Dreaming of somebody who doesn't know they are dead?

**floatinghead** · 05-09-2011 10:26 AM

I need some guidance here, it is a subject that is very close to my heart.

My father in Law passed away a couple of years ago, we all loved him very much - since his departure a few of us have been having dreams that he has suddenly come back to life - for example he didn't really die, or he was somehow able to be revived after being dead for months. Every time I have this dream I find it emotionally draining.

Now I understand that these types of dreams are probably quite common, but here is where it gets strange:

About a year ago I dream t that he was hiding behind a tv in his house, scared, I was lucid - he reached out and hugged me - he seemed to be asking for help.

After that I have had many dreams where he is with us again, but last night I had a strange one - I asked him to come upstairs with me so that we could speak in private - I then asked him (knowing that he'd been dead for a while) what happened after he died - he looked a combination of stressed, scared and sad - 'there is nothing' he told me 'nothing' All of a sudden I realized I was dreaming, with this knowledge I turned to him and said 'look at the world around you - it is not the normal world' (I was trying to suggest that his reality had changed, he WAS dead) but he looked at me confused - I don't know if he understood - but it was too late - I woke.

Are these dreams just in my head or could I be really communicating with my father in law?

Could it be that somehow he is existing in our dreams/or we are being pulled to him?

Could it be that he doesn't know he is dead?

If that is the case - then how do I make him understand he is dead?

Thank you for taking the time to read this

im no expert, but i believe that it is possible for people that have died to not know that they are dead. so who knows.. maybe try to communicate with him more next time ur lucid. see what happens.

I wouldn't morally burden your self with the task of having to inform your father in law of his passing, but I would go through with the idea if it happens again in your dreams. Who know, maybe you will learn something about life/death from all of this.

I dream of dead people. they walk around like every other DC. They don't know they are dead

wow!

So do you ever interact with them? What are they doing in the dreamscape? is it somewhere that they are 'visiting' or a place that we all go when we die?

How can you be sure that they are actually dead people and not just dc's or other entities?

I don;t think there is a way to prove anything. Unless said dead individual passes on information that can be confirmed that you had no knowledge of, otherwise, how could anyone prove anything? I would love for this to be true, and can even dream up scientific scenarios where this is true, but I hate to somehow think it is just wishful thinking.

Only one way to find out.
