Common Signs & Symbols From Loved Ones In Spirit

Signs and symbols play a huge role in my readings because they can provide such astounding evidence of our loved ones all around us. Often as the reader, I may pass on the information of these signs and symbols, but I may not know the meaning or significance to the sitter. However, for them it can be the most meaningful thing they hear in the reading, because spirit knows what will resonate with them. Signs and symbols from the spirit world are often subtle, personal, and can vary greatly from person to person, but they often carry deep meaning for the recipient. These signs are ways of communication that loved ones who have passed, spirit guides and angels, use to connect with us. Here are some common signs and symbols: 1. Feathers 2. Butterflies and Birds 3. Coins 4. Synchronicities 5. Dreams 6. Electrical Disturbances 7. Unexplained Scents 8. Cloud Shapes 9. Objects Moving or Appearing 10. Tingling or Warmth Sensations 11. Animals The key to interpreting these signs is often in personal significance. What resonates with one person may be different from what resonates with another, but the feeling of comfort, reassurance, connection, or a sense of just ‘knowing’ is usually a hallmark of spiritual communication. Remain open, loving and observant when connecting with loved ones through signs and symbols. What signs and symbols from spirit have you encountered?

Do family in spirit become healed when we heal here on Earth?

It is my belief that mediumship offers a profound avenue for healing ourselves and the continuation of love and connection with our family in spirit.  As many of you know, mediumship serves as a bridge between us here on earth and spiritual realms, providing an opportunity to communicate with those who have crossed over.  I believe that mediumship provides healing for many, offering comfort and some closure to individuals managing their grief and loss. Often clients speak of a profound healing after a session.  The ability to connect with departed family members brings a sense of continuity, reaffirming that the bond of love transcends from this world to the next.   Healing Ourselves and Connecting with Family in Spirit I was asked recently if I believe when we heal ourselves here on earth and do the work necessary for our own healing, are we healing our family in spirit? From my perspective and teachings, the answer is a resounding YES!   I have a strong belief that when we heal ourselves, we are also healing our family in spirit. Our family in spirit love us, are close to us, and are often our cheerleaders guiding us along our path, they remain very close. Our family in spirit draws close to us, and they see our progress when we heal ourselves, and they are quite happy for our success.  They in turn are healing as we heal.  They are comforted by the fact that we are progressing in our life and that when we continue to work on ourselves that they participate and are joyful of the accomplishments.  One of the key aspects of mediumship is the healing it brings to our own souls. When we hear from our loved ones, our loved ones in spirit want to say “I love you, I love you”,  “ Thank you”,  “I am sorry”, “I miss you”. This not only helps us on our journey of healing,  but just as important,  it helps those in spirit send love to us, and help with their journey of healing also. One thing that is important to note, is that the spirit world has to work really hard to blend with mediums. They work really hard because of the healing for them and us.  For our family to blend with us and convey loving and healing messages it helps not only us, but them in spirit as well.   If you are on your healing journey and seeking the guidance and love of a loved one who has passed to spirit, consider the healing of a mediumship session.

How do you know your loved one is with you in spirit?

This is a question that I am being asked more and more lately.  People often wonder, how do they know that their loved one is with them in spirit? For many people, knowing that a loved one is with you in spirit is often very personal. I feel certain that our spirit family wants to reach out and touch our hearts by showing us various ways of their love.  For many people who have lost loved ones, they find comfort in various signs or experiences that they interpret as a connection with a departed loved one.  Common Signs Your Loved One Is With You In Spirit Here are some common signs that individuals associate with the presence of a loved one in spirit: From my perspective, some or all of these examples are very personal to each person.  Some people may experiences many of these while others only have one recurring experience. It is important to note that what brings comfort to one person may not have the same experience for others when feeling your loved one in your presence.   Sometimes I am often told by clients,  “I never feel or sense anything.” Over time you as you open up, you may be surprised to start to sense and feel your loved one with you if you are not feeling them today. Sometimes we look too hard for signs and symbols,  and sometimes we need to trust that our family is with us and around us, then we start to notice signs and symbols. I am supportive of your connections with family and friends in spirit.  We all are unique individuals and our family will connect with us in their unique ways.  Please keep an open mind and believe that they are close.

Why do some people fear mediums or mediumship?

