Are You Seeing Spirits In Dreams?

There are many reasons that people see spirits in dreams at night. In fact, the most common being they are being visited by someone they know from the afterlife who has a message for them.

To connect to spirits within your dream is not something anyone should be afraid of because it is a learning experience and a privilege. The types of spirits you may encounter include family members, pets, former friends, and even angel guides.

If you are seeing spirits in dreams, don’t be afraid. It is actually pretty common and has been for centuries. These are called visitation dreams and they often involve dreaming about someone close to you who has passed away.

In the dream, it may seem like the spirits are trying to tell you something or perhaps just comfort you. However, how do you really know what your dreams mean? How do you know why the spirits are there? 

According to clinical psychologist Dr. Jennifer E. Shorter, seeing spirits in dreams or having visitation dreams can be defined as “striking emotionally intense dreams in which a recently deceased loved one returns to provide guidance, reassurance, and/or warning.”  They are real and can bring much-needed love, joy, and solace to your life.

What is the cause of seeing spirits in dreams?

If you are seeing spirits in dreams they may not necessarily be part of the paranormal realm though. It could simply be a manifestation from your subconscious or a trick of your mind. Explanations for these dreams could be found in science or history, as well as in the supernatural.

One of the main causes for seeing spirits in dreams is stress. Our lives today are filled with a great deal of stress and anxiety. When we are under this much pressure, our minds often start to hallucinate and see things that aren’t really there.

If you want to decrease the chances of seeing spirits in dreams, try to take steps to reduce your overall levels of stress. This could mean anything from exercising more regularly or finding ways to cope with stress better. When your mind is more relaxed and calm, it will be less likely to project hallucinations in dreams.

Another possible reason for seeing spirits in dreams is that you may actually be experiencing an astral projection. This is when your spirit leaves the body while you are asleep and travels around on its own. Some people claim to have memories of their astral projection experiences, while others may just sense that something strange is happening.

If you think you may be experiencing an astral projection, there are a few things you can do to ensure that you return back to your body safely. First, it is important to relax and let go of any attachments you may have to your physical body. Simply let go and allow yourself to drift off on your own.

You should also try to find something familiar in the environment you are in, such as a tree or an animal. This can help provide some sense of grounding and stability as you begin to travel around on your astral plane.

Although seeing spirits in dreams can be incredibly unsettling, it is something that many people experience. Remember that there are steps you can take to help reduce the chances of this happening and make your dreams more pleasant overall.

Why do spirits use dreams to communicate?

When you are dreaming, you leave your conscious mind, and all its logic, behind. You are open for symbols, metaphors, and self-reflection that you may not see when you are awake. You may have to do a little dream interpretation work to understand the messages though.

Nina Kahn, a writer, and artist, has mused that “perhaps dreams allow a little opening in our consciousness for the mystical realm to slip through—offering us a time to experience enhanced clairvoyance, divine inspiration, and even messages from the dead.” 

She continued, “Scientists truthfully know so little about dreams or why everyone has them, so, creepy as it may be, it’s worth it to open your mind to the possibility that maybe spirits can visit people in dreams to deliver messages, warnings, and beyond.” 

How To Communicate With Spirits While Dreaming?

There are many different ways that you can communicate with spirits in a dream. One of the most common methods is to simply focus on the dreams that you have and try to remember as much as possible about them when you wake up.

Often, there will be some kind of spiritual presence or message from your subconscious that you can pick up on in your dreams. If you pay attention to these messages, you may be able to interpret their meaning and use them to better understand your spiritual path.

Another way to communicate with spirits in a dream is to use lucid dreaming techniques. Lucid dreaming is a state of consciousness where you are aware that you are dreaming and can control the dream environment.

This can be an incredibly powerful tool for communicating with spirits because it allows you to explore the dreamscape without any limitations. You can go anywhere and do anything in a lucid dream, so if there is a particular spirit that you want to communicate with, you can simply travel to their realm and start talking to them.

Finally, another way to communicate with spirits in a dream is to use meditation before bed. By clearing your mind of distractions and focusing on your dreams as you fall asleep, you can increase the chances that you will encounter spiritual beings or messages from your subconscious while dreaming.

Whatever method you choose, just remember to be patient and keep an open mind as you explore this fascinating world of hidden spiritual communication!

How do you know if the dreams are trying to tell you something?

When you wake up from a dream with a spirit in it and it feels so realistic, so intense, this may be a dream you should take note of. When your dreams seem uber visceral, they could have a powerful message for you.

