Friends, acquaintances or relatives whose souls have left this world sometimes appear in every person’s night visions. Meeting the deceased frightens the dreamer and makes him think of a bad omen of a serious illness or death. A dream in which a deceased person comes to visit does not always indicate negative events. For a correct interpretation, all details of the plot should be taken into account.
Miller's interpretation
American psychologist Gustav Miller gives several interpretations of the image of a dead man who came to visit in a dream. Depending on the nuances and details of the plot, the dream foreshadows:
- I dreamed of a dead person who was alive in reality - a warning about an upcoming test. The dreamer needs to endure the period of difficulties with steadfastness in order to avoid heavy losses;
- hearing the voice of a deceased relative is bad news;
- a conversation with the late father means the need to carefully consider the planned business before its implementation. This will avoid annoying mistakes and misunderstandings. A dream may warn that enemies are plotting against the dreamer. It is necessary to carefully monitor your behavior and protect your reputation;
- a deceased mother is a sign indicating the need to learn to control emotions, show loyalty and tact towards others. The image of a mother can be a warning of an upcoming serious illness. It is important to closely monitor your health and visit a doctor at the first signs of illness;
- brother - you should pay attention to your immediate surroundings. Perhaps one of your relatives needs help, but is embarrassed to ask for it;
- a conversation with a revived deceased can be prophetic in nature. You need to try to remember what exactly the deceased said and project his words onto the current situation in life. Perhaps the message contains an important warning about upcoming events or contains advice on how to solve accumulated problems;
- a satisfied dead man - to happy moments in life;
- a gloomy or angry deceased person - to unpleasant situations, problems in the family and at work;
- making promises to the dead means a period of despondency, decline in business and problems in the family.
According to the dream book, a deceased person who comes to visit the dreamer is an important sign for the sleeper. Deceased relatives warn of upcoming trials, give tips and advice for solving current problems, or predict periods of joy and happiness.
What do religions say about dreams in which the deceased calls the sleeper?
Different religions have different theories about the actions of the deceased soul. In Orthodoxy, she personifies burden, grief, but not death. In Buddhism, the soul is residual energy, a trace of a bygone life. In paganism, the soul is reincarnated, transformed - it no longer has a connection to a dead body.
The calling of the soul after the death of the body is also perceived differently across cultures.
- In Orthodoxy, it is necessary to pay attention to how the deceased person behaved and how the dreamer showed himself. His actions are a direct hint: if there is no negative connotation and fear in the dream, there is nothing to worry about.
- Muslims interpret dreams as an omen of terrible or dangerous events. They will happen in real life, but it depends only on the dreamer, on his faith, what the consequences will be. If he believes in God, in a higher power, he will overcome difficulties.
- In Buddhism they believe that after such dreams it is better to reflect on your recent past and draw some conclusions.
- Paganism suggests looking at the call of the ancestors - they are dissatisfied with something.
Walking away with the deceased, holding their hand, or following them is dangerous in any culture. In most cases, the dream is accompanied by strong internal resistance - the dreamer seems to feel that he is acting against his will.
If a deceased relative is calling in a dream, the dream should not create strong internal discomfort - neither in an accidental nor in an ordered dream. If he calls by name, there is already danger in a person’s life. In the world of magic, dreams where names are heard from the lips of the dead are a sure sign of the existing evil eye or damage.
Freudian meaning
Sigmund Freud calls for taking seriously dreams that are associated with the dead. To visit a dead person in a dream or to see a dead person come to life is an ambiguous symbol that requires careful analysis.
According to Freud, every dream in which the image of the deceased appears is prophetic and carries warnings or wishes .
If the dreamer managed to communicate with the deceased, he should remember the details of the conversation. Perhaps the dialogue contains a hidden hint or advice for solving a problem that is depressing the sleeping person.
The corpse of an unknown person - to longevity and good health.
A dead child warns of serious problems with conception.
Vanga's Dream Book
The Bulgarian seer believes that a dream in which the deceased came to visit within 40 days of death is a reflection of the dreamer’s sad experiences. If more than a year has passed since the funeral, the vision can be interpreted as follows:
- sick deceased - to injustice towards the dreamer;
- many corpses - to a global catastrophe or epidemic;
- friend - to changes in life;
- clinical death of an acquaintance - to the deceit of imaginary friends. Dirty intrigues are woven behind the dreamer's back;
- conducting a dialogue with a deceased friend and telling him about your life is a sign of the machinations of ill-wishers. You should take a close look at your immediate surroundings and not follow the lead of unfamiliar people;
- the deceased invites you to follow him - to a serious illness or death;
- to see a relative who is alive in reality die - to his long life and prosperity;
- hugging the deceased means getting rid of the torment and worries that have oppressed the dreamer for a long time.
According to Vanga, special attention should be paid to the words that the deceased sent or said to the dreamer.
This is an important sign, deciphering which the sleeper will be able to solve problems that have arisen or take timely measures to prevent serious troubles.
Deceased's clothing and activities
Depending on the appearance and actions of the deceased, the dream can have different interpretations for the sleeper. Therefore, to correctly decipher the dream, you should remember as many details and nuances of the plot as possible:
- A dead man in torn and dirty clothes means conflicts at work, financial difficulties and health problems.
- Clean and tidy attire is a sign of success in business, profitable projects and a successful coincidence of circumstances.
- Lies in a coffin - to a situation in which there will be a threat to the dreamer’s life. You should be concerned about ensuring the safety of yourself and your household.
- Comes to life and stands up - for the arrival of guests.
- Opens your eyes in the coffin - to unexpected large profits, winning the lottery or receiving an inheritance.
- Reproaches - the need to change your attitude towards others. It's time for the dreamer to reconsider his behavior and show more favor to people he knows.
- Declares that he is actually alive - this means important news. Initial plans may have to be changed.
- Dies - to the need to visit the grave of the deceased and restore order to it.
- Crying - to serious conflicts with household members. Most likely, the cause of the scandal will be an insignificant trifle, but this is where a series of protracted disagreements in the family will begin.
- Smiling - to pleasant changes in life. Harmony and comfort will reign in the house.
A good sign is a dream in which the deceased sat down to eat at the table. The dream says that the soul of the deceased has found peace in the afterlife.

The following interpretation options are usually associated with the appearance of dead people in a dream: normal presence, resolution of issues and condemnation.
Remembering a dream in which a deceased person visited you can be a little creepy, but his appearance in itself does not carry much meaning for the entire dream. This is an ordinary dream in which the sleeper sees the deceased alive and unharmed, simply a participant in the situation. In such cases, as a rule, the deceased is not a significant character in your dreams. Perhaps his image is caused by memories of some event in which both the sleeping person and the deceased were once participants. It is likely that in a dream this way hidden sadness and regret that the person who was dear to you is no longer around is revealed. The category of resolving dreams includes dreams in which specific events and actions are associated with the dead. In this case, the appearance of the dead becomes the central event of the unfolding plot. Perhaps you don't have what they need, or their behavior makes you feel certain emotions (positive or negative); in any case, the action or inability to perform it is somehow connected with the resolution of the relationship. Depending on whether the relationship is resolved or not, there is a degree of condemnation or joy in such dreams. “Judgmental” dreams show us dead people either simply dead or zombies. Such dreams cause painful feelings because we find ourselves unable to do anything to change the situation. What character traits were the deceased endowed with during their lifetime? (For example, Uncle John was a saint; Aunt Agnes was mean as a snake, etc.) Did their behavior in the dream coincide with the real one or did it go against it? Maybe you should try to better understand the personality of the deceased, to understand how others saw him.

Deceased relatives and friends
Dreams in which long-dead relatives or close friends appear have different interpretations and foreshadow the most unexpected events. In any case, the image of a dead person in night dreams is an important sign that you need to listen to.
Interpretation depending on who came in the dream:
- Grandfather - to the emergence of new responsibilities and worries. Whether the troubles will be pleasant or not depends on the current situation in the affairs of the sleeper.
- Grandmother - to the stage of life’s difficulties and problems. The dreamer will face serious tests of character strength. Perseverance and patience will help you get through this period.
- Mother - to unforeseen troubles. The dreamer’s excessive impressionability and frivolity will cause future problems.
- Father - to intrigue, unprofitable contracts, wrong decisions and unsuccessful trips. The Dream Interpretation recommends being vigilant and careful when solving current issues.

- Sister - to uncertainty about the dreamer's future or to bad news from afar.
- A distant relative means positive changes in life.
- Friend - to minor troubles associated with children.
A person does not always dream of visions of the deceased as a warning about future events. Sometimes a dead person who comes to you in a dream asks you to stop grieving and let his soul go in peace or, conversely, to remember him and visit the grave.
You just need to listen to the deceased and fulfill his will - light a candle for the repose and visit the grave.
Just talk
The interpretation of how a deceased person calls your name is so common that even children know about it.
According to information from ancient dream books, this is almost always a sign of the approach of imminent death, which will certainly happen to those who have seen such a plot. In fact, it's not that simple. Very often, after the funeral of a loved one, it is difficult for the psyche of his relatives to accept the fact that the deceased is no longer there.
Frightened by signs associated with the dead, they begin to fear that the dead man will call them with him, and then they see a corresponding plot in their dreams. In fact, this is just a game of imagination and the materialization of fears.
In this case, the deceased person grabs your hands, forcibly leads you along, you begin to fight with him and eventually wake up.
In fact, such stories do not portend real danger. These are simply various fears and superstitions associated with the other world. And only in rare cases, if someone who is not the most superstitious dreamed that a dead person was calling him with him, should the dream be interpreted.
However, this does not always mean that this person will die. He just needs to try to exercise normal caution in order to avoid getting into trouble.
Often simple safety measures can delay or prevent disaster. This is how books sometimes interpret a dead person who began to call someone with him in a dream.
