After the death of someone very close to us, we are having a lot of dreams of this person; it can be a father, grandfather, mother or any other relative. It is our mind that recreates the image and the feeling of our beloved ones. The depth of the connection between a person and the father or grandfather of him is the reason of how much dreams about deceased relative the dreamer might have. Psychologically, it is the representation of what happened in waking life, our minds still accepting the fact of the death. It means that the feeling of the security in the life of the dreamer has changed and developed to new level, where the dreamer is alone responsible for it. He has it all in his own hands, what was before the death shared between him and his father or grandfather.

Dreaming about the death of the father while he is alive

It is strong dream. Personally, I had such dreams often while my mother was alive. I know the feelings that are triggered by such dreams and the meaning is also very clear for me, but it is very individualistic and can’t be attached to everyone’s dreams. By my personal experience, the dream about the death of a relative was the realization of deep hidden expectation that the death is not avoidable and the acceptance of it before it happens is the solution to the inevitable changes of my life. Generally, the creation of such experience while we are dreaming is based on amazing ability of our subconscious mind to prepare us so that we become more stronger and capable to bear anything who might seem first unbearable. In other words, the dream about the death of the father (or other relative) while he is alive is the training to live a life without him (or any beloved one). So, this dream means that after each of such dream we become stronger. Also, it announces that sooner or later we will receive the authority, power and wisdom that our father or grandfather have.

It doesn’t have such prophetic message, of which you should think about. But it sometimes becomes very common dream for those who are in constant thinking about the health of the father or other relative. It shows delicate care and strong bond between two also.

Deceased father is alive in a dream or coming back from the dead

Most of the times such dream gives us enormous happiness, because it’s recreates the feelings that are the same while our father was alive. It shows that the reality we live in waking life is not only one. There is something magical and mystical that can be reached and experienced. It means re-birth, new beginnings, spiritual growth and overall expansion within the dreamer’s life. Alternatively, it can mean that the father here is to support, encourage you. It means that you can bear a lot of more and that depends only on your own wish. There isn’t anything to stop you. Keep in mind that and all your wishes comes true. If in the dream you seen resurrected grandfather, then it symbolizes constant wisdom that is around you.

Talking resurrected father/grandfather

If your father or grandfather was talking with you, try to remember what has been said. Is there some important message in the words of resurrected one? Alternatively, it means that you are very responsible person with the information, which you manage. If you are sharing it, then you are doing it in so delicate way for the better. Also, it can symbolize that you have the ability to encourage others just by speaking positive truth. Father represents logical aspects of how you do manage those things, while grandfather – common sense aspects of the same.

Hugging of deceased father/grandfather dream meaning: secure comfort and protective mastery

To dream about hugging the deceased father means your ability to achieve secure comfort in your waking life. If hugging the dead grandfather, then it symbolizes your potential to acquire mastery in protecting not only yourself but others too.

General Meanings:

The dream has a lot to do with the death ,when it wants to frighten the dreamer. The main thing is that people know about the death, that it exists, but does not realize it and when they dream of the death, it overwhelms them. They experience how short life actually is, and it can be over any time, any second. Usually the death in dreams symbolizes the big changes and/or the end of something in dreamer’s life. However, the changes and the end might be a good thing, where you can start everything from the beginning.

The death of someone
It depends on who died in a dream, as for example if someone that is closed to you died in the dream, then such dream shows the fear of losing of that particular person. It also could show that you feel guilty of not giving enough of attention to that person, therefore you dream of his death, where you lose any contact with him for good.

The death of your own
If the dreamer sees his own death, then the dream shows that maybe some part of you is dead and not alive anymore, which shows that you are changing as a person, as individual. The other meaning could show that the dreamer is not taking care of himself, which means that he needs to start looking more after himself instead of the others. The dream could also have a good meaning, where the end of something old that lies within you is no more the part of you, and you are becoming better person, having only positive features. This dream could be called as a process of rebirth and new beginning.

Psychological Meanings:

In reality the death has only negative impacts, however in dreams it is only a symbol transformation and not a signal of actual death. Consider, that what dies in a dream it is replaced with something new.

The death of your own scares a lot, as the death is something unknown and not understandable, out of the mind. The fact that everything will be over when you die feels unacceptable. The end of your life gives some thoughts, which might change your view to the life. Therefore when dreaming about the death might want to tell you that you should make some cardinal changes and decisions in your life. There is a possibility that the dreamer is trying to take mind and body apart.

Psychologically, it is the representation of what happened in waking life, our minds still accepting the fact of the death. It means that the feeling of the security in the life of the dreamer has changed and developed to new level, where the dreamer is alone responsible for it.
