What does it mean if you dream that you brought someone back from the dead?

Last night I dreamt that I had the power to heal and that I brought my Grandma back from the dead. She actually died early this year! It was influenced by that tv show "Heroes" currently my favourite. But does it have any deeper relevance?

    I suppose at a basic level it means you miss your Grandma very much. On a deeper level it could signify that you feel helpless in losing her, and wish somehow that you could have the power to bring her back.

    Watching Heroes could have an influence but I think it is more to do with how you feel about your Grandma, in wishing that she were still alive, and that you could be the one to make that happen. Like I said, you obviously miss her a great deal.

    Sometimes dreams are the mind's way of playing out what you wish could happen but unfortunately, on waking, you realise that they are just that - dreams.

    Cherish the dream though, for it surely was a nice one.

    Cherish your memories also, as your Grandma will live on through them. I am sorry for your loss.

    It sounds like the experience was very profound and meaningful to you. Did you enjoy the power to heal? You may want to explore Reiki - a healing energy that can be directed to help people. Look it up. Once you are a reiki practitioner, it is possible to connect with wpirits and that is a very satisfying aspect of it.

    It could be that subconsciously, you feel very powerful, and that you can make things happen,

    When you dream of having 'superpowers' it's usually a person who, inside feels they can cope with anything.

    That you miss your grandmother. You would like to see her again. I miss mine too. It doesn't mean you can actually bring her back. It means you wish you could. You will see her in heaven. Sorry about your loss.

    It means that whilst you were asleep, you had a dream. Nothing more, nothing less.

    It just means that you were definitely asleep.
