Is it normal to dream, EVERY NIGHT, of a deceased loved one? (SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY)?


Question:
My grandmother just passed away about a week and a half ago, and ever since her funeral last Monday, it never fails that every night I dream about her. It is making me crazy because I was very, VERY close to her, and in almost every dream she is waking up from the coma she was in before she died and is talking. Am I losing my mind?

Answers:
You are probably missing her very much, and sometimes strange things happen when we loose someone , maybe you feel some kind of guilt, think about it,like maybe you felt you did not get to see her enough, and maybe according to your dreams, she is trying to tell you something, that's why you see her waking from a coma, and she probably does not want to see you suffering. Talk to her and see what happens, in the mean time, sometimes they need prayers, i have found it helped, she would not want her death to hinder your life in anyway. take care, and keep busy, volunteer at a nursing home, ect.

Other Answers:
i think it's normal, i dream about certain things when i have them in the back of my mind, i think your subconscious kicks in and that's why you're dreaming of her, you're fine

No. You're grieving. Its a normal process. No you are not.. i think its just because you were close to her that you think about her even when you are sleeping. You are trying to recall the memories you two have shared and that makes you dream of her all the time.


Your probably still in shock over her death. In time it will ease. Why not just enjoy these dreams and try and find some comfort from them. I'm sorry for your loss.


You tend to dream what is strongest within your subconscious mind. you are not experiencing an abnormality. There ARE ways to CONTROL your dreams!

iti s normal


my mom's mom (my grandmother) passed away on March 22, 2006 and my b-day was march 26, 2006 and my moms b-day was march 19, 2006.

SAD :(

maybe you think about her before you sleep and remember she is no longer your grandmother,the devil can use her to bring her to you in your dream, it can be real seeing her too. Well, as a phychologist, I would say it is normal for the period that you are experiencing. Most "dreams" of lost ones can stay on forever, or so you think. The "dreams" varies from person to person, and from the degree of afection. In your particular case, it is very normal. And it is also normal that the action repeats itself every night.
Here is a chart to help you:
deceased family memeber: 2 weeks - 8 weeks of frequent dreaming, up to 5 years of occasional dreaming
deceased friend(close): 1 week to 2 weeks, up to a year of occasional dreaming
deceased friend: 0 days - 3 days, up to a week of occasional dreaming
deceased person (unknown, on TV i.e) 0 days (most likely)- 4 days (VERY RARE), up to a week,(very, very rare, but happened before)
etc.
note: if the dreams continue after the max periode, consult medical help.


no your not losing your mind. its normal it is her trying to talk to you maybe comfort you because you were soo close just be happy that u can see her in your dreams. she must have loved you alot to visit you every night. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. You must be in so much pain. Almost anything is "normal" this close to the death of a loved one. It will get better, I promise.

If, in a few months, you still feel sad most of the time, or lose interest in stuff that used to be fun - call a psychologist. Do the same if at any point you start to have thoughts about hurting yourself or if the dreams affect your sleep to the point that you have trouble functioning during the daytime.

May God bless your healing, and bring peace to your heart. You are NOT losing your mind. If you feel like you didn't get closure, this can be a way of your mind giving you that closure. It's very normal. Don't let it make you crazy, just look at it as a gift and see what you can learn from your dreams. What we don't deal with in the daytime when we are awake, our minds will deal with at night in our dreams.
