Those in Spirit can communicate with you in your dreams. This practice is commonly referred to as the visitation dream.

The visitation dream refers to a distinct type of dream in which you are visited by your deceased loved ones for comfort, healing, and messages.

Dream visitations aren't limited to just Loved Ones.

Any Spirit can get in touch with you while you sleep.

This includes:

• People or pets you know who have crossed over

• Other deceased people, you have yet to meet and want to get your attention

• Deceased family members and friends of people you know on Earth, Spirit Guides and Angels

Spirit Dreams usually include an image of the Spirit, whether it be their whole body or just their face and messages to you that are applicable to your current life, often in the form of imagery in dreams.

Why do visitation dreams happen?

When we sleep, all our defenses are down, and our Spirit is free. 

We don't have any distractions from daily activities, radio, television, family members, work to do, or things to think about. 

Distractions usually prevent us from sensing, seeing, hearing, or picking up on the more subtle energy of those in Spirit. We also release our boundaries from fear, doubt, and question - at least until we wake up. 

It's an optimal time to visit those who may be closed off to visitations otherwise. 

Lacking a physical body, those in Spirit have a big challenge on their hands. Most people only notice or dedicate their attention to that which they can see. 

If you can't be seen, a Spirit may be hitting a brick wall when sending other, more obvious signs. Some may be too distracted, doubtful, or heavy in thought to notice or welcome it. 

In other words, where there is a will, there is a way with The Spirit World.

When a Spirit wants to get your attention or the attention of someone that you know, they'll resort to unconventional methods, if it's essential.

This is where the visitation dream comes in. 

While these dreams are common, it's not necessarily the preferred visitation method of most individuals in Spirit - especially the deceased.

When a direct awake interaction appears to be impossible, due to any number of barriers that can be released, those in Spirit head over to working to communicate with you in a dream state. 

When we sleep, our barriers to connection open, physically, we are at peace, so this gives the soul space to roam. It can be easier for Spirit to connect when you are in this state.

We are less busy and more easily interrupted. Our natural reflexive to talk ourselves out of believing and accepting what just happened, are virtually non-existent. 

When we wake for a moment, the message sinks in, and it has been heard.

We are most open, accepting, and welcoming of a dream - this is when Spirit will visit you this way.

So, some Spirits will try to communicate with you in your dreams, especially if they have a difficult time getting your attention any other way.

Have you been visited by a Spirit in your dreams?

It's highly likely they are currently or have made a bunch of other attempts to reach out to you, in different ways, in addition to your dreams.

They may have tried to send you other signs: 

• Gotten you to sense their presence

• Made some lights flicker in the absence of tree work or a storm

• Moved some stuff around or turned things upside down

• Messed with other electronics in your house 

• They may have tried to talk to you or say your name

A visitation dream is usually the last thing that your Guides, Angels and Loved Ones will use to communicate with you.

A dream visitation also is usually the first major sign you can see those in Spirit in many other ways if you open yourself up to it.

What does it mean when you see a dead relative in your dream?

Dreaming of transitioned relatives or pets? Usually, it is a sign of support, especially when they appear glowing or playful. If they appear intense, it can be a warning or an urgent message. 

If you think this is the case, I usually Ask for a Sign from Spirit to clarify. You can also find out the five most common messages from Spirit HERE. Read on in this post: Improve Clairvoyant Abilities: Top 6 Methods With Dreams
