Reading Request My dad died exactly two months ago, today is his birthday and he visited me in a dream
My dad passed away exactly two months ago, today is his birthday, and I just had a lucid dream with him in it. It’s the first time he’s “visited” me in a dream since his passing.
He was there and he was himself, like he had no idea that he’d died. And he started complaining about the usual banal stuff he would complain about. And my dog was there too, my dog who passed away two years ago. I hugged them both. It was so, so vivid — every detail about them was like it was in life.
Then I sat down on the ground with my dad, and he was talking about his leg and that he fell and that his foot was all messed up (he actually died because he fell and the shock of hitting his head gave him a heart attack). But anyway, in my dream he kept going on about his foot, and I just couldn’t keep it in anymore — I started crying and hugging him, and telling him how much I love and miss him, and that I wish he’d never died from the fall. He looked very surprised and like he didn’t understand, like he didn’t believe that he was dead and was confused at my words, and then I woke up.
I have no idea what it means. It made me feel like I broke some kind of fourth wall or something? I don’t know. I don’t know much about dreams or spirituality or life after death — my initial logical reaction is that my brain just conjured this because it’s his birthday and I’m grieving. At the same time, I’m not going to state that I’m an expert and that there’s no possibility of anything else existing.
So then my next question is, what could my dream have meant? Did my dad visit me? Did I break a spiritual fourth wall? Is he stuck in purgatory, thinking he’s still alive? Why was my dog there too? Was it all just me processing my grief?
