The dead come to our dreams with a message, advice or warning that should be understood in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and keep ourselves from making mistakes, according to mystics.
Psychologists believe that dreams about relatives or friends who have passed away are just a manifestation of depression or feelings of guilt towards them.
However, let’s take a closer look at the mystical point of view and try to understand what messages can be carried by people who are now alive only in our memories and can talk to us only through our dreams.
Modern dream books often do not pay enough attention to many important nuances: what the dead people look like in our dreams – dead in the grave, alive and happy, or they come to life right before our eyes, or maybe we just do not remember in our dream that this person passed away long ago.
It is commonly assumed that the dream of a dead person (talking to him, listening to his advice, and doing what he tells) is a sign of unexpected news or changes in life. Christian dream interpretation books sometimes explain that we have such kind of dreams when the soul of our deceased relative or friend has not found peace yet, and advise to hold additional ceremonies at the funeral and repose of the deceased (for example, if in the dream the deceased asks for water).
Pagan interpretations of dreams that have come down to us recommend to implicitly obey everything that the dead person asks for, in order to avoid the anger of the gods. And while dreaming dead people may be scary, sometimes it can be a good omen.
In case if in your dream a dead person comes back to life, it may mean that something lost will soon return (money, a thing, or even social status).
An English dream book interprets the dream of dead people as a sign of good events in the family, such as a wedding or the birth of a child or anything happy and prosperous. Another dream book says that seeing a dead relative in a dream before the wedding is a warning against the union. This dream indicates the unhappy marriage and warns that the children born in it will be sick and weak.
At this point, there is no definitive interpretation, and you should always take into account many confounding factors. But most interpretations concerning dead relatives (especially parents) appearing in a dream indicate a warning of trouble.
Sometimes the dreams in which a sleeping person communicates with their deceased parents, help find inner peace, confidence, and even affect the success in business and the well-being of the family.
It is also believed that it is impossible to influence the dreams in which we see our dead loved ones. Mystics claim that even if you manage to do it, it is absolutely useless, since it is not us who call them in, it is them who decide to come to us.

I had a dream not like anything I've had before. I dreamt the Annabel doll was sitting on my chest staring into my eyes all I could see was it's head and darkness in the background an I felt like it was looking into my soul trying to get in it scared the crap of me. But the thing is the second the dream started I was awake but couldn't move or open my eyes. It lasted a couple of mins and I was able to finally break free I guess is the word to use. Fir about a couple of mins afterwards every time I tried to close my eyes I saw its face like it was waiting for me. I have never ad a dream like that. Any thoughts. Also I dreamed if a cousin of mine that died abut 13 years ago I wast trying to bring him back or anything it was like he g ad never died. Me and him and three girls were standing outside this old house that the girls lived in and it as haunted by this dead witch and her bull familier I'm sure I spelled that wrong. Anyway two of the girls I knew the third I didn't. I never saw their faces but I knew who they were. They wanted us to go in and fight off the ghosts and I was ready to do it but my cousin was adamant that we didn't even set foot in the house I think he was trying to tell me something but I wouldn't listen and I don't understand why I wouldn't. Any thoughts on this as well.
I dream of my best friend from high school Mother, who had passed on last year, her mom was running late, Mrs.Long, I went to go check outside and there was a line out side to get in, so I saw her and told her to come on, another friend who had lost her son last year,I saw here in the line so I told her to follow me into the church, we went to the front because the point was that Mrs Long wanted to sing because someone has passed n her family, which was her daughter Nancy, which is alive and well, anyway Mrs long couldn't sing because they had already sing, but than they let her sing and she was happy, while My friend Tammy just disappear some where, her son died a terrible death, after all that we came outside and seen some cars had broken windows, than her great granddaughter appeared FeFe, I think it was just a crazy dream, too much going on, too much to tell

Lately I've been dreaming of my grandpa, about 3 times I think, and they're all the same. He died in January but in the dream he always comes back to life but doesn't say a word and just smiles and goes about his day like normal. I'm always so happy to see him and I ask him how did this happen and what to tell everybody but he doesn't say anything he just laughs and smiles like he used to. Could you please interpret the dream a little more for me, it would be so helpful. Thank you :)
If he isn't saying anything that means the dream has no meaning and it's not a visitation dream it's just a demon who got into ur dream and came as him. It is nothing
My mother passed away 7mths ago today and they day before yesterday was the first time I dreamed of her. In my dream someone said there go your mother I turned and their she was but I couldn't speak to her or touch her even when I tryed to get closer she would disappear. Then dream felt so real that I woke up crying hurt and thinking my mother was back. What does that mean exactly I really need to know?
