I remember having dreams that Jay had died..when he was still alive. I would wake up crying and hugging him. Then after he died I would dream he was still alive and wake up looking for him next to me and he was gone. Dreaming was not something I ever wanted to do again. Although dreaming of him alive was great for the moment waking up to reality was like him dying all over again.

I had 2 dreams right after my husband first passed. Both dreams he was telling me he was ok. I misunderstood them at the time thinking he was telling me he was ok and coming back.. I figured out later what he was really telling me. Im so glad it happened..

I am glad to hear that you had your first dream of your husband. In the beginning of my loss I'd always dream that I was searching for my husband because I found out he was alive but I could never find him. This dreams got to me. I think I was dreaming that because at the time I was still in denial that my husband really passed away. I eventually start to have some good ones later. I hope you can have many more good dreams to come. Hugs!!!

I've had several dreams of my partner in our house that we shared so many memories and he said to me that he wasn't dead, but alive with and with me. These were vivid and and I can still recall the scene now.

I believe that our loved ones who has passed come to us to offer comfort and remind us that they are with us and have not ceased to exist.

Besides dreams, I have had many spiritual experiences where I sense his presence every time I go to sleep and also when I pray to him and my mother.

Well, I first started dreaming of Mike a few weeks after his death. Those dreams were of the funeral and he had already died. I don't remember a lot of them right now, because I would wake up and try really hard to hold onto them, but they would slowly begin to fade.
A few weeks ago, I had a dream sort of within a dream, where he was there, where we used to live, and I remember I knew he was dead and had to go and I was bawling my eyes out. I woke up....within the dream, because I was at my old place. I remember in that dream, someone (a tennant that I didn't even know) telling me that I was shaking. That was around the last few days of August. The most recent one was this past Monday morning. I dreamed that we were lying in bed together (no, not that kind of dream!), qand he said he loved me, and then, it was like I anticipated that he would say he had to go....like, I expected it. And, sure enough, he said, "I've gotta go." And then, he was gone. I woke up depressed. But I haven't had a dream where I was necessarily spooked....as yet. All mine have been sad.

Its been almost 3 months since my husband passed. I have not had a dream with him in it yet. I don't know why. It would be nice to have a dream of him. I've never really had dreams. I've woke up thinking he was next to me but when I realized he really wasnt there I couldn't stop crying. I wish I would dream him telling me everythings ok and him giving me a hug and kiss. God how I miss his embrace.
