Can dreams be messages from those we love who have passed on?

Question

Could you help me to understand this dream? In this dream my sister came to me crying and carrying a beautiful red poppy and a yellow daisy but both dripped blood when I took them from her hands and turned to ashes. What could this mean please help she was so sad.

Answer 1

I don't know about the red poppy, but I do know that a daisy represents youth and innocence.  Perhaps it is because she was stripped of her youth and died too young that the daisy dripped with blood is representing.

Answer 2

Oh no! This is so catastrophic! Flee I tell you! Flee to the mountains now! Don't ask questions and don't turn back till you see the your shadow come from behind to the front! Do it now!

Answer 3

maybe a death in the family that sounds really creepy.

maybe something bad is gonna happen and whoever is responsible for it will have there blood on there hands but it sounds like death.

Answer 4

my whole life has been Ten Thousand dreams but only 3 visions

My experience says that dreams can be manipulated forged and falsified!

Not all familiar IMAGES (spirits) are truly the images of people that have lived and died.

but in my experience also! it seems a few people that i know that have died have come back in the images of dreams. One of my best freinds came back and showed his anger to me! but did he realize that I did not have full control of any ofmy dreams. sometimes when dreams happen, they happen without choice and sometimes dreams happen because of pre conditioned and pre sub conscience manipulation.

more correctly a person can be tortured and/or tricked into making decisions that are completely against the conscience will of a person who believes in not hurting anyone.

thank you for this question

Answer 5

I am going to list a couple of things but please correct me if I am wrong.

- Your sister passed away in a not so pleasant manner.

- You are not having that closure yet.

After you confirm the above, I will continue my answer...

Add:

I think that although your sister's death was expected, your sister also felt the hardships you were going through. This is the reason why I thought that your sister's death was not so pleasant. She may have died peacefully beside her husband just as she wanted, but that's all she could do to make you feel "comfortable" under the circumstances. She understands that you are still mourning for her. Mourning on her death is not a good thing, as symbolized by those bloody flowers. Your sister is trying to show you that. If you start really accepting the fact that she's gone, not forget, but to go on with your lives with a smile, it's only then that she'll rest in peace, and you will achieve that closure.

Answer 6

I had a goose bumps.

I don't know. sorry.

Answer 7

dreams are personel, only you can know their meaning.

Answer 8

Dear Sandey,

  Grieving is a really deep process ( I have had to bury an infant daughter) and I had dreams after her death of various things like this.  However, I believe that we have to carefully consider whether "the dead" are trying to send us messages, comforting or not.  You mention "The Lady" who I am assuming you mean is Mary, Mother of God, so I'm also assuming a Christian faith is present here.  God says things are clearly from God or against God.  When the robber on the tree died, Jesus said "Today, you will be with me in paradise."  He did not say you will be floating around communicating with those who are here.  Demons can take the form of people and give us false information, information they have, that we don't since they travel where we have not been. Beware of believing whether visions or dreams are truly from a deceased person.  

  Death and greiving can bring on really poetic imagery in our minds. Write out some of these things, they are beautiful and represent separation and life, and ultimately, the ashes or dust that we return to.  If she is in heaven, she is truly NOT sad.  It helped me greatly to read about heaven and find our more about where my daughter was.  If your sister did not have a saving faith, perhaps that is where your sadness is coming from.  You can only find the answers in your knees in solitude with God and in His Word.

  Whether there is a "message here", think about this before you consult further.  If you are a Christian (or not) the Bible clearly states in Deuteronomy 10:11 that no one is to consult a spiritist or medium for anything, that it is detestable to God.  Death is final and when we die with are either with God or in eternal separation from God (read the story of the rich man and lazaras (Luke 16:19- , www.biblegateway.com).  Messages are either from your memory, from a demon, or from God.  Many will disagree, but through my experiences, I find it is best to let these dreams, no matter how disturbing, be turned over to God in prayer.  The best you can do is work on your own faith condition. Your sister's earthly life, though precious, is over.  The best way to overcome grief is to reach out to others, talk to them about her memory, help others who grieve as you do.  

  Her last words could certainly be true.  It's exciting to think about who will usher us "home" when God comes for us.  

Answer 9

Well dreams like these are hard for people to interpret, but a lot of times in your dreams you will represent yourself by someone who you are very close to or someone who is similar to you.  This could be showing you that your sadness that you have for your sister can't last forever hence flowers wilt and ashes are evidence that something was once there.  This could have been a manifestation of your own mind though it could be your sister coming to you to show you she is sad because of your sadness and that your sad thoughts of her death should not wreck the beautiful things in life such as the red poppys and yellow daisys because that is exactly what those thoughts will end up doing. I very much believe that things like that happen in dreams.  There is no boundaries to dreams, time does not exist so therefore why can't you time travel or travel between worlds or planes when your dreaming.  Your mind is like a satilitte receiving and sending signals and everything sends signals from everywhere it's just that they are probably easier to pick up in your dream state.  Of course that is just one of my theories I threw in there and you can take from it what you like.

Answer 10

Dear Sandey, The Ancient Greco-Roman used the bright scarlet color ed poppy as a symbol for the promise of resurrection after death.  I believe the poppy Debra handed you signified she is now in heaven.  A daisy is a symbol of innocence and loyal Love. Debra was both innocent and loyal.  I know our Debra was creamated. Possibly the reason for the ashes.  The blood could represent the blood of Christ.

I feel she was crying because she died at a time that should have been the prime of her life.  Debra was not afraid to die, however it broke her poor heart to leave her beloved sons without a mother and her husband without a wife.

Bless you for helping to take care of the boys and Tom.

Answer 11

If you read some Sylvia Browne books, you will have your answer.  Our loved ones say goodby to us on their way "Home" in different ways.  Your sister said goodby in a way that she knew would touch her husbands heart.  Here on Earth, we live by Earth Laws, but once we leave, it's a whole different set of rules/laws.  Read on life after death, and you will get some resolve.  Open your mind to you sister communicating with you in the future, and you will be very surprised, that you may get a message/messages from her. We will see all our loved ones when we get Home.  

Answer 12

Yes I believe that people who have passed can communicate with us through our dreams.  I have had that happen myself, but the message was very clear.  I don't believe that they can communicate with us through others though (ie mediums).  I believe, that if a loved one needs to get a message to you, that they will come directly to you.

If she is trying to get a message to you, you will most likely have the dream again, next time ask her what she is trying to say.  

Another thing I would try is to pray about it, ask the Lord to help you see what it means, and if it means anything.  

The problem with dreams is that they can just be our subconscious working out our concerns, or they can be something real.  It is sometimes hard to know.  

Edit**

Kychick may be onto something.  I believe that when we die we take our personalities with us, and our emotions.  I believe that those who die, also grieve their separation from those they love.  I believe that they worry that we will not be taken care of, especially if she had young sons.  

Have you discussed this with her husband?  If you think he is in a place to discuss such things, you may ask him about it.  Maybe he is having similar dreams and together you can figure it out.  Maybe she has visited him and given him a message, than can help you interpret the dreams- I don't know.  

I would be cautious of going to psychics and mediums who claim they can converse with the dead.  I believe most are phonies and those who are not, don't converse with good spirits.

Answer 13

No, dreams are just your thoughts and imagination running wild while you sleep. Nothing more.
