I am curious what you all think of the times when deceased relatives or loved ones appear in dreams. For me I have found it to be extremely cathartic at times. I had a lucid dream with my dad in it on what would have been his birthday. I got to hug him and tell him I loved him and missed him. Another recent LD involved my father in law. Shortly before he died he told me at the hospital he loved me. I have a hard time expressing my emotions and at the time didnt really answer back in kind as I thought of him more as a friend. But in my dream, like my dad I hugged him and told him I loved him and missed him. I really cherish these dreams when I get to relive a bit with those no longer here, because in the dream they seem real at the moment and it seems like you are really talking to them.
