Thread: Chatting with dead relatives?

I've talked with my grandfather in a dream before, yeah. I never got the chance to meet the guy though, so it was quite a strange dream.

I don't think it was really him though, it was just a dream after all. Probably just a representation of how I imagine him to have been.

Many times I talk with deceased relatives in dreams but they are symbols, not their spirits. However, I occasionally have lucid dreams where I am convinced that I was really with them. Thes dreams are characterized by a feeling of what appears to be mutual recognition. For example:

GRANDPA’S ROOM. I enter the house and knock on some tall white double doors. A tall lady opens the door and I enter the room. Much to my surprise, I see Grandpa sitting in a chair. I realize I’m dreaming and go over to kiss him on the cheek in a moment of joyous recognition. He looks very happy and his face is filled with an expression of love and joy at seeing me again. I tell him I’m in lucid dream and am conscious of what I’m doing. I don’t recognize the woman in the room but she is a tall dignified lady.
