When you are healthy and a loved one or friend who has died appears in your dream, he or she may be someone you are grieving or miss a great deal in your life. They often appear to let you know that they are happy or at peace. They may be coming to let you know that you don’t need to worry about them, and that they still hold a great deal of love for you. They may even appear to let you know that old grudges or regrets are gone between you. Again, it is important to unearth associations the dreamer has with the deceased person who appears in the dream.
