Hi everyone, for the last few months I've been dreaming about my deceased exhusband. I dont know why I'm dreaming about him. We have a son together. He's grown now. Last night while I was asleep, I heard his voice just as clear as anything call out my name...it woke me right up. I literally said out loud...why are you in my dreams and calling out to me? Are you trying to tell me something? Why, after all these year, am I dreaming so much about him? I haven't told our son, I don't really see any reason to. He is still grieving the loss of his father. Anyway, it's just beyond me why am I dreaming of my deceased exhusband.

I can't really tell you why you're having the dreams you're having. Perhaps there is material stored in non-conscious areas of your brain that is coming out in your dreams? And, if that is the case, perhaps what these dreams are telling you is that you have unfinished business you need to attend to. (That's just my non-professional take on the situation.) Here are links to 5 articles, from PC's archives, on the subject of dream interpretation. Hopefully some of the information in them can be of help:

Yes, I think you have unfinished business with your deceased ex-husband of some kind. Could be related to buried feelings you have about a conversation, or situation between you two in regards to your marriage or your son. I don't believe in ghosts or an afterlife and don't know what your religious or spiritual belief system is. If you are religious and spiritual, it could be a visit from your deceased ex-husband. If you are like me and are a non-believer, and tend to fall more on the science/psychological explanations for dreams, it could definitely be that you are still grieving the loss of your ex-husband in your own way. Grief takes on all sorts of forms for people and definitely displays itself in our dream state. Dreams are more than our brain self-cleaning every night. Our subconscious works out stuff while we sleep, that our conscious mind hasn't yet.

When I lost my dad and my best friend, part of my grieving process was to work out "stuff" with them in my dreams. I also talk to them aloud all the time, and this helps me process the loss still, years later. Keep a dream diary. Write down as much detail as you can remember b/c I guarantee you will see the same symbols used again and again. Symbols that your brain chose for your conscious mind to process, b/c it's your brain after all. I love discussing dreams. They often have layers upon layers of meaning.

My deceased exhusband and I had our differences, and they were pretty bad. But our son is in a difficult situation right now and I can't get through to him. I'm wondering if all my dreams and "hearing" his voice in my dreams is him trying to let me know that he is with me and supporting me in the ways I'm trying to help our son. I dont know, that's the only thing I can think of. Does that make sense to any of you?

If believing that your ex-husband is actually with you in spirit because that gives you more inner strength, then there's nothing wrong with believing in an afterlife. No one knows is there is an afterlife although many "psychics" claim to contact "the other side." Or, it could be your inner-voice giving yourself strength, using your ex-husband as a symbol. Hard to say. I am no expert on ghosts or the afterlife.

That's a good one. There is definitely some subconscious forces going on there, but what? Is it coming from him where he is now or is it coming only from feelings, attitudes within you? I suggest you pose that question then get still as in some meditative state. Then wait and see what might come to mind-could be a day later or more.
