What Does It Mean When You Dream of Someone Who Has Passed Away

Some people frequently remember their dreams, while others claim they never dream or at least can’t recall them.

But do dreams have any significance? While many believe dreams convey messages from unseen forces that we can’t perceive while awake, some scientists argue that dreams are merely the result of neurological processes in our brains.

Even when we’re asleep, our brains are very active. Sometimes, dreams reflect our daily experiences, while at other times, they reveal our fears. But what does it mean when we dream about someone who has passed away?

These dreams might be part of the grieving process or reflect a transition happening in our lives. According to Healthline, it’s more often the latter.

Such dreams are common during periods of change, such as starting a new job, moving to a new place, or meeting new people.

More important than the dream itself is how it makes us feel.

Rubin Naiman, a psychologist with a Ph.D. who has extensively studied sleep, explains, “Dream interpretation involves decoding the dream. It offers psychological insights and expands our consciousness.”

So, dreaming about someone who has died may be related to the changes in our lives and how those changes impact us.

“Many contemporary neuroscientists believe that during REM sleep, the brain is performing maintenance tasks and may unintentionally generate visual images, making dreams appear meaningless,” says Naiman. “On the other hand, some believe that dreaming is more profound than waking life. This view is prevalent in ‘dream cultures,’ such as among the indigenous people of Australia, who see dreaming as fundamental to our spiritual existence.”

Experts categorize these dreams into four types.

First, dreaming of a deceased person might be the brain’s way of processing grief and pain. If we had unresolved issues with the deceased, such as guilt, this could explain why they appear in our dreams. Dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg suggests that we might dream of a deceased person if we recognize their traits, like substance abuse, in ourselves. Some experts believe these dreams represent a visitation from the deceased, especially if they appear well-dressed or happy. A positive feeling from the dream may suggest the deceased person is saying “Hello.”

Regardless of our beliefs about dreams, they undeniably offer profound and meaningful insights. Dreams can provide a glimpse into our soul and our connection with those who have passed away.

“Ridiculous,” Demi Moore Rocks a Shiny Blue Gown, but People Are Urging Her to Cut Her Long Hair

Demi looked flawless in a strapless blue Balenciaga gown covered in sequins that sparkled under the lights. She posted her stunning look on Instagram, but her followers were all pointing out the same thing.

Demi Moore, Eva Longoria, and Lily Gladstone looked stunning as they led the stars at the Chopard Trophée Awards ceremony during the 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival on Friday.

For the event held at Carlton Beach in Cannes, France, Moore, 61, put on a dazzling display in a strapless Balenciaga gown, which was covered entirely with sapphire blue sequins. Her dress also featured structured hip details to accentuate her glamorous figure.

Demi looked flawless in the gown, which sparkled under the lights. Her physique looked incredible in the form-fitting dress, which also boasted a floor-sweeping train.

As if her dress didn’t sparkle enough, Demi accessorized it with dazzling Chopard jewelry. She wore a Haute Joaillerie Collection necklace featuring 70.40 carats of Paraíba tourmaline and 43.38 carats of diamonds set in 18k white gold.

Her jet-black hair flowed sleek and straight, parted down the middle in her signature style, framing her face with effortless chic. She played up her features with a sultry, smokey eye, drawing attention to her captivating gaze. Her lips were finished with a nude gloss, adding a hint of glamour without overpowering her natural beauty.

When she shared photos on Instagram, her followers went all out with compliments, ranging from praising her timeless beauty at 60 to admiring her dress that “shone like a diamond,” a reference to a famous Rihanna song.

However, as always, some couldn’t resist pointing out what seemed to bother them: her long hair. “I wish she would cut her hair ridiculous,” someone wrote. Another user went like: “Too old for long hair like that.” People seemed a bit taken aback by Demi’s choice to wear such long hair at her age. On the flip side, it’s a key part of her iconic look, and let’s be honest, Demi’s unconventional super long hair only adds to her charm.

Demi’s appearance often ignites quite a few reactions, just like the ones she rocked at the 2024 Met Gala.
