I Dream Of Dead People

What freaks me out the most is minding my own business and dreaming a perfectly fine dream and then during the dream I realize the people I dream about are dead.  It happens the same every time.  I am either having a conversation with the dead person or see them or something — and then it’s almost like I hear scary music and I realize they are all dead and I hear myself say — “Oh My God THEY ARE ALL DEAD!!!!!”

 This time in my dream I was standing in my Nanna’s home.  My Nonna Anne was sitting in the chair in front of the window.  My son was trying to unwind some string.  I was trying to help him.  Nonna fussed at me for some reason, I am not sure why.  She was also trimming her hair while she was talking to me.  It was odd.  And I realized — holy shit you died in 1995, and it’s 2007.  I felt uncomfortable so I stepped out onto the deck.

Out on the deck were my two grandfathers and two great grandfathers, and one step grandfather.  They are all dead except the step.  We all talked and laughed.  And I did a double take and said — “Jesus you are all dead”  They were like “Yeah and?”

My parents were there — and I was worried they were dead.  They assured me they were not.  So I went back into the house back to the back bedroom and saw my greatgrandmother back there, she spoke to me as well. 

Nanna wasn’t there, and neither was my stepgrandfathers companion — this is where things get complicated.  Nanna was married to my stepgrandfather for 40 years.  She died.  A year later my step began a relationship with my former spouses mother.  Made things sticky for a long time.  She died in April of this year.

I woke up feeling bizarre.  I still do.

    I’m not surprised you feel weird. Try to focus on your nice memories of the people you dreamt about… then it will be a good thing that your subconscious reminded you to think about them today.

    I dream about dead people to, in fact there is one person that when I dream about them and wake up I think they should be there, too – which is absurd because they’ve been gone longer than they lived.

    I have been concerned about dreaming of dead family members on a regular basis. Especially my grandmother, who I called Mommy, and who raised me. I was with her when she died, but she left before completing some personal business and I fear this is why I dream of her so often. In my dreams I have feelings of being very angry at her and of not being loved by her. In some of the dreams she has harsh words for me and is mean to me. I have also dreamed of my deceased Mother and recently my grandfather. There are always numerous other dead people in the dream, and sometimes there is no one who is actually living in the dreams except me. Has anyone had a similar experience?
