I dream of someone special that has passed.?

I often dream of someone who once was a huge part of my life. He passed away almost 4 years ago. I like dreaming of him because I feel I am still spending time with him. A couple of nights ago, I dreamed he was in the hospital very sick. I woke up feeling that he is not resting and I need to do something for him so he will finally rest. This may sound crazy, but it was such a strong feeling and I cant shake it. Anyone know what this means or what I am supposed to do? I have let go of this, although I think of him often and miss him very much. I am not a child. I am 58 years old.

    haweesay, The Lord says: he is still with you in spirit, and will stay with you till you pass over to be with him!

    Trust God, He loves you and has sent him back to be with you.

    Say this prayer out loud:

    "Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask You in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve You always." Amen

    Some things to ask yourself.

    Do you find the physical aspects of his memory fading, leaving only the emotional memories? What I mean is do you fear that you have trouble remembering his face or his eyes, but still remember how much you love him? If this is so, your subconscious may be alarmed to feel him slipping away. The problem is that revisiting photos or retelling stories of the person eventually replaces the real memories (that we cannot help but lose overtime) with something else. It is all that we have left at that point, and sometimes it seems like a bittersweet substitution. That causes us to feel guilt for not being able to hold on to what was left in our keeping.

    The other possibility is that you have made progress in moving on with your life. The role that this person held for you may now be fulfilled by others, or you are reaching a point where you can deal with the void that has not been filled. Your subconscious may finally be willing to let go of him. The fact that you are not letting go cleanly indicates guilt. You feel that somehow you are hurting his memory by where your life has taken you.

    Ask yourself if he would have wanted you to be happy. The answer is, of course, that he would have taken great joy in your happiness. Your guilt is the only thing that keeps him in the hospital bed, be prepared to accept the gift of his happiness the next time you see him in your dreams, and to share a moment of joy before you let him go. He will be vibrant and happy and will give his blessing to you in whatever you endeavor.

    Best of luck to you.

    I was once advised by a clairvoyent that dreaming of someone you loved or cared and lost for means they cannot visit you in life so when you sleep and your soul is at rest that is the only time they can come and visit you. Im not to sure what to do about the part of yourself feeling they are in destress though?

    I had a very good friend of mine pass away and i didnt see them for awhile and then suddenly there were gone and i will occasionally dream of them, i tend to think of it as them coming into my life when they can.

    Im sorry you have lost and i hope someone will be able to help you further.

    I'm sorry to hear about your loss, having someone pass away can bring so many problems sometimes...dreams...thoughts...all some what the same when it comes down to it in the end, I'm in the same boat as you almost, I think and dream about someone so much that i can hardly do anything, i can't sleep, i can't eat, i can't do any of the old things i used to love doing because i think of this person so much, but i know how you feel, when you dream and think about them, its a feeling that you NEVER want to go away because it makes you so happy, but at the same time you worry about what might happen if you ignore major things in life because you drift away in thought, my advice to you is, you should talk to someone about this person, it helps to talk, even if the person you're talking to didn't know this person that moved on, it helps to talk about how you felt about this person when they were alive, it will make you both happy and sad, but i think in the end you'll feel better after talking about it.

    Best of luck my friend.
