Have I seen those who are dead in the waking life, within my dreams? Yes. |

I've thought about writing this for the last couple of weeks, wondering if anyone had before, but I'll be honest, I didn't even bother searching. I'm so tired from thinking about my mother, who I lost over a month ago... Harsh I know, but what I mean is, since her death, I've thought about how much I loved her, miss her, and how it all went down. Suffice it to say, don't smoke kids! |

I lost my father to cancer a year ago, when I was 18. I've never thought about him while in an LD, so I haven't had an opportunity to try this. I don't have good control anyway. Maybe it's my mind blocking me from trying to see him in a psuedo-real state because it will not be good for my emotions. Maybe you should consider this as well. If you're particularly clear and present in your LD and interacting with your mother, looking just the way she always looked, and speaking in her voice that is comforting to you, etc. it may not be healthy for your grieving process. In my non-LDs my father appears a lot, in short bursts where he is coming home from a long vacation and I am so excited to see him and hug him and tell him everything he's missed while he's been away. They are very happy, bubbly dreams. No nightmares so far. But I'm not sure if I'm ready for a real-feeling interaction with him yet. |

"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother. Losing your loved ones is one of the hardest things, if not the hardest, that we'll go through. |

It was the best of times. It was the end of times.
When my father died, A few days later I remembered a dream where we were having a party and he comes. We had a good time and when I woke up, there was tears in my eyes. It is possible to meet deceased family members, but try not to think how they look like in the grave, then it will be a real nightmare. |

I think it can be a good method of comfort when you are really hurting, especially if it is relatively close to their death as their memories are very fresh and so the dream will seem quite real. |

Firstly- I agree with you 100%. If I see someone who has passed away in a LD that is NOT them- I am not communicating with a ghost or calling their "spirit." An LD is something that happens inside my own head, and does not involve projecting or accepting any sort of cooky metaphysical "signals" or "energy" or "vibrations." |

I've dreamt about anyone that was close to me and died very soon after their death. Never lucid though. I'm really not very good at bring in other people in my lucids. |

I can say that you can actually summon and have a conversation with people that you have lost. Whether or not it is actually some kind of true communication is debatable and I do not lean one way or another. I have recently had a couple of conversations with my step dad who died 6 years ago and he is exactly as I remember him, joking, laughing and all... even joking about the fact that he is dead.. I do personally feel like this could be a very very helpful experience for someone who has lost a loved one. I would say to try it, and expect the best. If you let the people here tell you that its going to be a horrible experience and you expect that, you best believe thats what it will be. Expect the best of your experience and you will get a great experience. Enjoy the time with your mother. We are all sorry for your loss. |

Start from the ground and go up from there.
I did talk to my dead grandfather, one month after he died, it started as a regular lucid dream, I opened a door and he was standing their, and actually had a decent conversation with him. We talked about his resentments to my mother, and how he did actually love her very intriguing. Was it just my mind telling me to put me at ease, most likely, was it beyond uplifting, certainty was! |
