I had a best friend of 11yrs die almost 7yrs ago (October 7, 2001) at the age of 14.
After his death, it was all I dreamt about.
I started off dreaming about finding out he was dead, which I was told while sitting in the gymnasium after lunch in high school by a friend. Then my dreams went on to being at the funeral, then him being buried.
I had one weird dream about 6mths after his death.
I was walking into the gymnasium after lunch like I always did and was sitting there chatting with my friends. Then all of a sudden Brandon (friend that died) walked up to me and sat down. I looked over at him and told him it couldn't be possible because he was dead and he told me he was very much alive. We kept talking and he told me that he loved me and was sorry for scaring me, then I woke up.
I still occasionally have dreams about him being alive, but I know he's dead. I keep telling him that he's dead but he informs me that he's still very much alive.

My stepfather had died a few months prior to this dream.

My family had taken my stepfather to a very large, elusive building to die. I never saw the outside of this building. But, inside, it resembled a cathedral with high ceilings but dark wood and hardly any light in the place at all.
We escorted my stepfather deep into the giant building. But, never actually went in any of the rooms. We halted in a hallway to make our departure. He turned to me and asked if I had anything to say.
I told him things I should have in my waking life: how I loved him, how great of a father he was to look up to, how he made us all happy.
He smiled, said a few words I don't remember, and we hugged for quite a long time. Then he simply walked down the hall, deeper into the building and disappeared.

My family and I were wandering around and found a room with a desk lamp turned on. As soon as we entered we were notified by someone in our family that the owner of the house thought we should leave and that it was time to go home. The End.

Hello i hope your doing well, I have a dream over and over and over of my grandmother in her house where im inside her house and in all the rooms at different times and different things happen.. i rarely see her but when i do i can remember well when i wake up. I usually see her happy or her favorite color or fruit or with family like old times...but there is a dream i had just the other night where i walk into her room and my dad says "don't you know" and i say no what and in that moment my heart sank as if i knew my mother had died (which she is still alive in real life) and i ran out my grandmothers room searching for answers but never found them and woke up scared. In real life my mom has been lonely and kept on her own and was given advice from varendeh to console my mom and help her alot. I also encountered as well on another night i walked into my grandmothers room and told her i loved her.... i gave her a big hug and noticed she was skinny and she couldn't talk back she i new she understood that i loved her .... i always have dream of my deceased family members and would be happy to share them with you.

Last night I had a dream that my deceased father was wrapped in clear plastic in a car I had driven. I told myself I had to get him out of the car even though he was heavy. When I had him on the ground I could feel he was warm. I anxiously unwrapped him and he breathed and smiled at me. I said "Dad, you're alive!" He said "Yes." I was so happy. I think that was the end of the dream. I really wonder what this could mean.

A friend of mine died and 6 or 7 months afterwards I had a dream about her. She always teased me when she was living that she was going to make a tough cookie out of me and in the dream she brought it up and I said "I'm trying.." She just said that she knew and I was doing fine.

When my Dad passed he went to Johns Hopkins for maybe a week beforehand and I flew in from Hawaii. My family and I rented a house near the hospital and one morning I told my sister that I'd dreamed Dad was going to die when I was flying back to Hawaii, that I wouldn't make it back to see him again. Literally as soon as I landed in Los Angeles my oldest sister called me to say Dad had passed.

My husband died and came to my daughter who was then 14 in one of her dreams. She was on a swing when he appeared. He told her that he had died because he had smoked from her age 14, and warned her not to take up the habit.Then he said that they were calling him and that he must go ...and he did!

Hi Joan
I have a dream for you. I had it about a year ago. First I have to tell you I lost my 20 year old son a little over 2 years ago in a tragic accident.
In my dream he came into my bedroom and told me to come with him he wanted to show me how he got around now. I remember feeling that it was just an ordinary day and I wasnt surprised to see him.
He then showed me how to fly, I was flying around my house about a foot or 2 off the ground. I remember it all so clear. I remember flying into my office and accidently kicking over the computer (which was on the floor) with my foot.

When I woke up in the morning, I remembered everything. I went into my office with my morning coffee like I do every morning and saw that my computer was knocked over! I dont know if I did it by sleep walking or what, but I do like to think that it really happened.
Have you ever heard of something like that happening? Im really interested in what everyone thinks.

Hi Joan,

I'm a 25year old woman, and ever since my grandfather died (when I was 9 years old) he has appeared to me from time to time in my dreams. He is usually in a broken down house which has 'his chair' in it...I can smell the particular brand of cigarettes he smoked and he always reassures me to not fear him.
He has always told me things which eventually come true...however only seems to warn me of illness if the family member is going to pull through. I have been able to tell my sisters of their pregnancies before they even realise themselves...the weirdest occasion of this was where my Grandpa told me in a dream "One of you is expecting" but would not name to which of my siblings he was referring...this was strange as he normally would say "Your sister X is pregnant...and she's going to have a boy on XX/XX/06 etc"
I casually mentioned this to my older brother the next day and he dropped the plate of food that he had in his hand, he asked if my Grandpa had said who it was. I explained that he hadn't and why that was unusual; my brother then told me that his then girlfriend was pregnant with his child and going for a termination in a few days.

I was always afraid to speak of this to anyone as I come from quite a strict Catholic family... However when I told my brother,he informed me that this sort of thing runs along the maternal line of my family. I then told my mother, who was surprisingly happy to hear this and implored me to tell her from now on. I think in a way she feels it's a special link to her father.

I do have other strange foreboding dreams, deja vu, intuitions which are unrelated to my deceased family. I am slowly learning to channel this skill.

I hope you find my experiences of interest.

I just woke up from a wierd dream. My dream began with an old friend who I had dated very briefly(we remain good friends). He was walking away holding some kind of food like eggrolls(I'm asian). He turned around and walked towards me and told me he was in love with me and gave me an eggroll. We kissed and he left. Then when he returned he was my deceased friend. (The last time I saw my friend before he past, he told me he had feelings for me and we danced all night and kissed). Me and my past friend began dating in my dream. I bought him a gift, but I can't remember. He then went to buy me a gift but I did not ever get it. We went to his home and there was a puppy running around. We stood outside his house, which wasn't really his house because he did not have one at the time of his death, and he held me from behind and we danced and kissed.

Then I walked to my friend's house and they were very concerned with me because I didn't want to admit that he was dead. My friend said, "I saw his shirt lying on the bed". I broke down and cried and admitted that I thought he was still alive. I think I decided to write a book about it too.

This was a detailed long dream. I felt like it was all night. It was romantic and I know I miss my friend. Does anyone know what this means?