Recently, I was at a family event in the summer of 2023, and two people, whom I did not know very well, approached me to ask a few questions about what I do as a medium. They both mentioned that they were fearful of seeing a medium. Why is it that people may have a fear of mediumship?  There can be several reasons, and these fears can vary from person to person. Some common reasons why people may fear mediums include: Fear of the unknown:  Some individuals may not understand or have experiences with the loving and supportive nature of the spirit world. Without the context and experience of mediumship, it’s quite possible to have some fears or anxiety around it. For myself when I first started to see a medium, yes there was worry and anxiousness but that quickly came to pass as I settled into the experience with the medium.   Religious background and belief system:   We are all brought up with a belief system even if we are not a religious person. Some beliefs in our society indicate that communication with the spirits of deceased loved ones is forbidden or a form of occult practice. People that hold part or all of these beliefs may fear a mediumship experience.     Fraudulent experiences or stories: Unfortunately in this field of being a medium, there have been cases of fraudulent mediums who prey on vulnerable individuals, promising to connect them with deceased loved ones in exchange for money.  This tradition stems back centuries and is not new. The fear of being deceived or scammed can lead people to mistrust mediums.    Emotional Vulnerability: Many people seek out mediums in times of grief or emotional distress when they are particularly vulnerable.   Their fear may stem from concerns about being emotionally manipulated or taken advantage of during such vulnerable moments.  Often I hear a client’s concern about the possibility of hearing dark or bleak information about themselves or their loved ones.  I reassure individuals that the spirit world is a loving and supportive place that does not want to harm or place harm on any one of us.    Personal Beliefs and Experiences: Past experiences or personal beliefs can play a significant role in shaping an individual’s fear of mediums. For example, someone who had a negative experience with a medium in the past may be more likely to fear or mistrust others in the same profession. While I have had positive experiences over many years, I am very aware that some people may not have. Whenever I have had a reading from a trusted, reputable genuine medium, I was provided healing and warming experiences that I keep with me to this day. It has changed me for the better. It’s important to note that not everyone fears mediums, and some people have positive experiences with them, finding comfort or healing. People’s beliefs, experiences, and cultural backgrounds can all influence their perceptions of mediums and whether they view them with fear or trust. At the beginning of each session, I check in with my client to ensure that their fears are alleviated. I am very much aware that people have concerns so I address them as soon as possible to allow the client the best experience.    If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s : How Altered States of Consciousness Can Facilitate Communication with Spirits

When a loved one has dementia or Alzheimer’s, it can be challenging to watch them slowly slip away.  Sometimes these patients may appear to be communicating with a family member who has passed on. In this article, we explore the phenomenon of altered states of consciousness and how they can facilitate communication with the spirit world. Altered States of Consciousness and Dementia Individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s often experience altered states of consciousness. These altered states can manifest as dream-like states or periods of zoning out.  During these states, patients may feel and sense the spirit world, similar to how mediums perceive the spiritual realm. This connection to the spirit world can be even stronger for individuals with dementia as they are more receptive to information from the spiritual realm. The spirit world is often closer to us during times of illness and may provide love and support to those suffering from dementia. Communicating with Spirits It is not uncommon for dementia patients to speak to family members who have passed on, as if they were in the same room. This occurs when patients alter their consciousness to receive information from the spiritual realm.  As patients sit in a lucid state, they may blend with their deceased loved ones for support and love. This is a very similar process for mediums like myself who sit down to blend with the spirits of the sitter having the reading.  Supporting Dementia Patients As caretakers of loved ones with dementia, it is important to listen to the stories they tell, even if they seem far-fetched or unrealistic. These stories may provide insight into the altered states of consciousness that dementia patients experience and can help us understand the ways in which they communicate with the spirit world.  By providing support and love to our loved ones with dementia, we can help them navigate the challenges of this illness and the altered states of consciousness that come with it. In conclusion, altered states of consciousness in individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s can facilitate communication with the spirit world. While it may seem far-fetched, patients may speak to deceased family members as if they were in the same room. By understanding and supporting our loved ones during these altered states, we can provide comfort and love to those suffering from dementia.

