Many traditions view visitation dreams as real spiritual encounters:
Indigenous cultures: Ancestors communicate warnings or blessings.
Christianity/Islam/Judaism: Souls may visit to offer peace or unfinished messages.
Buddhism/Hinduism: Dreams reflect karmic ties or transitional states.
🌿 Whether literal or symbolic, the message is often the same: love endures beyond death.
🔍 4. Unresolved Feelings or Guilt
If you carry regret (“I wish I’d said goodbye”), your mind may stage a dream to resolve unfinished business.
You might apologize, receive forgiveness, or simply share one last moment.
These dreams can be intensely emotional—but often lead to emotional release upon waking.
🧠 5. The Brain’s Memory Sorting
During sleep, the brain reviews long-term memories. A scent, song, or anniversary can trigger neural pathways linked to the deceased—bringing them into your dreamscape without deeper meaning.
Not every dream is a message—sometimes it’s just memory maintenance.
