Dreams about people who have passed away are more common than you might think. These dreams, often called visions of the departed, happen to many people. They can feel very real and meaningful. A recent study looked at a lot of reports about these dreams. They found that most of these reports were published in the last decade. A big chunk of them came from the United States.The study also found that most of these reports used qualitative methods. This means they focused on personal stories and experiences rather than numbers and statistics. The dreams often made people feel comforted. They felt like their loved ones were still with them. Some even felt guided or supported by these dreams. These dreams seem to help people deal with grief. They can make the grieving process a bit easier. The study suggests that more research is needed. Different fields should work together to understand these dreams better. This could help us understand how people cope with loss in different cultures.
