Okay, so I remember when I was like 7, My Grandmother died. I would always have dreams about her. Not Lucid ones though. I thought it was reality, I would wake up in my dream and see her there. We would always just talk, I would tell her how much I loved and missed her and sometimes it would feel REALLY eerie and creepy. Especially when I'd wake up and realize it was a dream. One day I just put my hands together and told her I loved her but to stay out of my dreams for a while because it was getting to a point where I'd have the same dream over and over again. Well, not the same dream, we'd talk about different things but, she would always be there. I thought simply asking her spirit to stay away for a while wouldn't work and it was so illogical. After I did though, I stopped having the dreams. I thought it was the weirdest thing ever. Now I've realized that I have Lucid dreams. I know I'm dreaming. I thought I'd try asking Grandma if she would reenter my dreams again, just to see if it would work and sure enough it did work. It's still the same thing except that I am aware that I'm dreaming. I tried it with other passed relatives and again sure enough, I can invite any of my passed relatives' spirits into my dreams. But, that's my big question.. Is it really their spirits?? Or just my head playing tricks on me? Is it actually Grandma's spirit communicating with me? Am I Psychic to some extent? I know this should be a good thing but, for some reason it feels really creepy. Almost like they aren't gone. Anyway, I'm asking your guys' thoughts on this. I am VERY curious. |

You're new here, so welcome. I'm sorry your loss. If you are feeling persistently depressed you should seek help from professionals. Or at the very least talk to someone about it. |

I've had similar dreams about passed relatives, and they were very profound and powerful, felt like absolutely real experiences. Personally though, I don't believe in souls or spirits, I just think it's a really intense dreaming experience. |

There are many cultures here in our world where people do sincerely believe that you can authentically communicate with spirits through dreams. In fact, in many African indigenous cultures this is socially accepted throughout the entire community and dream communication is commonly practiced. It just boils down to personal belief whether you think you are actually talking to your dead relatives spirits or not. Personally I'm a little skeptic about it, but do I think it's entirely impossible... no. |

I think it's real and you probably already know this in your heart. |

I think that's a stupid argument and you probably already know that it's stupid argument in your heart. Maybe nothing exists? Maybe we're all just brains floating in jars? Honestly it's impossible to know. But I trust most those who dedicate themselves to finding that truth by using the best tools and the best peer review processes we have available to us. Nobody can be certain of anything, but at least in this, we can be pretty damn sure. |

It's a stupid argument because we know that dreams exist yet science can't prove them. I just wanted to point out your hypocrisy of using science only when it suits you to claim something as real. |

Saw the above post and just had to comment, while passing through... |

Science hasn't proven anything. It just showed you that our eyes move while we sleep and our brain circuits. The only reason we are so sure it happens is because we experience it so much. But someone else can not possibly proof to you that dreaming is possible if you never experienced it urself. |

The fact that someone can't prove to you something you never have experienced yourself does not mean that proof of said phenomenon doesn't exist. |

It doesnt matter if they 'happen' or not, the mere fact you experience them is proof enough. |

There's definetly no way of ever telling what is really going on. But i know that dreams can be so vivid and real it becomes hard to really defining reality. Reading this looks like it was helpful and fun. And in a way a piece of ur grandma and relatives is still living vividly inside ur dreams. And they will be for as long as you remember them. |
|
So... if your relatives really want to contact you after they die they will. I've seen it more than once in my own family. In one my aunt was told by her son that died to look in a drawer and she went in his room and opened that drawer and found a journal. |

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake
It would be nice to talk to them, but talking with them might make you hurt because there dead and can only talk to them through your dreams. |
