The death of a loved one is possibly the most difficult kind of loss to cope with. It is when the grief breaks us that magic of the astral plane quietly enters through the cracks.
Often, it brings us dreams of loved ones who have passed on. While most people dismiss these as mere visions conjured by the subconscious mind, these dreams usually carry messages that you can decode if you know what to look for.
What does it mean when you dream of a departed loved one?
When humans die, their souls leave the physical body and move on to the astral realm, where the soul learns karmic lessons. While the soul lives on in the astral plane, the physical body rests.
It is during this time that the souls of the departed might visit their loved ones in their dreams to le them know that they are in a better place, and that the departed should not be mourned.
Usually, when you wake up feeling warm and secure after dreaming of a loved one who has died, this s the message they have for you. They want you to know that they are happy wherever they are, and that they are watching over you and keeping you safe.
What do recurring dreams of deceased loved ones mean?
In most cases, as the spirit moves on from the astral plane to the after life or the reincarnation, dreams of departed loved ones become more and more infrequent. In some cases, however, the opposite happens.
If you have been dreaming of someone who is no longer with you almost every night, it is not because they are visiting you from the astral plane.
Instead, this indicates that you might be having trouble reaching closure about their death. Visiting a grief counselor or a medium can help you come to terms with the loss.
What do dreams of long departed loved ones mean?
Dreams in which the spirits of a loved one long deceased appear tend to be exceptionally cryptic and are very individual in nature.
Each such dream requires special attention to be decoded properly, but generally, they point towards an urgent matter of spiritual nature that requires your immediate attention.
