dreams with people who've passed away

Tweet

I am not that superstitious and I'm not one to believe in ghosts. But I've had three dreams in the course of my life that I had people who've already passed away talk to me. When I was in high school, just as I arrived at the local airport in the Philippines, my dad who picked me up told me that my uncle's wife finally passed away from cancer and other complications. We just dropped off my luggage at our house and went directly to my uncle's house for the wake, an hour's drive. That night, I decided not to approach the casket as I didn't want to. And I ended up spending the night in my cousin's room and had this dream with my dead aunt very happy to see me and said that she didn't know I was already here because I didn't say hello. That morning, I went directly to her casket and said hello. A year later, my paternal grandmother that I was close to passed away. A few weeks after her burial, I had a dream where I was asleep and she was just brushing my long hair the whole time. I used to brush my grandmother's hair whenever she stays for a visit. A year ago, a high school friend passed away. I didn't get to go to his burial as it happened in the Philippines. I was also going through a tough time then and when I had this dream, my friend and I were just talking about my life and he was basically telling me that everything will be okay. Maybe it was my conscience or subconscious that led to these dreams, I can't really say. But I always felt better after. It's like I get to say goodbye in my own way. The only time I felt shivers was when I dreamt of my grandmother. Have you ever had dreams similar to these? What did it make you feel? What do you think causes these dreams?
