Not sure what forum to post this under.....
Do any of your friends or loved ones who have passed on, appear to you in your dreams? And if they do.......do you wake up wondering if they're trying to tell you something, and just what exactly the message is, if it wasn't clear in the dream?
This has happened to me before.....my dad, who passed away many years ago, pops into my dreams now and then. But last night my brother-in-law who passed away almost exactly a year ago was in my dream.......asking about how my husband (his brother) was doing, and then telling me we needed to go to the auto parts store to pick up a part for BIL's car.........which would be very typical of him.
I could take it as he was on my mind since it's almost exactly a year since his passing, and he was much loved by everyone who knew him. But I'd rather think it was his spirit just coming to check in with us.

Once in awhile I'll have a dream about Mamaw...I realize that when my life is ontrack and I'm really happy, I don't dream about her...when I am having problems or sad, that's when I dream of her...not surprising.

I think it's more than something embedded in our unconscious mind. I truly think there is something more. Dreams are one of the tools we've been given through which to communicate, purge, think through and solve problems, find meaning, etc. One time I had a dream where my mom (still living) called my name. It was so clear and REAL. Come to find out, she had been praying for a particular problem I was having at that time. When I told her about it, and she shared she was praying for me, it caused her to recall a time when she heard her mom's name in her early married days. Behind her dream, she thinks, was the fact that a neighbor (a friend of my grandmother) was being murdered... right across the street from my mom. I can't remember if my grandmother lived with her at the time, or what the connection was, but Mother made it seem logical that she heard my grandmother call her name in her dream. I've had other "coincidences," if you will. Too many to write them off.
