I am not a church going woman.I was suicidal depressed over the loss of my daughter a few years ago.A friend talked me into going to church,thier preacher asked me what I would like to ask God for.I said "I just want to see my lil girl laugh and play" I never believed in laying hands on people or nothing my family called "holy Rollers"but that man gently touched my forehead and I hit the floor and had a visit from my daughter Amanda playing around a tree with a bunch of other lil angels (she was about 13 yrs old then she is 20 now died at 12 days)That was the day I KNEW God was real and that he still loved me and that he did not take my baby because he hated me for something He took her because she was PERFECT.And God needs perfection in Heaven.He now has 3 of my babies but he let me keep 3 so I guess we are even.2 of my babies are preparing for prom now(next weekend)And Amanda still visits me in my dreams all the time and I don't ever want to lose those dreams.She also messes with my TV and radios. I yell at her the same as I would the living 3.I think she likes that.LOL

I have had a few vivid dreams of my daughter since her death. I too take medications to sleep. I always wake up before I am able to tell her that I love her so I wake up crying each time.

I have had MANY dreams recently about my Mom who passed a bit over a year ago. I also dream of my Gram who died about 4 years ago, however in my dreams of my Gram, she is dead then kind of comes to life and talks to me and dies again. BUT, with my Mom, she is VERY much alive. At first she never spoke in my dreams to me and one of her last wishes was to take me shopping. In my latest dream with her, that's what we were doing, shopping. I've heard that when your loved one visits you in a dream, they are coming through to you. Whether this is true or not I'm not certain but I do like the thought of it. Take care and be well.

YES and no your not crazy..i had brain surgery 3 years ago..3 months before my sisters 24 year old son Christian died.. when i woke up from the 6 hr. surgery..i told my family that i talked to Christian.That in my dream..i was walking in a big open space and a huge group of people were walking towards me..Christian was in the front holding my baby boy that passed in 1995 with other family members..my dad and sis in law and other friends and family ..when i went to hug them..he said no,you can't cross the line,and when i looked down there was a glowing white line.,we love you all and want you to know we're all okay..and please tell my mom and dad i'm ok and not to be so said. a few minutes later 2 drs, came into my room and when i asked them what was wrong they said "nothing now ..you had problems in there with your heart but its ok now..i know thats not quite the same as yours, but i have group gatherings at my house once a week for parents that have lost children..and it does happen we call it "a sign" from them letting us know there ok and still with us...and it's also their way of helping us and giving us some peace.i'm sure you'll get other signs too..

after my fiance passed away i had a dream that he woke up in the hospital while i was sitting next to his bed. i was trying to prevent him from getting up since he had iv's in, and i asked him is he was ok and touched his face. he sat up and looked at me and told he he was ok and kissed me. i believe that was his way of letting me now he is ok and not to worry about his soul. when i said goodbye to him before he passed, i asked him to visit me in my dreams. its the only time he has, but it was very real to me and i took it as a sign. it also brought me peace. dont think you are losing your mind, we all experience things with our loved one in different ways.

I lost my dad 4 months ago..H ehas cam to me in my dreams and talked to me..I was feeling so low that I had even contenplated (sp) suicide because I just didn't think I could go on, I miss him so much..He was my best friend..I think he comes to me just to let me know that he is okay and to try and get on with my life..

Yes,-i did a posting on this too about 4-5 weeks ago. I had that type dream about my dad who passed away several months ago & ever since i have felt much better. Nothing can completly take the pain away but i feel more of a "peace". I'm glad for you & hope it's helped you at least a little.
