Are you having dreams about your loved ones in the afterlife but can’t tell if they are visitation dreams or regular dreams?
Well, the key to distinguishing between the two, boils down to the dream experience.
Visitation dreams are vivid, emotionally profound, uplifting, and feel life-like. These dreams are heartfelt exchanges between you and your family members and friends in familiar places where you spent time together. They usually appear in the same physical form, but even if they don’t, you instantly recognize them.
1. You Are Filled With So Much Love And Joy
Visitation dreams from our loved ones in the afterlife are warm and comforting. They shower us with so much love and affection that all our worries seem to melt away. Being around them fills us up with so much joy and peace that we may carry this into our waking state.
2. Your Dreams Are Intense And Feel Real
Visitation dreams feel just like real life with all the senses kicking in. This divine experience looks real, the images a crystal clear, the colors are bright and intense, you can hear sounds or noises around you, you can detect the smell of fresh air, and you feel emotionally alive too. It is a full sensory experience, only you in the dream state. You may even have a hard time distinguishing if it really happened, or if it was a memory.
3. Your Dreams Are About You And loved ones
During visitation dreams, our friends and family want to connect and speak to us. The entire dream is usually about the two of you doing things normal things together. You may dream of spending time at home, having a meal at a restaurant, taking a stroll at the park, or spending the day at the beach. But other members of the family and household pets may also momentarily appear during the dream. This is your loved ones’ way of acknowledging other living friends, family members, and pets. It is their way of saying hello and sending them love.
4. You Telepathically Communicate With Them
You can hear your loved ones’ thoughts and have telepathic conversations during visitation dreams. Even though you may not know how to do this in your waking life, we all have this ability. The conversation feels effortless, and you understand everything they say. In regular dreams the communication usually involves an exchange of works, it isn’t telepathic communication.
5. Your Physical Interactions Feel Life-Like
As mentioned above, visitation dreams feel real. So much so that we can sense them physically touch and interact with us. We can feel them rush into our arms, feel our hands stroke their silky fur, and sense them licking our faces. Visitation dreams are multi-sensorial and will leave a lasting memory.
6. The Dreams Resemble Their Life With You
If you are expecting wild and crazy visitation dreams, think again. Our loved ones in the afterlife usually recreate dreams that are the same or similar to their experiences here on Earth. They simply want to spend another day in your life doing things together. So they choose to relive their favorite memories with you.
7. The Sequence Of Events Is Linear
Your visitation dreams follow a natural order and have a clear beginning and ending. The events logically unfold and lead from one situation to another. It may begin at home and then follow the patterns of your daily routine with them. Or it could take place at a meaningful location that is of significant importance for you and your relative or friend.
You Have Lucid Dreams Of Your loved ones
Some people experience vivid dreams when their deceased loved ones visit them. These feel different from regular dreams because you can control what happens in your dreams. This type of dream is extra special because the two of you can decide what happens next.
The Messages Are Positive And Clear
In visitation dreams, our deceased family members and friends always bring through clear and positive messages from the afterlife. They want to support and guide us in our lives in any way they can. But they may also come through to tell us they are ok, to say hello, or to let us know how much they love and miss us.
You Recognise Them Even If They Look Different
In visitation dreams, our loved ones usually look younger, healthy, and filled with joy. However, they can alter their physical appearance entirely, presenting themselves as a different person, including a change in ethnicity and gender. But even if they look different, we sense and know it is them. It may not make sense to our logical minds, but our soul recognizes their soul, and we know it is them.
Your Energy Is Uplifted During The Dream
You know you have had a dream visitation if you wake up feeling recharged and uplifted. Our deceased family members have a unique ability to improve our mood and support our emotional well-being. After the dream, you may feel grounded, your mind chatter will quieten, and your emotions will feel more balanced.
You Feel Their Presence When You Wake Up
After a dream visitation, many people sense things they may smell, hear, or even catch a glimpse of their loved ones upon waking. But you may feel their presence around you for several hours and even days after their visit. Next time this happens, acknowledge their presence and thank them for coming.
You Remember Every Detail About The Dream
Dream visitations always leave a lasting impression. Unlike regular dreams, you can remember everything. The feeling was so intense that you could describe every detail of the dream. You remember everything you saw, the emotions you felt, and the physical sensations you felt from the cold breeze.
You Experience An Aliveness Within
Most individuals feel an inner aliveness after reconnecting with their deceased relatives and friends. Some people sense it as an intense energy around their chest (heart chakra), whereas others may feel a vibration all over their body. This means that your encounter has raised your state of awareness.
You Feel Spiritually Connected To them
Sometimes, our loved ones come through in our dreams to support our spiritual development. They may send us intuitive downloads of knowledge, help us connect with our spirit guides, develop our psychic and mediumistic abilities, and show us memories from our past lives together. By developing these spiritual gifts, we become one with universal consciousness and enjoy healthier interactions with our friends, family members, and pets.
