Reddit Answers: I Dream About Dead People
Today we look at a reddit comment that shows soul abilities at work for someone not sure about their abilities, not having had seen their abilities at work. We go to the subreddit of r/Medium for this question about a dream that turned out to be an evidential piece to a spiritual puzzle.
Dreaming about a deceased person I've never met
Edit/tldr: I just wanted to be clear about what I'm asking because I'm not asking for a dream interpretation. I know that's not what this community is for, I just wanted some guidance if any of you have any. I've never dreamt about someone, gotten their name, verified that they were a real person and that they're no longer living. I don't know if this is what it's supposed to be like or if I'm supposed to do anything. Or have I already done it? I'm just really clueless.
Two days ago I was talking with a friend about how I was going to quit my job and be a full-time psychic, or maybe a medium to help people connect with lost loved ones. It was sort of a joke, but I do come from a family that works with the spirit world. That side of the family is in another country though, and I'm in the States, so I've never formally been taught anything by any of them. That night, I had a dream that I met this man at a carnival of sorts. It was crowded but there was no music or noise like people playing games or having fun--everyone was just walking around, all wearing white shirts and pants/jeans/skirts, but everyone had on a white top. I couldn't really see anyone's faces when I looked directly at them but if we were passing them, or if it was in my peripheral view I could kind of see them. So this man introduced himself to me at the beginning of the dream when I met him near what I can only assume to be the entrance or front gate of this carnival. I typically know I'm dreaming when I'm asleep, and this was no different and I tried to remember his name. The whole dream was just us walking through this crowd, sometimes he'd pull me, sometimes I'd pull him, but we were mostly walking between people, passing rides that didn't seem to be on or moving, even though the people were.
Then, we get to a row of turnstiles. He turns to me and I see his face, even though it's the same as the rest of the dream-- if I look too long it becomes harder to process. He kisses both my cheeks and says his name again, holds both my hands in his hands, turns, walks through the turnstiles, gets on a boat and I wake up.
In the dream, I could feel myself waking up, so I wrote his name on a piece of paper and kept repeating it until I woke up. Then I completely forgot his name until I got home from work.
When I googled it, one of the first results was a memorial foundation that helps feed people. The day I made the joke and had the dream was November 6 and in the state where his family is from, they had a food drive that day. Reading about him, we would be the same age today. I currently work for Meals on Wheels, so maybe the connection we both have is that we want people to eat. He passed in 2007 though, so I don't know why I'd dream about him now.
I'm looking for any thoughts you all might have. I'd ask my mother but she's really hesitant when it comes to talking about stuff like this, as I think there may be some trauma she associates with practicing, which is why she only told me a few things (like how some of my cousins and I are able to see the dead and heal bones).
When I was younger I used to see spirits and do energy work, but between the ages of 26-34 (now) I felt like that connection was missing inside of me. The dream I had two night ago didn't feel the way it used to feel--it felt easy, as though this is just what happens: you dream about someone, you help them find the turn stiles. At no point was I asking why I was there. I didn't feel fear or any other strong emotion. Just need, like I needed to make sure we didn't lose each other, but even that wasn't a strong feeling because we were both making sure to stay close to each other till the turn stiles.
Anyway, the insight y'all give each other on this community is always really helpful, so if y'all have any thoughts, please feel free to share.
If you feel like knowing his name might help you with input, please DM me, as I'd like to respect his family's privacy.
Thank you in advance! 🙏🏽
