently it has been dreams where her and I are on adventures. Then last night I dreamed I saw her and my deceased uncle were looking at me smiling then I awoke but was still in a dream and I was crying. In my dream I thought it meant I would be dying next. Then I woke up. [Reply] |

Felicity 2015-08-08 14:40:44 It's been twice that I've had this dream. I keep having dreams that my mom is dead or is dying and she still living now and I really want someone to talk to me because I don't know that the sign for that she's going to die soon or that's just me dreaming because we only get along that well and I wake up every morning crying because I don't want her to die.

Valerie Luevano 2015-07-15 23:10:22 I had a dream of a close friend I even called him my brother Cuz we were so close to me and my family, he's been deceased for almost 12 years now, and I haven't had a dream of him for quite awhile now, but last night the dream was about him texting me and saying he was alive n had to fake his death because he was trying to get out of a situation where the other people didn't want him to get out so they were gonna kill him, so he faked his death, n also when he called me I was asking how old he would be now n just talking n his voice was just the same when he was alive n I could remember it. So I just wanna know what this dream could mean? Or what it interprets? [Reply] |

Jessica 2015-06-21 05:57:19 Two nights in a row I've woke myself up crying.1st night I was crying so hard I had to get up. I was scared that if I went back to sleep right than my dream would continue.My granny passed back in 2006.I seen her before she passed,but than within seconds I was over her casket crying and that's when I woke up.2nd night I dreamed I walked in and seen my papa dead on his bed just as they stated he was when they found him.He passed back in 1998.I stood over him just as he was trying to wake him up,but than realizing he was actually dead.I than began to cry just as the night before I woke up crying then slowly cried myself back to sleep (I wasn't fully awake this time.I don't know what to make of any of this.I was very very close to both my granny and papa which who really raised me up until my papa passed . I've had a visit from my granny the same night she passed.Waking up to a bright white round light with me hearing her say everything is OK and that she love's me. I've also had a visit from my papa a few years ago telling me to move back to my home town which I did than later finding out my 2 oldest boys were getting molested by their sf.If anyone can help me figure out the 2 current dreams it would be awesome.

chelsea 2015-03-21 21:14:02 Ive been having dreams of my grandmother who passed away before i was born I only knew her from pictures In the dream she is speaking to me but i cant understand her and she is trying to give me a locket with carvings on it idk what it means but Ive had this dream about 4 times already and im only 14 so my parents dont know whats wrong but my grand farther before he passed away ( married to the same Grandmother) had always told me that one day I will unlock a special gift that my grandmother had and it will help me see things differently. idk if this was because he was indian and believed in things like that or if he was right about a moth after i turned 14 i started having wierd de ja vu about things and i like knew when something bad would happen or i knew of something bad was happening, and when im alone i feel like im being watched and i can feel someone there. could i possibly have a genetic sense or something or is my family crazy? but i wanna know what I can do to learn more about this im almost 15 and wierd things keep happening.

James 2016-02-05 10:16:29 Hey chelsea, I have a bit of take on this, you can tell me what you think. I am 23 years old, and I too was about 16 or 17 when I started to unlock certain gifts and ways of seeing things. For one, to start off with, many times when we see a dead relative in a dream, it actually can be them trying to reach us for help in the afterlife. Contrary to popular belief, many times when humans die they end up in a sort of nether-zone or nothingness, due to unfulfilled destinies which they will fulfill in upcoming lives. Receiving help from relatives can actually speed up this process for them. It is hard to say as the mainstream society would think a lot of this "weird" or "taboo" but it is really so. There are many of a few avenues to help people who we are related that have passed. Hope this helps, feel free you can contact me for more details about this or other questions you may have. My email is jediireid@gmail.com. Gratitude  [Reply] |