How to heal from grief and loss with mediumship

Grief is a profound and complex emotion that we experience when we lose someone we love. This does not always mean through death; it can also mean losing a friendship or relationship.   Grief encompasses a range of feelings such as sadness, anger, confusion, and despair. However, beneath the pain lies a beautiful truth: grief is, at its core, a manifestation of the love we had for the person we lost. We cannot have grief if we do not have love.   Grief as the Love You Had Grief can be seen as a negative emotion, associated with suffering and heartache. However, reframing grief as the love we had for someone can bring a sense of comfort and meaning to the experience. Our grief is a testament to the depth of the love we shared with the person or pet who passed away. It is a reflection of the love that filled our hearts and continues to exist.  It’s a beautiful thing to consider! When we grieve, we honour the memories, the connection, and the impact that person or animal had on our lives. We may feel overwhelmed by sorrow, but it is a testament to the love we still carry within us. Acknowledging grief as the love we had allows us to cherish the time we spent together, celebrating the moments of joy and embracing the wonderful impact that person had on our life. Grief, Mediumship, and Healing Mediumship, the ability to connect with spirits, has long been associated with grief and the longing to communicate with loved ones who have passed away. While some may question the validity of such connections, many individuals, such as myself and many of my clients, have reported profound healing experiences through mediumship.  For myself,  I had experienced calmness and happiness after connecting with my brother through a medium.   It was truly healing. Mediumship offers a sense of reassurance and healing, allowing individuals to receive messages, guidance, and even validations from their departed loved ones. These connections can bring solace, as they provide evidence that the love we had for someone is still present and that they continue to watch over us. Moreover, grief is a transformative process, and mediumship can play a role in this transformation. It allows individuals to explore their emotions, ask unanswered questions, and explore the possibility that their loved one remains close. Mediumship can offer a new meaning in life after loss. A Personal Journey Healing from loss is a deeply personal journey, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. However, embracing grief as the love we had and exploring possibilities like mediumship can be beneficial for those seeking comfort and healing. It is important to remember that healing does not mean forgetting or moving on, but rather finding ways to integrate the love and memories of the departed into our lives, allowing their spirit to live on within us. Grief, as the love we had for someone, is a testament to the depth of our connections and the impact they had on our lives. Mediumship offers healing, closure, and an opportunity to continue the bond with our departed loved ones. I appreciate and understand grief can be painful, embracing it as the love within us allows us to honour and celebrate the memories and find solace in the transformative power of the grieving process. I encourage you to consider seeing a medium for grief and loss during your healing journey.

What are mediumship demonstrations?

Mediumship demonstrations have been around for centuries and continue to captivate and intrigue audiences today. Mediumship is the practice of communicating with spirits of deceased individuals, and mediums are individuals who have the ability to do so. Mediumship demonstrations are public events where mediums perform their abilities in front of an audience.  I have done several mediumship demonstrations myself, usually with a colleague, and I would be happy to tell you all about them. What Are Mediumship Demonstrations? Mediumship demonstrations are public events where mediums showcase their ability to communicate with spirits of the deceased in front of an audience. These demonstrations can take place in various settings such as spiritualist churches, psychic fairs, private events or even online for large audiences. During a mediumship demonstration, a medium will typically stand on a stage or on screen and relay messages from spirits to members of the audience. The medium may ask the audience to raise their hands if they can relate to the messages they are relaying, and the messages are often specific to the individual being addressed. Mediumship demonstrations can be done in a couple ways, and each medium may have their unique style. Most mediums prefer to work with one individual at a time during a demonstration.  On occasion a medium may choose to work with multiple individuals at once.  Are Mediumship Demonstrations Usually Free? The answer to whether mediumship demonstrations are usually free or not depends on several factors, including the location of the event, the medium performing, and the purpose of the demonstration. Spiritualist churches, for example, often offer mediumship demonstrations to their members for free or for a small fee. These demonstrations are typically done to provide comfort and healing to individuals who have lost loved ones. On the other hand, mediums who are professionals and perform at psychic fairs, private events, or other public venues may charge a fee for their services. The fee for these demonstrations can vary.  What Is The Purpose of a Mediumship Demonstration? The purpose of mediumship demonstrations is to provide comfort and healing to individuals who have lost loved ones. Mediumship can be a tool for grief and can offer a sense of closure to individuals who may be struggling to come to terms with their loss. Additionally, mediumship demonstrations can help individuals to reconnect with their loved ones in the afterlife and can provide reassurance that their loved ones are still with them. Mediumship demonstrations can also be a tool for spiritual growth and development. Many individuals who attend mediumship demonstrations do so out of curiosity or a desire to explore their spirituality. These demonstrations can help individuals see how another medium conducts their sessions, gain insight to the spirit world and just to be in the presence of the spirit, which feels wonderful as viewing a demonstration brings comfort and healing for those in attendance.   Mediumship Demonstrations Are Comforting In conclusion, if you are able to attend a demonstration of mediumship,  please do.  Demonstrations are meant to help individuals with their healing of lost family and loved ones,  help grow spiritually, and be in the presence of the divine spirit.  Please research your area, or online for a demonstration or sign up for my newsletter so that you may find out when my next demonstration will be.