These vivid, realistic dreams simply feel different than your normal ones. Pay attention to that feeling and what you remember about your dream. Be open to the idea that your mind is trying to work something out for you as much as it could be an actual spirit visiting you.

Have spirits always used dreams to communicate?

The short answer is yes! For centuries, there are cultures that have always looked at dreams as spiritual experiences. The inhabitants of ancient Mexican and Chinese civilizations believed dreams let them communicate with those who came before.

Those in ancient Rome and Greece understood that dreams could reveal guidance from God or other divine beings. Stories of spirits visiting dreams have been featured in traditional beliefs, traditional myths, and family histories.

The bottom line is that there has been a long record of believing in apparitions communicating through dreams throughout the world.

What to do if you are visited by a spirit in your dreams?

The first thing you should do is to keep your mind open. Be open to anything this dream is trying to tell you. Spirits can come to comfort you as well as to bring a message or warming you didn’t know you needed. Try not to be afraid.

If the energy around you is fearful or angry, conjure up the feeling of love. Know that you are in control of your dreams. If you wake up feeling scared, simply tell the negative spirits they are not welcome in your space. Send them away with love.

Bottom line: Seeing spirits in dreams should not scare you.

If you have had one of these significant, realistic dreams, know that you are not alone. You are one of the lucky ones who have been chosen to receive a message. Be open to the possibilities of what you are being told or shown. The message might not be obvious.

However, with some time, patience, and guidance, you can usually figure out what seeing spirits in dreams might mean for you. 

Signs Your Spirit Guides Are Talking To You

If you’re wondering how to communicate with spirits, one of the best places to start is by looking for signs that your spirit guides are trying to get your attention. Here are a few things to look out for:

1. You suddenly become interested in topics that you know nothing about.

If you find yourself becoming inexplicably interested in topics like spirituality, religion, or other metaphysical subjects, it could be a sign that your spirit guides are trying to get your attention. They may be trying to point you in the right direction for further exploration and study.

2. You have vivid dreams or memories of past lives.

Spirits often communicate with us through our dreams, so if you find yourself having particularly vivid dreams or remembering past lives, it could be a sign that your spirit guides are trying to reach you. Pay attention to these dreams and try to discern any messages or lessons that may be hidden within them.

3. You feel an inexplicable sense of peace and purpose when you’re around certain people or in certain environments.

Some spirits have the ability to make their presence felt in our physical environments, so if you find yourself feeling unusually peaceful or calm in certain locations, it might be a sign that there is some kind of spiritual energy at work.

Similarly, if you tend to gravitate towards certain people in your life who help you feel grounded and centered, this could also indicate that they are acting as messengers from the spirit world.

4. You start seeing repeating numbers or other patterns in your everyday life.

Spirits often communicate with us through numbers, so if you find yourself seeing certain number sequences over and over again (like 11:11 or 333), it could be a sign that your guides are trying to send you a message. Pay attention to what you were doing or thinking when you saw the pattern and see if you can interpret its meaning.

5. You have sudden, unexplainable urges to travel to specific locations.

If you find yourself feeling an inexplicable pull to visit certain places, it could be because your spirit guides want you to go there for some reason. It could be that they want you to meet someone important, or that there is some kind of message waiting for you in that location. Trust your intuition and see where it leads you!

These are just a few of the many ways that spirit guides can try to get our attention. If you’re wondering how to communicate with spirits, the best thing to do is simply pay attention to the signs and see where they lead you. With a little bit of open-mindedness and patience, you may be surprised at what you discover.

Todd says he used two good sized oranges to get about 6-8 oz. Wish we lived closer - my in-laws are always trying to get rid of fruit! It's come in quite handy w/the juicer. Btw, the Breville is a little known brand w/a great reputation. I got it on Chef's.com Sign up at www.memolink.com first, make your purchase through memolink and you can save up for nice gift certificates. Over the years, I seriously have earned AT LEAST $1000...not kidding!

Vera, one of my xmas gifts to Todd was a Breville juicer. We've been messing w/it for a week. we get free citrus fruit from his folk's trees so that is a money saver. It's kind of cool trying different fruits. Todd made an apple, carrot and celery juice combo that looked like watery dirt but actually tasted good, lol. Anyhow, maybe you guys would enjoy making your own oj

I'm sad I missed the video, but I completely understand. We moved into our new house about 6 months ago, so we don't need to rearrange just yet. But it is fun to rearrange, I was already thinking of rearranging my bedroom. lol

It's such a shame that people can't be trusted, but it's probably smart to take the video down.
