Why We Dream of Loved Ones
Most people dream regularly, but dreaming of a loved one who has passed away often feels more powerful and emotional.
These dreams tend to stay with us, especially when we’re still healing from loss.
Experts explain that such dreams often appear during life transitions, like major changes or new responsibilities.
During these times, the mind may bring familiar faces into dreams to help us process feelings we haven’t fully faced.
The emotions these dreams leave behind—comfort, confusion, or sadness—can offer insight into what the mind is working through.
Some interpretations suggest they reflect unresolved emotions or memories we need to revisit.
Others see them symbolically, where the person represents qualities or lessons we need in the present, such as strength during a difficult moment.
Many people also view these dreams as spiritual “visits” that offer clarity or peace.
Whatever the interpretation, they often remind us that meaningful connections continue to influence us long after someone is gone.
