What does it mean when a person who has passed away appears in your dreams?

“Visitation dreams,” vivid encounters with deceased loved ones, play a comforting role in grief. Psychologist Jennifer E. Shorter highlights their lifelike nature, reassuring messages, telepathic communication, and calming effects.

These dreams often strengthen beliefs in an afterlife, providing solace and a lasting sense of connection. Whether soon after a loss or years later, they help the grieving find peace.
