My dad died 8 years ago and I think of him every day, too. I talk to him every day.

I love him, and I miss my mom every day. What a nice thought. Ive only seen her in my dreams a couple of times. Memories carry us through if nothing else.

Dreams are definitely a way they visit us. It has happened to me also

We are energy. Our nervous systems are energy. We are a part of a whole.

My dad died when I was 25. I’m 49 now. I think about him every day. It’s not in a sad way most days. It’s that I’m so grateful to God that he was my dad. I was so blessed.

My “one that got away” visited me in a dream to tell me he had been searching for me. He told me he had a brand new life and he wanted to show me everything. When I woke up I knew it was a real encounter. Searched his name and his obituary came up. He died just a few weeks prior to the dream.

My mom died 30 years ago. I have had three dreams of her (and I dream all the time and remember my dreams ) and every time she appears in my dream somebody has passed, and she always reassured me that she met them on the other side.

I go on dates with my late fiancé in my dreams. I hear my grandma when I wake up, like “sweetie wake up you need to eat” I was super sick growing up. Died next to my late fiancé. Yes. Our energies are so connected.

the first time i dreamt of my mom after she passed was her as a waitress, the job she loved, I saw her and said to myself, "thats mom" and she turned and smiled at me and she was younger.

My estranged father came to me in a dream and apologized to me. He died that night. I believe wholeheartedly that apology was real

I had an incredibly similar dream with my grandmother. I was woken from it to a phone call about her passing.

My dad had been sick and came to me the night he died in a dream and told me he died. I knew before I even went into his room. There are a lot of things out there we don't understand.

My mom died when I was 5. I’m 44, there has not been a single day since her death that I hadn’t thought of her at least once

I lost my mom 21 years ago. I'm an athiest, but my mom was not. I have begged her countless times to visit me from wherever she may be, but never experienced anything supernatural.

This is exactly what happened to me when an Alzheimer’s patient I got really close to passed unexpectedly. She came to me in my dream then my phone woke me up and it was her daughter telling me she had just passed away.
