I occasionally have vivid dreams about my family who have passed on- when I wake up I feel as if I have been somewhere but it is vague and I can't remember all the details-have I travelled somewhere and met them!!

No, they are dead.
Where are the dead?
Gen. 3:19: “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”
Eccl. 9:10: “All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [“the grave,” KJ, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV], the place to which you are going.”
What is the condition of the dead?
Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”
Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”
John 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” (Also Psalm 13:3)
Is there some part of man that lives on when the body dies?
Ezek. 18:4: “The soul [“soul,” RS, NE, KJ, Dy, Kx; “man,” JB; “person,” TEV] that is sinning—it itself will die.”
Isa. 53:12: “He poured out his soul [“soul,” RS, KJ, Dy; “life,” TEV; “himself,” JB, Kx, NAB] to the very death.” (Compare Matthew 26:38.)
See also the main headings “Soul” and “Spirit.”
Are the dead in any way able to help or to harm the living?
Eccl. 9:6: “Their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.”
Isa. 26:14: “They are dead; they will not live. Impotent in death, they will not rise up.”

Hi Kizzy sorry about your loss, we all have to suffer bereavement at some stage in life and it affects us in different ways,but the pain and heartache are very real.
you know are loved ones are with God and as God is very close to us especially when we suffer then it is a fact that our loved ones are just as close, and being with God they are happier than they could ever imagine while they were on earth, and how great must that joy be when no-one ever comes back, we are told by Jesus this reassuring fact,` No eye has seen no ear has heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him`
we are always connected to those whom we loved and who loved us and even more so when they are with God, so I am not surprised that you have these dreams, but they will most likely fade after a time as God may be permitting you to have these to comfort you until you feel at peace.
Kind Regards.

This is a gift from God letting to see a time in the future. Yes it will feal real and be very vivid. The Holy Spirit can allow you to travel across time and space in the spirit. There is not time with GOD. There is no seperation in the spirit. He was assuring you of the future.

I'm sorry for your loss, but you're not 'visiting' them. You're just in mourning and having vivid dreams. It happens to a lot of people. They are gone - you'll have to learn to deal with it.

No...they're just your dreams. Your loved ones are in a place where you can't get to until your last breath is gone.

Nope....
But it's possible that you are missing them. So you are dreaming of them. It's actually normal to dream about something you think about..

I'm sorry that you don't have them with you. It sounds as if you miss them very much and that's why you're dreaming about them.
I will ring your doorbell and run away!!!