Is it safe to see a medium when grieving? 

Firstly, if you’re wondering whether or not it’s safe to see a medium when grieving, I suspect that you’ve lost somebody recently and for that I am very sorry. Our loved ones mean the world to us, and without them, our lives can change significantly.   When we are grieving, I’ve often said that the depth of our grief is equal to the depth of our love. Deep grief comes from deep love, and without the deep love, we would not have the grief that we experience.   For myself, I know personally what it’s like to grieve deeply, and I can attest to how much my life changed after the unexpected loss of my brother. We try to carry on. We attempt to have a normal daily life in whatever way ‘normalcy’ would have looked like, but we miss family dearly.     What is grief? Grief strikes deeply at the heart and changes us all. To grieve is to go through some of the most difficult times of our lives. It is not easy to maneuver through the emotional challenges of grief, however, each day we learn just a little bit more, and we work at having just a bit more normalcy in our lives. The deep emotions of losing someone special is felt for many years to come. Because of this, we often live a long time with grief. We know deep in our heart that we grieve daily for those who have passed before us.   When in our grief, often we look for answers to many types of questions. Why did that person have to pass? How do I live without them? Are they okay in the spirit world? Ultimately, we are looking for a little bit of peace in our heart. Often, individuals will come to a medium to learn about the spirit world, to have an experience of connecting with a loved one that has passed, and to hopefully get some peace in their heart, knowing that their loved one is okay and is able to send messages and evidence through a medium.  Why it’s safe to see a medium when grieving I believe it is safe to see a medium when grieving as the medium will bring evidential information from the spirit world, which can be very healing. Evidential mediumship is about providing information that only yourself and your loved one in spirit would know. The evidence could be shared memories, physical items, pictures, descriptions of homes, emotions, and/or any evidence of your life after they have passed. There would be no way that the medium would have any access to this information outside of the reading, hence why it is referred to as evidence of your loved one in spirit coming through.   When we receive evidence of mediumship, there is a warming of the heart, an awakening of the possibility that our loved ones are carrying on in the spirit world. I do believe that the soul does carry forward after physical death, and that is what a medium communicates with during a reading.    While I believe it is safe to see a medium when grieving, I would advise leaving a bit of time after the person’s passing and before seeing a medium, to allow the grieving process to occur. For instance, I’ve had individuals come to see me three or four months after a loved one has passed, and the mediumship reading was heartwarming, healing, and very supportive. My only caution The only concern that I caution everybody with is to not see a medium too often. We must allow ourselves to grieve internally, and not rely on a medium to bring forth messages and evidence. There are times when individuals become too reliant on mediums for their healing process, and for this reason, we must be careful not to repeatedly seek out a medium. My standard policy is six months between readings. For other readers, it may be more or less.   I sincerely believe that it is safe and supportive to see an evidential medium when grieving. My main piece of advice is to research a medium thoroughly before booking with them. Evidential Mediumship is so important to our healing by helping the soul and bridging the connection from loved ones in spirit. It’s important that you find the right medium for both you and spirit.

