I have always been fortunate when it comes to dreaming. Not only do I have very vivid dreams splashed with a vast array of colors but I also retain most of my dreams in my waking moments. Last night was no exception to those rules.
Last night I dreamed of my mom. It is not the first time she has been in my dreams since she passed a couple of weeks ago but this dream was the first time that she was the main character in the night-time production of my subconscious. During the wee hours of my REM sleep we were able to have a conversation.
In the bizarre circumstances of my dream she had already passed away but when I was the only other person in the room she would become magically reanimated and we would talk at great length. When others entered the room she remained still, not a word escaped from her lips. When I awoke this morning, rather than feeling perplexed I felt deeply comforted and peaceful. I don’t recall many of the words she uttered to me in my sleep but I do feel a great sense of warmth and a feeling of relief that she is content on the other side. She no longer carries the chains of the physical limitations she endured with her illness and, finally, she truly feels fine.
Have you ever received messages in your dreams?
polysyllabic profundities 
That’s a great reassurance, wherever it came from!
I rarely remember my dreams.
She looked beautiful….even had her favorite shade of red lipstick on.
I’m like you…..colorful, vivid dreams that I remember well. The dreams seem so real and it is comforting to be able to ‘share’ those moments with someone loved, and lost. Wishing you many more warm, peaceful dreams of comfort.
Thank you….that dream certainly improved my mood.
Sadly I rarely seem to be able to hold onto my dreams once I awaken. They seem to dissipate so quickly.
I used to keep a notebook by my bed so I could write down as much as possible before it was gone. I don’t have to do that as much any more since they seem to linger.
I generally forget most details by the time my feet hit the floor, or the details become skewed.
I dream every night. If I am stressed I start dreaming about tornadoes a lot. I dream about people I no longer communicate with when I spent the day missing them. I dream often about solutions to situations. If I have been searching for something I will find it in my dream and 8 times out of 10 that is where it really is. Most of the time though I dream of those I love getting hurt (kidnapped, ran over by a car, train, a slew of horses).
I often say I live a million different lives inside my dreams.
I often think I dream about past lives as well, so your last statement could be completely accurate!
What a beautiful thing, and something I completely believe is a connection with loved ones looking in on us to make sure we’re ok. My father, who passed away almost 10 years ago, appears in dreams from time to time, usually when I’m struggling with something. My dreams are generally very elusive and rarely remembered. My dreams with him are always clear and comforting, and I usually awaken with a sense of direction. No doubt, your Mom was checking in on you to let you know she’s ok — and wants you to be, also 😉
Parents, huh?
Thankfully they never stop being parents. 😉 I’m glad you still have a connection with your dad. I dream about my dad from time to time as well, but no dream has ever been as clear as this one.
That’s a beautiful thing, Susan 😉
yes
My grandparents died in 2005 and 2006 and they speak to me from time to time through dreams and subconscious. My wife has taught me how to recognize this.
Another reason your wife is so wonderful. It’s amazing what we can hear when we really listen. (ooh, may have to write a post about that!)
I have very vivid dreams and occasionally have a conversation with my deceased father. I love those dreams! 😉
PS I love that song by the Mama’s and the Papa’s as well 😀
It’s comforting to know we can still talk to them. I was actually going to title this “Dream a little Dream of Me”, but I had used that title on a blog post last year – go figure!
I’ve found my dreams to be misleading at times. I can’t recall ever receiving a profound message or anything like that.
But I’m certainly glad to hear that you had this comforting dream!
I’m happy the ones I remember so clearly are always positive.
