Mette from Fjellstrand, Norway writes:
My husband died ten years ago of cancer. I have only had a few dreams involving him since then, but recently I had a vivid dream about him that I can’t seem to forget. In the dream, he asked me to go with him into the garage, which was filled with bottles of water (it had been raining heavily for a few days in waking life, hence the bottles?). We sat down together on a crate containing bottled water. He looked very serious and said, “I have to tell you something.”
I answered, “Oh please don’t give me any bad news.”
Then the alarm clock went off, and I woke up. I had a feeling he was going to tell me something important, but the alarm disturbed him and woke me up. The dream felt very real. I saw his face clearly and somehow in the dream, I knew that he was dead and had come to me in a dream. It bothers me a lot that I never got to know what he was going to tell me.
Hello Mette,
I can understand your frustration. The alarm going off was bad timing indeed! Or perhaps it was the perfect timing if your husband was about to deliver a difficult message.
I can also understand why the interaction with him felt very real. Deceased loved ones often come to the living in dreams to offer messages of comfort (“I’m doing fine over here”), encouragement (“Don’t give up on your project”), forgiveness (“I understand now why you acted that way”) or love (“We’ll see each other again”). These dreams are actual visitations, not merely wishful thinking on the part of the dreamer.
Although I can’t tell you what your husband was about to say, perhaps these clues will help. The dream taking place in the garage may indicate some information about your health (automobiles often symbolize one’s body) or a journey you’re about to take. The bottled water may, as you suggested, be a reflection of the rain outside. Or perhaps you literally need to drink more fluids. The water might also symbolize your (or your husband’s) emotional state, as in being “bottled up” inside and needing to express something.
In any case, I fully expect you’ll hear from him again. To encourage another visitation dream, try meditating about your husband before going to sleep, and asking him to deliver the complete message in another dream. You can be sure he’ll hear you and provide an answer when you’re ready to receive it.

hi just wondering is my da around to look after us he passede away aweek ago wud der b a chance he wil appear to me so we can talk
I had a dream my brother-in-law/friend killed himself. We were all living at his moms at the time. It was a dream that wouldn’t let me go back to sleep. I waited till he got up and told him about it he said he was too young and good lookin to do that. This dream would not leave for a very long time. Well 2 weeks after my husband and I moved to our new place he hung himself. Why wouuld I have this dream and tell him, only to have him do it. For a couple of years after his step dad couldn’t deal , he was the only one home that night, and by all accounts should have heard him and didn’t There were 2 dogs there and didn’t hear them either. Well Claude kept comming to me in my dreams telling me to tell his dad he didn’t hear him because of the train, they lived across the highway from the tracks. At risk of dad thinkin me a nut, I told him. I don’t really know what dad thought he did stop drinking as much. Was this claude with a message for dad? I don’t know
My Mother comes to me and tells me when things are going to happen or when a baby is going to be born. She told me that my son was going to be a father.. That next morning I told him my mom came to me in a dream and told me something important and asked him if we could speak private. He said no anything she had to say just say it. Well I blurted out Your going to be a father. Well his girlfriend turned white. He looked at me in shock. The next words out of his mouth were well she is right we didn’t know how to tell you we found out 2 days ago.. She then came back and told me it was a girl. I asked them if they wanted to know the sex because she came again. they said they were going for the ultra sound so why not. I told them they were having a dark haired girl.. She was right agian.. Then she told me the business was going to fail it did. I lost everything. My home my life savings all gone from a charliton. I am hoping she comes to me and tells me I will be on my own 2 feet again. Maybe my anger is blocking her… Hoping to see her again soon.. what a wonder angle I have looking over me…

Hi,
I am only 13, but i really like this guy. All my friends tease me about liking him, but i can’t seem to get over him. He barely knows i exist.
So, I had this dream, and in it he and I were at a school that was like my elementary school, middle school, and the high school I will go to all mushed together. We were working together as a couple of student teachers, when suddenly everyone started screaming. So we were running up and down endless hallways, and then suddenly he left and I found my self outside. There was a huge tower, and you had to step on it at the exact correct moment to make it stay stairs, and it kept changing colors. There was one for girls, and one for guys. I climbed down my side, and followed him up to his side, where he ran up to me and began to kiss me.
Is this just wishful thinking on my part or does it mean something else entirely?
The dreams I have about my father’s relatives are very frightening. They were very mean spirited in life and it’s like they still want to abuse and torment me from beyond the grave. Does anyone know if this is the case?
Hi Mette – I use a method to learn more from a vivid dream it has been amazing.
Get in a comfortable position close eyes and just relax. Take a few deep breaths and run thru the dream a couple of times then decide what you want to know more about. Try to really feel yourself there. I usual feel an essence of the dream, it is an atmosphere. When you get to the part where the alarm goes off – change it so it doesn’t – and wait to see what happens or what he says. or you could say ” I’m sorry for the interruption – What did you want to tell me”?
Hope this will help you.

Hi, i had a dream, & in the dream i was getting married but didn’t see d groom, and i didn’t like the wedding dress that was given to me, so went out to look for another dress, but finally found one but already late for the wedding, so the wedding didn’t hold before i woke up.
Hi Cortney,
I had a weird dream a few nights ago. I was in Montreal (I just went over there for 5 days) staying with my father (who passed away a couple of years ago). He’d told me to go down the street to find this park (as I was looking for a park). I was walking into the park with my bike in hand. I overheard people talking and one guy was describing a woman he’d fallen in love who was married and I realised she was someone I had worked with in the past. So I butted in saying that that sounded like the person I knew (which it was) but the conversation turned to the type of work I had been doing (working large events Olympic Games etc) and how I now was thinking of leaving that behind me after 7 major events because of my last experience which was the worse one and in which politics and positioning by others made me feel like I couldn’t contribute and felt stifled. The guy quickly said that he found it hard to believe it couldn’t be great because he worked in Nagano (which was my first Olympics). I also worked there and had the greatest experience of my life so conveyed that to him and then my alarm clock sounded.
I’ve been trying to find some way to start a business that I could do from wherever I am in the world and work for myself from now on. I wonder if the dream might be telling me not to forget the event industry. Not sure. Any insights for me?
I lost my husband 6 years ago also with cancer, we never got to talk about our good byes for he passed only 5 weeks after finding out he had cancer, during those 5 weeks the last 2 weeks he was in a coma like state and words were never spoken. Now 6 years later I still have not had that TRUE breakdown and cried about him. Sure I cry and tear up to this day, but I feel like its bottled up and won’t come out. I don’t dream of him although I wish I could and see him again. Please tell me how to go about getting him to come to me, theres so much I’d like to say to him. He was and is the love of my life to this day and I really feel like I’ll never have a real relationship again until I do let go. Am I waiting for his approval or waiting to say its ok to let him go?
Thanks Minda in Georgia
