Dreams of Deceased Loved Ones: Do They Carry a Special Message?

In a blog post, McNamara shared his personal experience of having a visitation dream after his parents’ passing. This dream led him to contemplate the idea that visitation dreams might be a sign of life after death. As someone who approached dreams with a scientific mindset, his conviction in the significance of these dreams was even stronger. If he, a skeptic, could feel such a strong connection with his deceased parents through a dream, imagine the impact it might have on others.

McNamara is not the only one intrigued by the phenomenon of visitation dreams. Many studies have delved into this topic, seeking to understand the impact of these dreams on the bereaved. One study published in the American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care found that dreams of the deceased occur frequently, can be highly meaningful, and contribute to healing from the loss. The dreams often revolve around memories or experiences, the deceased appearing healthy and at peace in the afterlife, and even conveying messages.

Another research conducted by Canadian psychologists focused on 76 individuals who had recently experienced loss. The findings revealed that a majority of the participants found comfort and a stronger belief in an afterlife through dreams of the deceased. These dreams were often described as visitations, providing a sense of connection and solace.

Psychologist Jennifer E. Shorter has also explored the relationship between dreams and grieving individuals. In her study, she identified four key characteristics of a visitation dream. Firstly, the deceased appears as they did in life, often healthier and younger. Secondly, they may communicate their current state – assuring the dreamer that they are fine. Thirdly, the messages in these dreams are communicated telepathically rather than in physical form. Lastly, these dreams are often calm, harmonious, and well-organized.

It’s important to note that the prevalence of visitation dreams is still unknown, and they can occur shortly after or long after the person’s passing.
