My mother used to tell me, that when a loved one visted you in a dream. That person has actually made contact with you.
If that is true, I think it's pretty cool.

My Mom died almost 4 months ago. I miss her horribly. I haven't had dreams about her, but I read how those types of dreams can be part of the greiving process. I was comforted to learn many of the things I have been experiencing were a"normal" part of the whole process. I'm going to paste some info about the grieving process because it is said better than I can say it...
"The Grieving Process
The word “process” does not imply that grief has any fixed schedule or program. Grief reactions can overlap and take varying lengths of time, depending on the individual. This list is not complete. Other reactions may also be manifested. The following are some of the symptoms of grief that one might experience.
Early reactions: Initial shock; disbelief, denial; emotional numbness; guilt feelings; anger.
Acute grief may include: Memory loss and insomnia; extreme fatigue; abrupt changes of mood; flawed judgment and thinking; bouts of crying; appetite changes, with resultant weight loss or gain; a variety of symptoms of disturbed health; lethargy; reduced work capacity; hallucinations—feeling, hearing, seeing the deceased; in the loss of a child, irrational resentment of your spouse.
Leveling-off period: Sadness with nostalgia; more pleasant memories of the deceased, even tinged with humor."
I also have benefitted by knowing what the Bible says happens to us when we die. I don't worry about my mom because I know she is just "sleeping," awaiting the resurrection that Jehovah promised. I will also include a link that talks about what the Bible says happens when we die. Many people are surprised to learn what Eccl. 9:5 says. I won't waste anymore space. I'll just let you check it out for yourself.

Whenever I'm at my grandmothers' house, I dream of my deceased grandpa whom I had a very close connection with when I was young. He loved his property and was often out in the woods thinking and collecting arrowheads. I always have this dream when I'm there of seeing grandpa walking down the path in the woods away from me... I run and run to try to catch up with him, but no matter what, he's always the same distance away from me walking slowly. I think it might be his way of communicating that he wants me to share his love for nature... His ashes are also out there...

I think anyone who has lost someone has these types of dreams. My husband's brother died two years ago in a motorcycle accident, and he says he often dreams of him as if he is not dead. I have dreamt of meeting him too, although I never knew him in real life. We are both comforted by the Bible which tells us that we will see him again on Earth (John 5:28).

At one point I was very sad that my grandfather who has been dead for 20 something years, would never get to meet my children and know them. I had a dream that I was with him and he talked to me and told me he has seen my children and not to worry about that. When I woke up, I felt like I had really talked to him. It was very special and I have not worried that he does not see them since.

sure, thats what dreams are all about.... know that its a merit to dream of departed ones, and they probably come from heaven to tell you a special message, try to understand what they tell you, they might ask you to do something so they can have eternal peace in heaven...

I dreamed that my friend who killed herself came and told me that, yes, it was my fault that she took her life...that I should have returned her phone calls faster, etc...
No, I don't believe it was her spirit talking to me. It was my guilty conscience talking to me.
Had I not recognized that back then, likely the guilt would have driven me to suicide, too.
