Dreams about deceased mother.

[CaitEK]

Hey there. I'm new. I'm trying to figure out if dreams I've had about my mother are of her trying to communicate with me or if it's just me dreaming about her. My mother passed away from ALS about 5 years ago.

I've had two very vivid dreams of her that I am trying to make sense of.

First dream about her: A week or two after she passed, I had a dream about her. I was walking out of my bedroom (which was down the hall from the kitchen) and as I walked into the kitchen, I saw my mother sitting in a kitchen chair. She was wearing a pink t-shirt and blue jeans (she liked to be casual) and she looked like her normal, healthy self. I knew I was dreaming. I was actually really surprised to see her, because I knew she was dead. I ran over to her and she said "I'm better now" and I woke up. I woke up feeling so happy and relieved.

Second dream: This dream happened this past December, a few weeks before Christmas. In the dream, I knew I was dreaming. I walked up to a house that was unfamiliar to me. As I walked into the house, the interior was decorated to celebrate Christmas. I saw my mom's best friend, Jill, and her family (which was odd to me because after my mom passed away, my Dad and Jill had a falling out and it caused a bit of strain between both families and we stop talking). Anways, so, I was surprised to be in Jill's house (I assumed it was Jill's house. She had moved in real life and I didn't know her new address) and see everyone after so many years. Then, I saw my Mom sitting on a couch. I was shocked to see her because I knew she was dead. This time, she was wearing a Christmas sweatshirt, something she would wear around Christmas time (her favorite holiday). She didn't say anything. She just smiled. Then, I looked out the window and noticed my sister and the rest of my family coming into the house. Then the dream ended. I woke up feeling like there was something I really needed to do, but I couldn't figure out what.

What was really odd about this second dream was that, after it happened and a week before Christmas, my sister and I were out shopping for gifts and we bumped into Jill's daughter who said we should definitely get together again since it's been so long. I don't know if the second dream and meeting Jill's daughter again was just a coincidence or if there was more to it.

I've had other dreams about my mom. They were very brief and she would appear as her normal, healthy self. She would just smile and not say anything. I am assuming these little dreams are probably nothing. However, my sister has had the same exact dreams about my mom, where she would just appear but not say anything.


Any ideas? Thanks!

I have an instinct telling me it's more than just another dream. I don't know, but I feel like it's her - it's just what I feel when I read about it.

It's that second dream. It is an intriguing one to me, particularly with the timing and how you bumped into those particular people.

Maybe it was a sign from your mother to say that it's all ok. She enjoyed those times with everybody together and wants you all to be open to patching things up and coming together again.

I don't know for sure, though. How could I? I just read your words and had that feeling...

She's content. She's healthy. Everybody else might as well be also.

Since my mother died I haven't had any Spirit contact with her or anything. But I had this one dream, where she was in her prime again, and looked pretty, and wearing a beautiful floral print cotton summer dress. (she forgot how to dress pretty like that in her older years)
I was aware in that dream that she had died, and was amazed to see her. But the dream ended quickly.
But it could have been her, using that visual symbolism to show me she was healed and OK.

CaitEK,

I just want to bring to your attention, that death really means that the person continues to exist but in the dream world environment, which is to say that if you were to lose your physical body right now, any person could locate you in the dream world in the same body which you were using when you were seeing your mother in those two dreams.

Some dreams are just our imagination gone wild, but some are really taking place in the astral (dream world). I feel that those two dreams were. Your mother was really there but she was in the dream body which she used while living in a physical form before.

Actually the most significant thing about those two dreams, is the fact that you had astral projected and became aware of it during the projection. Many of us do so and do not become objectively aware while we are having the experience, and for the most part we do not even remember the experience.
