Some people remember their dreams, while others either don’t dream or simply can’t recall them. But what do dreams mean? While many believe dreams carry messages from unseen forces we can’t perceive while awake, some scientists argue that dreams are merely a byproduct of the brain’s neuronal processes.

Even when we’re asleep, our brains remain highly active. Sometimes dreams reflect the events of our day, while other times, they represent our fears. But what does it signify when we dream of someone who has passed away?

These dreams can often be linked to the grieving process or a transitional period in our lives. According to Healthline, they may symbolize the latter.

Such dreams commonly occur during significant life changes, like starting a new job, moving to a new place, or forming new relationships.

However, more important than the dream itself is how it makes us feel.
