Do you believe the dead can communicate with the living through dreams?

i think so.  of course i also don't consider them to be dead.  i consider them to be alive on another level of existence.  i also sometimes think that those communicating with us might not be them, but a higher spiritual entity communicating to us through the image of that loved one because it's someone we'll recognize and pay attention to as opposed to some strange person that we don't recognize at all.  who knows.

I once had a weird dream where I died in the dream, floated in a white void, spinning and thinking of my life that just ended and suddenly I found I was standing in a beautiful meddow near a wooden fence and a lone apple tree. In the distance I could make out the forms of people but they were too far away to see who they were. Far away I heard a faint humming sound getting louder and louder, and I noticed a small swirling, glowing mist coming twords me till it was circuling around my head, humming and swirling; In the mist I saw dozens of tiny silvery dots of glowing lights and suddenly they were flying through me and as each one went through me I was calling out their names: Blacky, Snowball, Bobbie, Spankie, Lilly, JJ, Misty etc. These dots of silver white were no bigger then a pea yet I knew instinctivly what they were, they were all the pets I ever had through out my entire life. I was filled with such love at that moment, as they became a part of me, it was as if we were one big happy family again. As I was standing there with my arms out streatched, laughing and crying with joy, I heard my name being called. Looking around, I noticed the people I saw eailer coming closer, as they got closer and closer, I began to recognize them.It was my Dad and my Grandma, and Grandpa, my Uncle John, my Aunt Margie and so on and so on, all of my loved ones who have passed on. Running twords them with my arms out stretched and tears runnung down my face, I suddenly woke up! Wow, what a dream! Now, thinking back to that dream, I would hope it wasn't just a dream, I would hope it was a glimps into my future afterlife!      P.S. My spelling stinks and the (check spelling) is off again, so bere with me!

Yes, sometimes!   The detailed dreams are called lucid dreams. You should research it on the internet.

no \nEcclesiastes, chapter 9\n5: For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward; but the memory of them is lost. \nas you read there the dead knows nothing so there is no such thing as a ghost, but there are demons. and they can take on many forms

Hi! Yes, I do. The past, present and future exist inter-dimensionally and your "knowing" is a form of energy that descends upon you from SPIRIT. This energy is filtered by your conscious and subconscious mind. We interpret this energy in various ways and it works itself into our "dreams". I'm glad you listen to you "dreams" and your intuition. I always say : Awareness is the first step.

Very likely. Dreams are a window straight into your sub-concious so depending on the question, you may well receive an answer to something...

this can mean several things, it could be that they are wacthing over you so offereing you some comfort or support, could be that you are thinking about issues in your past good or bad\n\nDead\n\nTo see the dead in your dream, forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd.  You may suffer material loss. This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on.\n\nIf you dream of a person who has died a long time ago, then it suggests that a current situation or relationship in you life resembles the quality of that deceased person. The dream may depict how you need to let this situation or relationship die and end it.\n\nTo see and talk with your dead parents in your dreams, represents your fears of losing them or your way of coping with the loss. You may want that last opportunity to say your final good-byes to them.\n\nTo see your dead sibling, relative, or friend alive in your dream, indicates that you miss them and are trying to relive your old experiences you had with them. In trying to keep up with the pace of your daily waking life, you dreams may serve as your only outlet in coping and coming to terms with the loss of a loved one.

I don't believe in individual people having individual souls.... \n\nBut to some extent I do believe that via some proxy, the breach of the conscious / subconscious divide in the dreamscape can in fact be spread across the boundary between people as well. \n\nI mean.. do you think computers have souls in order to send data via the Internet? ...

i think that judging by your question you already believe that dreams can be interpreted and are looking for an interpreter to give you meaning behind the dream you had... i would have some questions though - \n1. how clear was the dream... was it clear and do you have a notion that it might come from God\n2. did you get confermation that this dream was from God... When God speaks to you it can be threw many different sources... the bible, a serman, the radio - but usually they are all confermed some way or another\n3. how would God be GLORIFIED therw this dream... God will not give you a dream unles there is a reason... what might this reason be?\n4. how many dreams have you recieved? maybe there are a series of dreams you might need the others to figure this one out? \n\nIn the bible it says "Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions." refering to the end times... I believe that we are already in those times now- so that would be relevent to any biased bleiefs on dreaming dreams...\n\nI am no interpreter however- i believe that GOD is the best interpreter and NOT MAN... you see, if you really read the bible you will knotice that Christians didn't need interpreters, only non-christians... Did Joseph(Joseph's Ladder) ask for an interpretation outside of God? but non-believers asked Christians for the interpretation... thats because God speaks to us directly...\n\nI think that you should FIRST pray about this for a while and ask God himself to reveal the interpretation of your dream... don't ask men unless you feel that God is leading someone to tell you - using the gifts of the spirit - depending on your faith...\n\nthank you

You can't communicate with spirits because they don't exist. Neither do ghosts. You can, however, convince yourself that you do, in which case talking to them could be easy.

Sounds almost like a plot from the movie "They Live". \n\nDreams can be so abstract yet seem so real at times.  I have vivid dreams at times and they stay with me at times long after I wake up.  Sometimes dreams are just reflection of our Id...our inner psyche...they some time reflect our emotions and our deep inner thoughts.  Sometimes I like it when I have weird dreams...it helps me with my creativity.

I dream of people that have passed away all the time. I have even seen my grandma standing at the foot of my bed watching me sleep. She had a bright light surronding her. It freaked me out. I have no clue what it is called, but i just want you to know that you are not alone.

Yes I believe in life after death, I also think reincarnation might exist.  I have seen ghosts.

E-mail, phone call, paper mail; anything. I'd love to find out what my mother was trying to say with her last murmurs. We could learn what the afterlife really is. Or were you thinking of time-travel, sending the e-mail back to when they were still alive?

I do believe in an afterlife, but assuming heaven did not exist, then, yes I believe humans would create a belief in one for comfort and expectation of a new life to come.  I could even go as far as to say the mind is a powerful thing, powerful enough to even create supposed proof of afterlife by communicating with departed souls.  But, if the mind is that powerful, enough to falsely prove life exists after this one, isn't that power enough to say something bigger is going on here.  It points to the path the soul does live on, in my opinion.

Annoying when responders can be too bloody literal, wouldn't you agree?\n\nI was walking last night looking up at the stars and wondering almost the same question, "Is this life a very long very detailed dream we'll someday wake out of?"\nI myself have incredibly vivid, sometimes wild and unbelievable dreams, and sometimes so real that it's a distinct relief when I wake from it. \nA friend and I have thought that some of the more fantastic "almost another world" sort of dreams are just that, our celestial bodies mingling with other realities and possibly other parallel planes of existance. \nOf course I can't prove any of that, it's my own personal experience, but it's real for me and therefore valid.\n\nI myself have experienced what Prof Beatz mentioned about not being able to make lights come on, and not being able to read things written on paper (though I have sometimes and I get the feeling if I could just remember what it said it would be very revealing).\n\nMatrix really spooked me because of my open-mindedness, but if it turns out I'm on some feeding tube of the worst stuff possible and still able to be this real in my mind, then I'll take contentment for the moment. \n\nKeep seeking your own answers....
