<p>I used to have dreams quite a bit about my father, more recently about one of my good friends Kevin. At first the dreams about my father were me "chasing" him at the hospital he worked at. He would be just getting on an elevator and I couldn't get to it in time. Or just rounding a corner and I would race to that spot and not be able to see him. The most vivid one I had - was that I was in something like the amazing race.. And I was tired near the top of a mountain in Hawaii that we climbed…</p>

The most vivid one I had - was that I was in something like the amazing race.. And I was tired near the top of a mountain in Hawaii that we climbed together. I was really tired near the top (its a part in real life - that I got scared and wanted to go back down but with his help I made it the rest of the way) and dad came out of no where holding out his hand telling me that he would help me. Pull me to the top and I told him that I didn't need his help, I needed to do it on my own now. Since then the dreams of my dad only show up when I am having a rough time in life</p> Hi Maura, I'm so sorry you dr…tag:www.onlinegriefsupport.com,2012-05-24:2054931:Comment:1125452012-05-24T14:35:33.931ZDebra Wickhttp://www.onlinegriefsupport.com/profile/DebraWick
<p>Hi Maura, I'm so sorry you dreamt you were arguing! It's hard enough to keep the bad times from popping into my head as it is, without reliving them at night!! <3</p>

<p>Hi Michael, your dreams certainly seem symbolic, don't they? She seems to be what you need her to be -- first, healthy and okay, doesn't need anything; then the kiss, you needed that. And now... her back is to you. Could she be saying, please try to heal? "I'm still here but you need to not need me as much?" That's what it sounds like to me. I hate dreaming of Bob, in any form. If things are normal, I wake up crying, if they are not normal, I wake up crying. The worst dream I had was when I…</p>

If things are normal, I wake up crying, if they are not normal, I wake up crying. The worst dream I had was when I dreamt that the whole thing was a dream, and that he wasn't really gone. That dream stayed with me for days and I still cry now, just as I'm typing this. For the first two months after he passed, I took a half Xanex so I could fall asleep and stay asleep. But that didn't take away the dreams. Now I don't take anything for sleep. Do you talk with her? She seems to be trying to help you.</p> I had been only hoping to see…tag:www.onlinegriefsupport.com,2012-05-22:2054931:Comment:1120802012-05-22T23:55:50.235ZMaura Simmshttp://www.onlinegriefsupport.com/profile/MauraSimms

Denise came to me in a dream shortly after she passed. She showed me that she no longer needed the implant for her chemo or for drawing blood. I think she was trying to comfort me. Then a few weeks later she appeared in my dream and we kissed. I woke up and cried and cried. I still cry. Denise last came to me in a dream a few months ago and she had her back to me. I miss my baby so much

My father passed away 3 months ago and my mom always dreams of him & she says they all have been good and comforting. I am yet to have a dream of him but whenever I have a really rough day I ask him to visit me in my dreams...still waiting.

Hello Annette. I lost my mom 2 years ago and I still dream about her. The dreams are so vivid. For the first year or so, it almost felt like when i was sleeping and dreaming about her, like everything was the way it's supposed to be, and then when I would wake up, I remembered that she's gone, and I have to face reality. But now when I dream about her, I think of it as her way of letting me know that she's ok. Sometimes I dream about her when I've had a bad day or I am stressed out, and I think…

Yes I too dream about my parents my dad died feb 18, 2005 & Mom August 17,2009. I feel that by dreaming about them my mind is trying to work through my grief. Sometimes things are too painful and we sorta shut down and this is how are minds work.<br />

God Bless<br />

I have always believed that those we lose are still with us. After I lost my Dad last year, I expected to have dreams of him, but have only had one. Just six weeks ago I lost my finace, my best friend and his son has dreamed of him, but I have not been able to yet. They say that sometimes our grief gets in the way of them coming to us. I also know that some medications perscribed to the grieving can interfere, but I have had to have something for the anxiety of this loss.

Wow, interesting. It truly is a bittersweet occurrence. I get to see Dad, and yet I'm scared of him and it just reminds me of him. The only true getaway I had for a while was sleep, but even that is not a guaranteed path to temporary forgetfulness! I am so sorry for each of you who have responded, and what you had to go through. I have talked with people who lost loved ones unexpectedly, and those who lost them after a longer process, like myself. Neither one is less painful. I wait for the day…

I wait for the day when I can have a happy, clear dream where I know Dad is okay and I can have hope.
