My father passed away in April this year, I just had a dream about him, after hoping to dream of him?

Question

for more than two and half months.

In the dream I was in the funeral home supervising the workers getting his body ready for the funeral but some one dropped him and he fell on his face. I was furious and was trying to punish the idiot who did it(but didn't know who it was) and I remember in the dream that I spoke to the head undertaker(in real life).then later in the dream my father was laid on a table in a room, I was standing there and all of a sudden he woke up and started to move and get off the table. Of course in the dream I was overjoyed that he came back to life.

I know it's rather silly to be dwelling on this since I witnessed him being cremated and I picked one of his bones up and put it into an urn. Missing him terribly, I am just curious if this dream has any significant implication.

Answer 1

I too lost my father in september of 01 and have had dreams just like these,still do.I feel your pain and wish you the best.I believe after having these dreams that the dreams are telling you that he will never die, in your eyes (memories).That is what i think anyway.

Answer 2

I went through a difficult time in my life and sought professional counseling. The therapist had an interesting view of dreams. She said that it was not just the events that happened in the dream that were significant but HOW the dreamer re-told the dream. In other words, the telling of the dream provided a lot of insight.

Your father falling on his face and your subsequent anger may be that you think someone hurt him during his life, but you are not sure who. Whoever this person is, you are angry with him/her. Hence, you wanted to punish him/her for hurting your father. Does this ring true at all for you?

Having him come back to life and you being so overjoyed is simply that you wish he were still alive and you miss him. That's perfectly normal. Dreams don't have to always have deep underlying meanings. They can simply be an odd expression of how you are feeling. Your brain is processing his death. In time, you will come to terms with it and I suspect the dreams will cease, for the most part. I still have the occasional dream about my grandmother who died 20 years ago. I always wake up feeling happy that I "saw" her again and at times, even "smelled" her house and cooking!

To dream that you are at somebody else's funeral, signifies that you are burying an old relationship and closing the lid on the past. You may be letting go some of the feelings (resentment, anger, hostility toward someone) that you've been clinging onto.
To dream that you attend a wake of a friend or loved one, foretells that you will hear sad news. To see a friend attending a wake, forewarns that that friend is in grave danger.
To see the dead in your dream, forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd. You may suffer material loss. This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on.
To dream about the death of a loved one, suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what do you like about him. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. Alternatively, it indicates that whatever that person represents has no part in your own life.
To dream that you or others are resurrected from the dead, suggests that you will eventually overcome your current obstacles and achieve your goals. It signals an awakening of your spirituality and renewed energy.

My heart goes out to you, having a father who has just passed.

In the first part of your dream, it's all about the physical world - your worry and angst for his body - I'm sure it was not easy to see him cremated.

In the second part of your dream, it's about the spiritual world - your feeling of joy at realizing that although his physical body went through what you might have interpreted as pain and suffering (in the dream, and in your subconscious memory of the cremation), your father is telling you, by showing you that he is still alive - that indeed, his spiritual body made the journey into the Light.

If you have a scientific type of mind, the book, "The After Life Experiments" by Gary Schwartz, Phd is fascinating. He details lots of scientific experiments conducted at the University of Arizona, with Mediums and people the Mediums were reading for - all recorded, double blind studies, etc.

If, by chance, you have a very young toddler, for instance, you can be sure that your father is visiting this child - people who cross over are always with us :-) - and they will be here with us, always....watching baseball games with us, checking in to see how we are, etc.

Answer 5

The " significant implication" is "in the dream I was overjoyed"...the subconscious allowed you a happy moment in such a tumultuous time of your life...just enjoy the dream and do not be overly analytical as most of us never get to the bottom of our dreams and science can only guess...nightmares are different...my Mother, after my father died and to her death believed that my Father visited her every night...freeky?, of course, but it made her a happy woman until her death..so enjoy those happy dreams and geton with your own life.

Answer 6

I am very sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a loved one. You dream sounds like wish fulfillment, the miraculous return of the person near to your heart.
I know this isn't a lot of comfort, at the moment, but, just because your father's body is not with you, the person will always be a part of you, because of the love you will aways hold, in your heart.

Answer 7

Remember it is natural to miss a love one, also to see them come alive if you truly want them back. When you saw them drop him on his face, you knew he was gone but that angered you because you did not want admit. You will soon have a dream in which he will tell he is happy.I am waiting for that dream from my father, I have had it with my mother.

Answer 8

Your father knows that you cared for him deeply and he wants you to know that he is alive but not on this plane.

Also, he is aware of the thought that you want to have his body cremated. Did you ever have talks with him about what he preferred whether Burial or Cremation. Did he have a preference?
Maybe he does not want Cremation, prefers Burial. Think about it, dont be hasty. Think about it carefully, you dont want him to be unhappy with your decision if it is not his decision also.

It means that your Father is aware you took good care of him in the end, and is showing you he is grateful for it. Also he's letting you know that he hasn't fully left you and is aware and receptive to your thoughts for him.