Signs From Our Spirit Family | Dimes & Butterflies

It’s a beautiful thing to receive signs from our spirit family. Sometimes when we see these signs, it may be because we’re having a difficult day and thinking of our loved ones. I would love to share with you the significance of dimes and butterflies in life. How Signs From Our Spirit Family Can Show Up I am aware that spirit is able to draw, move items and manipulate items for positive outcomes. How do I feel this works? Well, everything that is living is energy – the birds, the bees, the trees, the elephants, the lizards, along with ourselves. We create energy with our spirit and soul, and this energy, along with the energy of the spirit world, allows dimes and possibly other items like feathers and pictures to move.    There is a universal law which suggests that the spirit world cannot take any items that belong to anyone, except for items that are already lost, or items that can easily be moved but not taken. For instance, dimes are often a lost item and they can be extracted from the Earth’s dirt. Pictures and drawings can easily be moved, but not removed. For all of this to occur, there’s a collaboration between the spirit world and your own energy that allows objects to move. When we are experiencing grief or loss, or when we’re contemplating within ourselves, we create an energy connection. Spirits use this connection to show us they’re there for support. Dimes Finding dimes does not always mean you’re having a difficult day even though this seems to be the theme of dimes in my experience! I do feel that it is often when we are at a loss, feeling down and uncertain about the next steps in life that a dime may appear.   However more importantly,  dimes may also appear as an “I love you, and I am thinking of you.” Dimes by a bedside table, on top of a closet, inside a drawer or areas where a dime has never been before are remarkable as they often just appear out of nowhere. When a dime appears, consider what you have going on in your life,  what you have been contemplating or if you are having difficult days. Consider what is happening. For some, dimes are a show of support and love, a form of communication to you and with loved ones in spirit. Are all random dime sightings a sign from the spirit world? Well no, because some dimes are just there in life. However, the next time you find one, consider where the dimes may have come from. Did you lose some change in that area? If you cannot determine how a dime may have arrived in an unusual spot looking right at us, I Would like you to consider that this is a positive form of communication from spirit. Butterflies Butterflies can prompt the question – are the butterflies my family member? I feel that butterflies are more of a synchronicity about being in the correct place, and not necessarily a sign from the spirit world. However, I must say that if you are thinking of your loved one, or often in deep contemplation, and if a butterfly, a hummingbird or a small bird shows up and watches you, consider that your loved ones are there. If you feel this is your family then know that in your heart of hearts this is your family communicating! I believe there is a great possibility that the energy of the butterfly or bird is the love of your family.   I hope you find some comfort in my beliefs of the positive energy and communication that comes from the spirit world, and if you have any thoughts on this please don’t hesitate to comment.

How To Connect With Loved Ones After They’ve Passed

It is no surprise that many of us would want to connect with loved ones after they’ve passed. I know when I lost my brother, I had no idea where he was or where he went! I didn’t believe in the spirit world at the time, so how could I feel him? It wasn’t until many years later that I felt drawn to connect and develop my mediumship. I felt that my brother would assist me in my life, and connect to show me signs.   Calm Your Mind So, what did I do?  First off, to connect with loved ones after they’ve passed, I needed to learn to quiet my body and mind in order to connect with my own spirit, which would then allow me to connect with family in the spirit world.  I believe that we need a calm mind in order to make this connection. Often our mind is busy with the day’s events and challenges that we face. If we have a busy mind or a lot on the go, we should find ways to calm the mind for short periods of time each day. Possibly stop to enjoy a cup of tea and allow the mind to rest. It’s in the resting of the mind that we become calmer and more at peace with our own spirit instead of feeling anxious about the concerns of the day.  In the beginning, I strongly suggest that you develop this ability to sit and be quiet. It can be indoors or outdoors, as long as it’s a place where you can learn how to calm the mind. I sometimes use the technique of paying attention to each breath while breathing through the nose. Paying attention allows the mind to calm. This technique is helpful for me personally, however, there may be other ways to attain calmness. Enter An Altered State of Consciousness After calming your mind, start to pay more attention to your senses and feelings and sensations around you. We do this by entering a light, altered state of consciousness. That means that we shift our mind away from all the day’s events and move to a clearer area of our mind. When we shift our consciousness, we can then become a medium to the spirit world. It’s in this altered state that we move away from the mind and start to become more aware of our senses. We can feel, sense, smell, hear and know, possibly allowing us to connect with loved ones after they’ve passed. When in a light altered state of consciousness, we may find that we are receiving information, which is quite possibly information from the spirit world. I cannot guarantee that you will connect, but I will say it’s possible that anybody can connect if we do not allow our minds to interfere with the calmness while maintaining a light altered state.  What It’s Like To Connect With Loved Ones After They’ve Passed When I connect with loved ones after they’ve passed, I just sit, push away my worries, and let whatever information and feelings flow to me. I know that some of the information, often encouraging, will be my family. After a while, one may find that there is a peace and a knowing when spirit is around. For each one of us it can be a different experience.  Maybe I feel spirit while you may smell spirit with a recognizable scent, or maybe we feel the spirit around us in a different way.   For myself, I know when my brother is with me by just knowing. He will all of a sudden enter my thoughts and drop his name to me. He will do this especially when I was not thinking of him at the time. He will come into the essence of my aura and drop ideas and thoughts, but more importantly he gives me much needed love and a bit of shove when I am encountering difficulties in my life. My final thoughts for you are that, anytime you are thinking of your loved one, know that they may be near to you. It is understandable that you would want to connect with loved ones after they’ve passed as I must say, the love from our loved ones is so helpful when we experience difficulties and challenges; they often are the ones who are cheering us on and loving us every day. I know this from my own experiences of going through difficulties and challenges – my brother would always be there. Just know that the love from the spirit world is always around us, and they send much love, hugs, and blessings for all of us. They are there when we need, and wish to send love to you as much as you want to send love to them. Love from the spirit world is an amazing and generous gift.

