But you may be wondering why you’re dreaming about a dead parent or friend in the first place.

“That’s not the picture you want to be left with.

So God will give us the true situation of how they are now in heaven.

They’re healthier than they’ve ever been, they’re happier, they’re home.

It’s just one way God heals our hearts.”

This may be a comforting thought for anyone who’s religious.

It’s a chance for you to move on and see the deceased person in a happy light.

As Dr. Barbie Breathitt added, “A dream is a gateway, a doorway to the supernatural.”

And that message can be shown through your senses touch, smell, etc.

Yes, we know that sounds a bit creepy, but it’s true!

(And, before you think it: no, they’re not trying to haunt you.)

The deceased are trying to guide you to new paths in life.

Chances are, they’re trying to help you it’s up to you to figure out why.
