Psychopompic Dreams of my dogs and my father?

I have now lost 3 things in my life that I have loved. My 2 dogs and recently my father. I have been waiting to have "the dream". It always happens the following month on the exact same day. I have this dream one time for each passing. Never again.

My first dream was of my dog that passed and was an 8 year old Rottweiler. It was a very strange dream. A dream like no-other. Surreal.
I dreamed that I was sitting in my front room and looking out my large front room window in my favorite chair. I remember my single coffee table was now at least a dozen forming a semi-circle in front of my window from wall to wall between myself and the window. My dog came in from the front window and entered my room and sat there looking at me , the tables between us, not being able to pass over or through the tables.

He was younger and healthy. I called him over and over, more frantically as time passed. He just looked at me. I began to cry. He then left back through the window. I was screaming for him to come back but he didnt. I was in tears.

I woke up and I was crying for real. It was just so strange. I have never dreamed this way about him ever since and not dreamed about him at all whatsoever. That was 8 years ago.

Dream 2

Same strange feeling during dream...

A couple of years later my Border Collie died. That was about 6 years ago.

Another very bizarre dream exactly the next month on the same day. I dreamed that now both my dogs were together. Younger. I remember that I could see both of them. In a basement in front of a fireplace keeping warm and watching something, maybe a TV. They could not see me for I was upbove them looking through a brick opening too small for me to fit through. Maybe an inch or so. Again feelings of a great loss and crying. I did not call to them as in the last dream. I was happy they were alright but also very very sad.

Again waking up like I was being pulled away by something and when I finally awoke I was in an uncontrolled crying spell. My pillow was wet with tears.

Dream 3

My father passed away Jan 24 very suddenly.

On Feb 24 I had the same kind of a dream.

My parents lived next door to me and I keep chickens for eggs. My father always took care of them, food, water, and picking up the eggs. Even named the Rooster.

In my dream, I see my father in the chicked coop taking care of things. Looked like he was picking up the eggs I think or probably cleaning it out. He was dressed in coveralls (he never wore them) and had a dust mask on but I knew it was him. He didnt say a thing and neither did I. I just watched him. I remember seeing holes in the chicken coop where the mice had chewed threw the wood.

I felt a great feeling of loss and was crying in the dream. Just like the last two dreams of my dogs. I woke up and there were tears in my eyes.

These are my three dreams. I really dont know what to think of them but there seems to be a pattern. I never dream this wat again after I have this kind of a dream.

They all seem to happen in the morning when I wake up.

And I am a very heavy dreamer. Lucid dreams happen quite often. But these dreams are very different...

Another very strange thing happened. I had to stay with my mother that night of his passing. The next morning I went out to feed the chickens as my father always did.

The rooster was getting up in age. Twelve or so. I found him dead in the chicken coop. He had died the very same day as my father. He was frozen solid.
He was my fathers buddy and he had a name for him. It was his pet.

I find this extremely strange that my fathers Rooster had died the very same day as him. Dunno.


Has anyone else had dreams like this before? Of a loved one or pet.

I would like to hear other peoples dreams like this. Am I the only one??

Yes and no. I've had dreams in which I've experienced the level of emotion you describe, that completely aching empty feeling that makes you feel like you're going to suffocate on your own grief. They are always about those very close to me - my wife, my daughters, parents, etc.

Unlike yours, however, I don't have these dreams after they die, I have them before (as of today, none of those I've had those dreams about have died). I believe these dreams to be spiritual in nature, though not from a precognitive sense. To me, they are my Spirit Guides letting me know the nature of the relationship I have with that person and what that person means to me in my life.

What you are experiencing are not truly Psychopompic, however, as you are not actively engaged in helping them cross over. In each of these cases, I believe you were being told "Good bye" by them and shown that even though their physical bodies have died, they continue to go on, just in a way that you can't relate to them right now (thus the barriers to you joining them).

As for the rooster dying the same day as your father, it's uncommon but not unheard of, even for humans. When someone we have a very deep and special spiritual connection to dies, a part of us goes into the spirit world along with them. Sometimes, we can't recover from that soul loss. If the soul loss is great enough, the remainder simply follows along.

This happened with my Stepfather. His mother and he had a very close bond. When she died, he was devestated. He never really recovered. He died three months later - to the day. It was not a suicide, but completely an accident compounded by a previously undiagnosed medical condition.

Your dreams are nothing to worry about or to feel badly about. You suffered soul loss when they died. Your grief is natural and acceptable. Honor the emotion, and then let it go.

If you can't let it go, then seek the help of a trained Spiritualist or professional Psychiatric Counselor. Either one can help you regain the soul you lost in your loved ones' deaths.