Why do I have dreams about deceased loved ones?

I believe it is possible to communicate with spirits in dreams, and so I was asked recently: what does it mean to have dreams about deceased loved ones? This is a great question. I have experienced and do believe that we can communicate in our dreams with individuals who have passed – our family, friends, and pets. In my experience when I have dreams about deceased loved ones, they show themselves quite vividly, often healthy looking and with much love.  In particular, there are two dreams I’ve had that stand out for me. Both dreams were very impactful; one was of my brother, and the other of my grandfather. When my brother came to see me years ago in my dream – well before I became a medium – he arrived as a bright vibrant person wearing a bright white shirt and jeans, almost glowing in his appearance. In the dream, he loaded my luggage into the back of an Aerostar van (that’s an old one!) and told me telepathically that I was going to be okay.   I have shortened the full extent of the dream, but the message there was that I was changing, life was changing for me and he was helping me pack up and he was there to support me. I always knew this was his spirit communicating with me and a few years later I understood the significance of it.  When my grandfather came to me in a dream, I did not recognize him it until it was morning. He had his 50’s glasses on, and we were flying over our small town. Then we were in Disneyland and I was lost sitting on the side street with so many people.  He was right beside me.  He gave me a teddy bear and told me that I would be okay.  Again, there is much more to this, however the result of my grandfather coming to see me was that I was lost, and I would find my way.  At the time this was in fact true for me, and I can see why I would get a teddy bear from my grandfather.   My grandfather was so young and energized, lovely to see, and his facial features were the same but youthful and plump.  Both spirits were both supporting me in a none-verbal way and providing me with information about my life.  They didn’t necessarily communicate with me in my dream as one would expect; instead, they were a presence and they communicated through their eyes and thoughts. Both assisted with enlightening me about the meaning of my life. They also showed me my struggles, and what opportunities were in store for my future.   Do you have dreams about deceased loved one? If you have dreams about deceased loved ones, this is what I call a Visitation dream, and you may find that these dreams are quite different than our “normal” action packed dreams, or typical scary dreams, or other challenges and adventures that we encounter in our dreams. Some dreams we wake up and we wonder what was that all about! The dreams I had of my brother and grandfather were Visitation dreams. There are also dreams that are different than Visitation or regular dreams, where we may receive information from our higher consciousness. I call these Subconscious dreams. I’ll give you an example. I dreamed once that my teacher gave me a plump, beautiful, healthy, pig. Yes, she gave me a pig in my dreams!   But when I woke in the morning, I could not figure out why this pig was given to me.  It was a startling dream to say the least.  However, when I looked up the meaning of pigs in dreams, I found that a pig is often a sign of change, generally good ones. Especially if the pig is healthy, you might experience some new business success or career progress.  Isn’t that awesome! And in fact – this dream came about during my mediumship training and unfolding into something more, so I now look back on my beautiful pig as an inspiration of positive change.    I believe that there is a big difference between Subconscious dreams where you connect with your higher self, and Visitation dreams, where you may have dreams about deceased loved ones. The difference is in the vividness and the absolute beauty of our deceased loved ones during a Visitation dream. When our loved one comes to see us in dreams, it is often during a time in our life when we need their help.  But man, oh man, they are the most beautiful dreams! Because you can feel them right with you right with you.  Once a person wakes up from dreams about deceased loved ones, there is often a feeling of knowing that your family was with you. I have met others who were slightly shaken because of the vividness and they didn’t really know if it was their family spirit or not.  After listening to their stories and their experience, it is often with gratitude and thankfulness that I can assure them that a loved one was with them in their dreams. So, to answer the post’s question of what does it mean to have dreams about deceased loved ones – it means that your family is with you, and they are sending you love and support at a time in your life when you need it most. And they may even enlighten you about other things like your purpose, your struggles, or what’s to come in the future for you. On the other hand, I believe some of our “regular” dreams are our higher selves telling us something about our lives that is about to happen, or our higher self is coming to us at a time when we are working through difficulties and change in our lives. When our family visits us in dreams about deceased loved ones, it feels very real,  amazingly vivid, and a connection that unlike any
