A visitation dream: when a deceased visits ones dream.
Psychologists describe visitation dreams to have a hyper-real intensity and believe that such dreams help with the grieving process and can encourage a wider spiritual perspective. A lot of people who have experienced visitation dreams describe the deceased to appear younger and healthier than when they passed. (McNamara, 2011) The deceased is often someone that the dreamer knows who has recently passed but can also appear decades after their passing. Some believe that the deceased visits for a few reasons. (OMtimes Magazine, 2013)
To comfort the sleeper, to provide guidance.
They are looking for forgiveness in order to move on.
They want share a message.
Spirits in dreams can appear loving and kind with an angelic glow or can appear as dark threatening entities.
