Well, there also is the possibility that it seems no one is willing to just SAY OUT LOUD.. maybe people who are gone CAN pass back through in dreams.. maybe they are here all around us, but behind a veil. Maybe they come through in dreams?
teekay2020, I think Frued would have been horrified by this thought. I have no doubt, though, that departed souls (especially loved ones) do come to us in dreams. They come to give us messages, warn us about something, or just to let us know they are ok and at peace.
If you go through this forum, you will find many others who believe the same. Often people will not openly discuss these types of dreams or visitations because it can be too personal - but, it does happen.
Departed souls are here, all around us. They may be behind veils until someone, the one they are seeking will acknowledge them.
