When you dream of people that you never met,in your opinion could they be dead people from the past?

Most of my dreams are of people I've never met and places I've never been.\nOne thought is that these people are real and they are interacting with one of my 12 (or 144 depending on who you read) soul extensions and I'm tapping into one of those soul extension's lives for the dream.\nAnother thought is that I am a writer and extremely creative so even my dreams are unique.\nMy therapist says every person in a dream is an aspect of the dreamer. So if there's a tall thin black sharp-shooting army woman in my dream, it's up to me to figure out what she represents in my personality.

If you mean that you believe that you have been visited by someone who has passed over, then yes it is possible that they are around you in spirit, especially loved ones.\nMany who pass from this physical world cannot leave the realms of this dimention for many reasons and can be trying to tell you this.

i vaguely remember a dream about my irish great grandmother, who had just died, and whom i barely knew (i would have been about 5), coming to get me out of bed and wanting to take me somewhere.  i remember she was happy and smiling, but i was terrified.   i also vaguely remember that she wanted to take me to where the dead people go.  and i remember being worried as hell that she was going to take me to meet the devil, a picture of whom i had seen in that "The Children's Bible."  That picture, of the devil trying to tempt Jesus off of the mountain top, well, the image haunted me for years, in and out of my early childhood dreams.\n\nnow, i am an entrepreneur, sort of a real estate investor.  i buy and manage mostly foreclosures.  these are usually vacated properties, so, i am always coming across abandoned stuff (i never go to yard sales or flea markets, anymore...)\n\nAt one such property, I found a copy of that Children's Bible, and there it was - that picture of a big red Lucifer.  Doesn't seem so horrifying now.  Not even that big, really.  Probably cause I don't really feel, anymore, the presence of any Satan in the Universe.  (I remember, now as I am thinking of it, I also used to get nightmares featuring the Jesus i saw painted in those very same pages.  A very scary book, really.  Christianity is so scary, y'know?)  \n\nNo, don't really feel or fear Lucifer anymore.  Now, Coyote, there is a REAL trickster, who's always on hand and ready to offer a lesson...

I dont think theres anything "wrong" with you. You were in a relationship with someone who had a very strong impact on your life, and his life ended in a traumatic way for those who are living to deal with. The fact that you project in your dreams the wish that he was still alive is not necesarily anything out of the ordinary. Although some time has passed it doesnt mean that the person will ever necesarily drop out of your life altogether. Even once you have "moved on" he will still come up from time to time. Try and remember the best of what you two shared together, but also try and experience different oppertunites and allow new people to enter into your world.

I believe in ghosts, only because I had an encounter with one.   I woke up in the middle of the night once, to feel someone sitting down on the edge of my bed.  There was NO ONE there, but there was something moving, and putting pressure on my bed.  I also felt as though I was not alone in my room, even though the door was closed and locked from the inside.  I closed my eyes and I either fainted or fell back to sleep- but I know I wasn't dreaming.  When I woke it was gone.

Yes, all the time!\n\nboth my mother and father have died. My father in 2000 and my mother in 2004.\n\nI am very grateful for these dreams as I feel that I get to see them again and be with them again.\n\nalthough, sometimes a dream can make me feel very sad and disturbed like if my father keeps falling down or the ground below him gives away.

Some people believe in "past lives"-- reincarnation.  They believe people have soul mates and that many people in our CURRENT life is someone from their past... we died, then came back in a different body but with the same basic soul.  We're supposed to "come back" to right our past wrongs or learn something that we are supposed to know before we can 'move on'... basically, the mistakes we make, we should learn from; other people around us are our teachers or students--these can also be our 'soul' mates, doesn't necessarily mean a lover.  (If you really feel your instinct, it tells you what to do--that's your guide... )

I was told I was very spiritual in several of them.  I can't see it myself but I had a reading done by some VERY skilled people.\n\nIt's kind of cool to see what you once were-even though it has no bearing on what you're doing now.  Sometimes it can explain why you feel a certain way when you have no good reason for it.\n\nOh, yeah, be careful who you talk to about this because (as you can see by certain answers) some get pretty rude.\n\nI'd be wary of those who tell you that you were some famous person in a past life.  What are the chances of that?  It may be possible but certainly not likely.  None of my readings were of a famous person-I was just an ordinary person who never made the history books. :)

Two that stand out in my mind are: \n\n1.  I woke up at dawn at the exact time (or around the time, anyway) my grandfather passed and I knew something was wrong. He lived in another city and was not sick at the time. In fact, he was fairly young when he died. \n\n2. I had an old friend appear in a dream earlier this year that I hadn't seen or really thought of much in years. He kept on appearing to me in dreams regularly over a two week period. It was driving me crazy so, I decided to look him up and found out that he had passed away only a few weeks prior to the start of my dreams. \n\nCall it what you will...psychic or a sixth sense, but many people have this ability to perceive things beyond the obvious. My mother has an even uncannier sixth sense about her. Sometimes it runs in families. Those that are involved in the psychic community will probably tell you to nurture this ability. I sometimes wonder if that door should just be left shut. Dabbling in the occult has always scared me.

I suppose that depends on what you personally believe in.  I was taught how to send other people back to their past lives a long time ago.  People I have sent say that I am really good at it.  I have been sent before,  but I have too much trouble letting go of my current life to experience my past lives fully.  It is possible that all those I have sent merely imagined past lives.  Only the gods can truly know.

I heard tha when you dream someone dies, you have unresolved issues with them, like a fight or some kind of problem.

i'm not sure about your past life, but if you want to find out your spirit guide, just ask to be told..ask before you go to sleep..ask for it to be in your dream...or go to a quiet place and ask to see your guide..if you believe it'll happen..good luck.

I have dreams that are SO realistic about being in Nazi germany during the worst of it..(I have no members of my family that were there).I also speak foreign languages in my sleep that my husband says are very clear, but he doesn't recognize the language.(We both know some German, though).. (One of the other lives I think I've had is in Cleopatra or Nefertiti's time.)

I don't know, sometimes that happens with my mom and myself. Like a very vivid dream that makes no sense until a while (sometimes a very long while) later it happens and seems totally normal until you get this rush of deja vou. Or a stream of thoughts that doesn't seem to make any sense, sometimes even about ppl you have yet to meet, you dismiss atthe time, then you have it again later just in daily life and it is like, whoa, that was weird.

Some of my dreams involve random people i haven't seen in years, or that i never want to see again.  Dreams can be very confusing, not all psychologists can figure them out.  Don't worry about it unless she starts getting very flirty with him.

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.
