Hi, if any one has not read my threads then hear is the quick.

I lost my dad 3 years ago quickly to cancer. It is very hard for me to deal with, although with the passing time it has eased from everyday emotional breakdown.

I can not say I believe in ghost or spirts or anything like that, hearing from th beyond getting messages but when he died I asked for a sign to let me know that he was ok, for some sort of proff that thier was a power that I never knew about before or something like that.

Well other family members have told me that they feel him, chat with him, dream about him are something else that I knew I was not getting, I either thought they were lieing, crazy or I just was not good enough a daughter did not believe enough. I know I quit praying after he died, blamed God and Dad and so on. Just angry.

WELL, Lately I have dreamt about him, I think, the first time a few weeks ago, I woke up feeling like I had a dream and dad was in it, and could remember bits of it, then a few day later, another, for about 2 or 3 night straight, but could remember none of the dream, and I tried so hard to remember but just could not.

Now, I have not had another one and thinking I just wanted it to be so so dang bad maybe I just imagined the dreams, since I can not remember them anyway they maybe did not happen.

Does this mean something or could it?

Hi there. I lost a little more than six months ago a dear man who was like a dad to me. He opened the door of his home and heart, and took me in as if I was his own daughter. I was blessed to have someone like that in my life and since he died, a single day hasn't passed that I haven't thought about him. A couple of weeks ago I went to visit his wife and by coincidence, both of had dreamt of him the night before. I didn't actually see him, but I knew he was somewhere in that big house and his recently born grandson, was running around all the house laughing. His wife dreamt that he was seeing another woman and was worried about him leaving her without anything. She, the same as I, didn't see him in the dream, but somehow knew he was there. I was so happy just to feel his presence and it has helped overcome his loss. His wife has come a long way since his death, after 39 years of marriage, and although the house feels empty without him, at the same time you know he is there around someplace. So, I believe that people whom we have loved and who have meant so much to us, are still there with us and it helps relieve the pain of their loss. :angel:

Our memories stay with us forever and sometimes in a dream they come to us is some fuzzy strange way. Sometimes crystal clear and other times just foggy. I'm not really sure what you are asking. You must know that parents are going to love you forever and into death and who knows into the beyond. Everyone handles it different and everyone senses things differently. Our brains are amazing and they store things until it is time for whatever memory to reveal itself in a dream. Just know that you have your memories of your dad and when you can handle it they will slowly be more clear. Enjoy them but don't ever think you should be doing more...just isn't time yet.

Thanks you two, I guess since it has been so long since his death and just now to have a dream that as you put it he was fuzzy in, just makes you wonder and you are right about over thinking it, it is just hard as I know everyone knows. just wish I understood it and also that it was not fuzzy and that I could remember it all the dream I am talking about. Guess I am just lonesome and would want nothing more then to talk to my Dad face to face so that I could hug him...

Hello Diva 10, Just going through some of these post, and yours was very interesting!!! I lost my Dad in 1987. As I lay on my bed watching TV, he knocked on the door, and wanted me to go with him to the race track. I told he, "no maybe another time"! There was no other time! He died in his sleep that night....not sick, no warning! How do you think I felt?
As the next few days went by in a blurr, my Mom, my sister, my best friend and myself, started to notice things in the house.

First, I came into the home after a day of work, and as I stood in the kitchen, I could SMELL my dad's cologne. I even yelled out DAD!!! Hoping he was there. Then I found out, my best friend, went into the kitchen cabinet to get her coffee cup in the morning, and there on the shelf was my Dad's favorite cup, with the his SPOON in the cup. He would always put his spoon in the cup after he drank his morning coffee. We all knew right then, Dad was OK, and this made us feel better. Mom still hears walking up the hallway to this day. I have since moved on and out the house, but when I visit, I know he has been there and is watching over us...

I had a dream about him the other night. Its been a long long time since I did that. I was coming around a long hall, and he came out of one of the rooms, and we hugged, and I looked at him and said it has been a long time.. He smiled and hugged me back, real tight. He never said a word.The hug was wonderful... after I woke, I could feel the hug... Somehow, I believe these souls visit us in our sleep, just to let us know they are ok, and doing fine.. This is what we have to believe..keep the faith... Nice chatting...God Bless Janatee:angel:

Thanks you Janatee, I have come to believe what you said. I have not had another and don't really remember what my dreams were about but somehow I know I had them, I have to believe that he was trying to tell me he was ok and I so wish I would have another but will be content with what I have so far.
Thanks,
Veronica

I recently lost my grandmother and mother. I was extremely close to both, and I have had dreams where they are telling me they are ok and they are happy. I completely believe that they come back to us to let us know they are ok. Maybe your dad was waiting until you were ready to listen. =)

My mom died a year ago, and several months after she died, I was still having a lot of trouble dealing with the loss. Then one night, I had a dream that she and I were on the street where I grew up, and she had a new body and told me that she was so happy. It was what I needed to move on. I agree with what the others have said. Best wishes to you all. :)

My grandmother always told us growing up that when a loved one who passed on is in your dreams that it is a "visitation" and something to look forward to. That is how they communicate to us. I even have dreams about pets I have lost but it makes me feel happy when I wake up. :angel:
