Happy August, Friend! 

How to Visit With a Loved One in Your Dreams  

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our loved ones could send us a postcard from heaven? Imagine how different grief would be if we knew – beyond a shadow of a doubt – that our loved ones in heaven had safely arrived and were doing just fine. Luckily you can have this experience through the magic of dreams.

Stories abound throughout the centuries of people who’ve had these dream encounters. The belief in our ability to visit the departed in dreams goes back thousands of years. Plato called our dream time the “metaxus” which refers to a state between worlds. He believed there is a place we go to in our sleep state where we can meet with ascended beings and our deceased loved ones. When Jamie Fox accepted his Oscar, he thanked his grandmother for being his first teacher. Then he added, “Now she talks to me in my dreams. And I can’t wait to go to sleep tonight because we’ve got a lot to talk about.”

Characteristics of a Dream Visit

1. Deceased loved one appears healthy and happy. In the majority of cases, our deceased loved ones will look like they did when they were healthy and in their prime. Before my mother-in-law Maggie passed away, she lost a leg due to diabetic complications. When she appears in my dreams, she looks as she did the first year I met her. In her first dream appearance, Maggie hopped on each leg and said, “Look! I’ve got two good legs again!”
           
2. The dream visit is organized and realistic. Dream encounters from loved ones in heaven feel like an actual visit. The dream is often in the home you two shared together or a place you both loved to visit. It progresses in a realistic, chronological fashion. After my friend Susan’s mom passed away, she dreamt that she was walking a trail behind her childhood home when her mother suddenly appeared and the two continued walking. Susan’s childhood dog, a gentle Rottweiler named Phil, was also with her mother. Susan and her mother talked over the last weeks of Susan’s life. They discussed the funeral and joked about the minister mispronouncing their last name. Susan’s mom thanked her for following her wishes and giving her a beautiful send-off. When they reached the end of the trail, Susan’s mother said, “Well looks like it’s time to say goodbye. I love you honey and I’m always here for you.” And then Susan woke up. The dream felt so real to her that she swears upon waking she could smell her mother’s perfume lingering in Susan’s bedroom. Many dream visits have this sense of reality and familiarity to them. Dream visits feel like an actual reunion with your loved one.

3. Dream visits typically convey a message, purpose, or request. Since it takes so much energy for our loved ones to appear in our dreams, they usually will only make the effort when it’s needed. Dream visits offer a chance for one final goodbye or to share an important message. My client Theo had a dream shortly after his Aunt Linda passed away. She appeared to Theo in her home and was pacing back and forth wringing her hands in distress. Theo asked her, “What’s wrong Aunt Linda?” She told him that there was another insurance policy her husband didn’t know about. When Theo called his uncle, they were able to track down a sizeable insurance policy Linda had neglected to tell anyone about.
 

Request a Dream Visit

If you’ve lost a loved one and haven’t had a dream visit with them, be patient. It can take a lot of time because they have to first get acclimated to their new surroundings. Then they have to learn how to work with their energy and yours to enter your dream state. Finally, our personal grief can act as a barrier pushing their energy away from connecting with us in the dream. If you’re still actively grieving but want to hear from your loved one, before falling asleep say to your loved one, “I give you permission to enter my dreams. If you can’t, please try to visit someone close to both of us in their dream, so I can still hear from you.”

My friend Maura dreamt that her next-door neighbor’s recently deceased husband was walking by the house. He waved to Maura and said, “Tell my wife I made it. Love you Tweetie!”  When Maura walked next door and relayed the dreamt to the new widow, the woman collapsed in tears. She told Maura that Tweetie was his special nickname for her because she was so chatty.

Talk about your loved ones on the other side. Honor them in a special way. Keep photos of them around you. Talk to them before you fall asleep. Prime your soul for a dream visit by practicing more meditation and self-care. We’re more likely to experience a soul visit dream when we’re calm, relaxed, centered, and grounded. With patience, dream journaling, and consistent dream recall practice, you will soon have a dream visit with your loved one in heaven.

To help you achieve this amazing experience for yourself, I’ve created a brand-new meditation called Dream Reunion: A Guided Meditation to Prepare for a Dream Visit. You can listen to this meditation for free when you pre-order my new book.

Crystals of the Month: Labradorite and Kyanite

Crystals are excellent for dream recall, and two of the best crystals for helping remember your dreams are Labradorite and Kyanite. Labradorite helps awaken the Third Eye. It stimulates the imagination and helps clear the mind. It’s a stone of transformation helping you awaken to your spiritual gifts. The great thing about Labradorite is that it works hard to protect your energy while you’re awakening to your intuition, meditating, or dreaming. It’s a great help for people who have social anxiety or feel uncomfortable at large gatherings and dealing with “small talk” because it helps you to find your inner, authentic self. Labradorite acts like a filter allowing only the positive energy to enter your aura and your dreams.
 
Kyanite cleanses, aligns, and balances the chakras. It’s a great stone to wear for help with attuning to higher energies.  It strengthens and stimulates intuition and helps enhance connection with our guides. Like Labradorite, it strengthens and awakens the Third Eye chakra but it also works to open the Throat Chakra facilitating clearer communication between the realms.  Kyanite encourages better past life recall dreams as well. It helps to balance and align the chakras leaving you calm, centered, and primed for better dream recall.
 
To help us remember our dreams, I’ve created a new bracelet that incorporates both Labradorite and Kyanite along with silver which acts like a mirror for the soul allowing us to see ourselves and our dreams more clearly. Wear this bracelet as a reminder that you are a soul traveler capable of remembering your dreams and having incredible experiences during sleep. Wear it while meditating and sleeping to help unlock the magic awaiting in your dreams. Click here to order yours now.
