The Deceased in a dream
A person who has passed away is read in dreams as remembrance, a nudge to slow down or a change in the weather.
A dream about someone who is no longer with us can be unsettling, but folk tradition reads it gently. Most often it is said to be a sign of remembrance and of love that lasts, or a reminder to slow down and give time to those close to you. In many regions, such a dream is also believed to announce a change in the weather. Dreams often work through what we carry in our thoughts, so take it as a quiet hello.
