Dream interpretation?
My step father passed away just before Christmas and I keep on having reoccuring dreams where he is at home doing normal everyday thing like watching tv, coming home from work and talking to me, I know that he is dead in my dreams and I want to ask him why he is here because I know that is dead but I'm too scared to ask him.
Wat does this mean? I have never had dreams like this before as I have never know anyone die before
Answer:
You dream about him because you miss him. The fact that he's doing normal, everyday things just emphasizes that point.
The fact that you know he is dead, but you're afraid to ask him is a symptom of your fear and uncertainty regarding death. You've never dealt with this before.
You can't stop your dreams any more than you can decide what to dream about. I wish I could make myself dream about friends who are gone--it would be like seeing them again. These dreams will end eventually, so enjoy them while they last.
It's normal to dream about people you know/knew. Your dream doesn't actually mean anything, it's just your brain having a bit of "me" time while you're asleep.
The dreams are normal in the course of the grieving process. They should subside by the end of this year. The fact that you are having these dreams suggests you loved your father and are bereaved by his passing.
I would take this dream as a sign from your stepfather letting you know he is still around you all the time and for him nothing has changed ! You can`t see him but he is always around you and the rest of his family .. My father passed in 1994 and i love it when i see him in my dreams , its so comforting at times .
Good Luck x
It sounds like there is an unresolved issue between you and your stepfather. If you are looking for a suggestion to cope with this, try writing a letter to your step father and tell him how you really feel about him. The process of writing the letter will help you organize your thoughts about him.
Losing someone can be confusing and each person's brain handles grief a bit differently.
Maybe if you ask him why he's still here in your dream he'll tell you. It may be an answer you've subconsciencely wanted to hear and by hearing it will give you some closure.
Since he's doing normal things in your dreams, it sounds like you feel that you didn't spend enough quality, everyday time with him. Is that the case? Did you live far apart? Or were you too busy to hang out on a more regular basis? Maybe you feel some guilt over this.
Here's another angle. It also seems that you just want your life to be normal again, as it was before he died. I take it that his death shook your life to some degree and disrupted your sense of normalcy. Could you simply be yearning for some comfort? This is very normal, as a death in the family is shocking, even sometimes when it's expected.
You'll have to let time heal you and help you accept that he's gone. In the meantime, think about ways to honor him, such as donating to a charity in his memory or planting a tree in his name.
I m really sorry to hear about your dad. Normally this means that you havent greived properly.
I'm SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS..i LOST SOMEONE JUST THIS LAST TUES. ALSO...i UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH. tHE DREAMS ARE A FORM OF DEAL LING WITH THE GRIFF. IN ONE OF YOUR DREAMS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASK HIM WHY HE IS THERE, AND HE WILL ANSWER. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN TOO. IT WILL GET BETTER JUST HANG IN THERE...I CARE AND I'LL PRAY FOR YOU
You MISS your step Dad, and need to tell him in your next dream. He is NOT dead, but continuing without his body, which is in the grave. It seems that he misses you too. Talk to him so that he will know that you will be OK without him. You BOTH need to move on.
the suddenness and intensity of your lose is probably the catalyst for these dreams. dreams themselves have no hidden or prophetic meaning, but it does tell what is on your mind which in this case is your father. you probably still do not want to confront his passing and want normalcy. you asking why he is there is much like why he left or why did he have to go. you tension can also mean that though you'd like to know and confront his passing, you're reluctant to do this.
Time works a little bit differently from chronological (normal) time.
You can live your life through your memories (sort of) so use the opportunity of these dreams to get any guidance you need, there is no rush your can relive any moment in life you choose as many times as you want.
"I think(or dream) therefore I am".
Use it as a joyous learning experience with regards to space and time, good luck for next time.
