dream interpretation 101 understanding visitation dreams
The first time I encountered visitation dreams, I was in high school. A friend and I got into a discussion about out families, and he mentioned that he had a grandfather who passed away when he was younger. Surprisingly, he wasn’t as upset as he thought he would be. Instead, he said he knew that his grandfather had passed away before he found out. He told me of a dream he had, where his grandfather was in the dream. Although his grandfather didn’t say anything, my friend said that his presence felt very real, as if he came to say goodbye. As my friend woke up and talked with his parents, they also had the same dream. Later on, they received a call that the grandfather had passed away. Visitation dreams, like precognitive dreams, are inner level experiences. The dreamer’s attention moves into the subconscious mind during sleep, making subconscious observations and experiences much more possible. Not bound by space or time, the subconscious mind is a deeper part of mind where dreams come from, intuition lies, and experiences like visitation dreams can occur. When I interpreted dreams at dreamschool.org, we received many inquiries about whether or not visitation dreams were possible. Several of the dreams we received had qualities of visitation dreams. Particularly in the instance where loved ones are involved, recognizing visitation dreams when they arise can give peace of mind and verification that loved ones’ spirits have moved on and are doing well. Recognizing visitation dreams One of the key qualities to visitation dreams is the life-life quality of the dream itself. The dreams are often very vivid and rich with the tactile experience fonud in waking like. There was a woman who wrote into dreamschool.org with a visitation dream. While interacting with the dream she was experiencing, there was a moment when everything seemed to stop, and her mother who had passed away entered the dream. Her mother appeared exactly like she was when she was living, appearing in good health wearing the same clothes she wore when she was alive. Another quality of a visitation dream lies in its ability to captivate the attention of the dreamer. Whenever someone is choosing to visit another in the dream, they want to make sure that their message and presence comes across. In the case of the woman’s dream above, she described as everything stopping in the dream while the mother entered the dream. That type of change in the dream scene certainly captured her attention. Several people who experience visitation dreams also report that the presence of their loved ones are very pronounced and vibrant making it very easy for them to, at the very least, entertain the idea that their loved ones were indeed present. Finally, the telling factor in determining whether or not you’ve experienced a visitation dream or not is looking at the type of communication between you and the loved one in the dream. The communication usually involves telepathy or mind-to-mind communication or through feelings of love and peace of mind. One way to tell this is through observing whether or not the person’s lips and moving when they communicating. If they do, it’s most likely not a visitation dream. This is most likely an ordinary dream and should be interpreted as a message that reflects the dreamer’s conscious awareness. The existence of visitation dreams verify the strength and potential of the mind. As more people become invested in mind research and development, whether through dreams or consistent mental exercises, such as concentration and meditation, more of humanity’s capabilities and greatness will come forth.
