Dreaming of a dead person or a dead person talking - what does it mean?
Dreaming of a dead person is more common than you think. Dreaming of a dead man who speaks or dead who perform the most disparate actions happens frequently, especially if you are going through a particular phase of your life.
Usually we tend to dream of a dead person in reality (a deceased relative or friend) who seems to have come back to life to tell us something. The unconscious, through this kind of dream, tries to re-elaborate the emotions related to the person in question. The meaning, however, can be different depending on many variables, as we will see below.
It is not said that dreaming of a dead person represents a nightmare, at times it can also generate emotion and relief. Let's find out together what it means, but first here's to you how much you should sleep based on your zodiac sign:
Dreaming of a dead person - what is the meaning?
Dreaming of a dead person to whom we were linked in some way in life expresses something of our relationship with her in the first place. If she has recently died, the dream can help us rework the grief and reflects the process of gradually accepting the loss. In these cases it is almost always a pleasant dream, which allows us to re-establish contact with those we thought lost.
Dreaming of a dead person then happens frequently if you are going through a moment of transition in your life: in this case its meaning will be linked to the passage from one state to another, both in a negative and a positive sense. It depends a lot on the context in which the dream occurs and if it leaves you with a feeling of peace or restlessness. It is no coincidence that in popular tradition it is said that dreaming of one's dead husband brings great luck ...
And if we are going through a moment of particular difficulty, the appearance in a dream of a dead person who was particularly dear to us takes on the meaning of a need for comfort, to have someone with whom we can feel protected and safe again.
If, on the other hand, we happen to dream of a person still alive, but dead, the meanings can be different and always linked to the relationship we have with this person: it can mean the fear of losing that particular person because of the very strong love that binds us to her, or on the contrary be the expression of a very great and unexpressed anger that we feel towards her, as if our unconscious wished to free itself from it. It could therefore mean the desire to end a relationship in which we do not live well. Often, however, the dead person simply represents a part of ourselves that dies to bring about a change, a transformation.
What does it mean to dream of a dead man who speaks?
Dreaming of a dead man speaking is very recurrent in many people. The first meaning of this dream is to express the lack of the person in question: we resurrect her in a dream because we need to listen to her voice once again, longing for her comfort.
It would be much more serious, however, if the dead man did not speak: in this case he could express a sense of emptiness, of guilt, towards him, which makes communication impossible.Maybe even in life you weren't able to communicate as you would have liked ...
Also in this case the meaning of the dream can be positive or negative according to the feeling it gives you: if it is a dream that is all in all peaceful, it becomes the expression of the affection you have for this person, while if it leaves you a sense distress or discomfort, expresses unresolved issues that may concern yourself or the relationship with the dead when he was alive.
In general, if you are facing a difficult moment, dreaming of a dead man speaking is positive: it means that you are about to overcome this crucial phase and a new path will soon open up for you. Death is always the "beginning of something" else!
Dreaming of dead - here are the other variables with their meaning
Dreaming of death can have different meanings also based on the action they perform. For example, if you happen to dream of a dead man smiling, it means that you are overcoming a bereavement, a sorrow, a negative phase inside you and that you are ready to smile again! If you dream of a sad death, however, it can symbolize a moment of difficulty, a complicated relationship, something unresolved within you.
If the dead man takes you by the hand, it means that you are going through a period of difficulty, of depression, from which you cannot find the strength to escape. If, on the other hand, the dead man greets you, it means that you are finally resolving the unfinished business that you had with him in life.
If you dream of the dead resurrecting, finally, it could mean a very strong desire to have that particular person next to you, or it could be the expression of a personal rebirth: new opportunities may soon arrive and you will be ready to take them on the fly!