billie 2015-02-26 10:43:53 Im 16 years old, my uncle passed away 5 years ago at a very young age. The first months after he past i had dreams where i was with him but it was the night he died i could see what happend and i couldnt do anything about it, i had this same dream for at least 4 times a week and went on for quite some time and it really upset me. This wasnt a visitation dream and i think the reason i wasl having these dreams were because my mind hasnt been put to rest as they told us he died of natural causes but was in his thirtys so we dont believe that and i also had alot of guilt when we lost him, he was more like a brother to me than an uncle he was very childish. i never told him how much i love him ever and ive felt bad about this ever since but in september 2014 i had a dream the night before my first day starting at my school, i was at my great nans house but my nans wasnt there, was just me and scott. He told me that he loved me and that he was proud of me and to keep it up because im going to make it, i said i love him and i miss him all the world and then he got up and left. I woke up emotional but felt like a huge weight had been lifted and i knew that was him talking to me. When he passed away i was 11, i went down hill from that point, i was depressed but i hid it well, i started cutting but no one had a clue. By the time i was 12 i was taking drugs, smoking, staying out late and getting introuble with police my mum and dad couldnt control me and i hurt them alot with my attitude to life.. i wouldnt go to school to the point my where my mum would walk me through the gates but i would just walk back out once she left. When i was 13 i met my boyfriend and we were together for 6 months before i fell pregnant at 14, i wasnr ideal and please dont judge me. We kept our son and ive turned my life around and i continue to do so. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 years and our son is 18 months old. My boyfriend stuck by me and helped me get back on track dispite my dad and older brothers almost killing him lol. But anyway when i found out i was expecting i kept it from my mum knowing she would make me abort anf i started going to school every single day (Being sick on the way) and i told my mum after i had my 12 week scan when i was 14 weeks pregnant and my family where devistated. But they eventually came around. When my son was just 2 months old i started back at school 3 days a week in november until january were i then started full time and my son was in day care while i was learning. I started at my new school in september 2014 because they told.me i had the option to re-do year 10 (im ment to be in year 11) and seeing as my school was egar to get rid of me giving me slips for collages ect (i want yo be a midwife so i needed my grades) so i decied to move and start a fresh and go back into year ten to ensure i get my grades so anyway sorry for the detail that was me cutting a long story short even tho i just basically wrote you a book. Anyway, thats why hearing my uncle tell me he is proud and that he loves me have gave me even more motivation and now ive found this site i know for sure this was my uncle. [Reply] |

stranger 2014-07-31 16:06:39 A few years ago I was going visit my gramma in new jersey when I had a dream. In the dream I saw an old lady pass away from a heart attack all alone in her kitchen, well felt it to be exact. This dream came to me a week before my gramma passed away. That by itself was weird but then my dad and me were going through old pictures and I saw the lady. It turns out she was known to my dad as aunt lucy, and as I explain her death to my dad he says that's exactly what happened. She passed away along time before I was born and was best friends with my gramma. Please I need someone to at least guess what all this means. [quote][/quote]  [Reply] |

Just a person 2014-07-09 09:50:01 I dreamed something weird. I was an air hostess and one of the passengers were my grandmother and grandfather, my grandfather died long before I was born but I've seen him in pictures. Strangely in my dream I knew he isn't alive in the real world so I spoke to him. I can't remember what we said. The plane was having some technical difficulties so I tried fixing the problems. Then I saw a heart pillow and I don't know how but I knew it was my grandfathers. After that my dream was set in my house and all my relatives were there as if it was a big celebration, but I was crying remembering of my grandfather. It was like I travelled in time. The last thing I remember of my dream is that I went up to my room and sat in my bathroom and cried, then I woke up... [Reply] |

Victoria Hope 2011-11-12 17:56:28 As a child my uncle Michael was killed by heart failure. I, yes, practically killed him. I felt mad and I screamed out to the Lord, "Kill one of my family. Kill my uncle Michael." He died a few weeks later and I felt terrible. My uncle and I talk about every night and I pray with him a lot. I've missed him, and it's hard going to sleep at night. I hope none of you have to feel that way. I bless you all. [Reply] |
