the nite before last i had a dream about a friend who passed away when we were 20 yrs old. i had not seen him since high school when he died but it truely hurt to know he was gone. he had been shot by a female officer who claimed he attacked her. I have never believed that story to be true as he was in the marines and returning to base that nite.
in my dream i dreamt that i was going to a funeral for someone else that went to HS with us and my two closest friends were with me i remember seeing faces of people i haven't seen in over 10 years as we walked up to church at the doors ushering in the people was this friend that passed away when we were 20 the man behind me said oh i dont like him and i looked up to see who it was it was Ray and in my dream i was so excited to see him i ran up to him and hugged him and kissed him ans said u are dead he smiled and said no i am not i was just gone for awhile and no one missed me i said i did and held on to him. this part of my dream felt so real i have never felt anything like this before in a dream. he told me to go in and he would sit by me we went in and the church looked like a school setting he sat in front of me and i again kissed and him i was crying so bad in my dream that i awoke in tears as when i found out he died.it took me hours to calm down and i was not able to shake this feeling all day i went to his grave which i never had before actually no ones not even my family members who have gone. i left a white rose and cleaned it up a bit the weirdest thing is i could not remeber the date of his death it will be 1 month from yesterday when i when i had this dream he died in 97. i feel like he needed something from me and i dont know what. this has never happen before that it felt so real to see him i think about him here and there i first met him when we were in 7th grade. he always made me smile he was just a good guy. i am so confused as to why i had this dream last nite i wished he would come back but nothing. i just dont understand i honestly didnt even think he cared for me like i did him. Please someone help me with this dream the pain and joy i felt yesterday was so real..

Perhaps your friend is a metaphor for something that was recently taken away from you suddenly and you want it back---a job, career, or maybe something that got repossessed like a car? Did you experience the loss of something recently that may have been unexpected?

NO i actually havent lost anything recently. I have actually been doing very well lately. Thank you for your thoughts any perceptive helps. I just cant let this dream go it felt so real. I wish could explain in words better how it felt but i swear it was as if he was here right now.

Maybe there is just something in your life now that reminded you of something about him.

How old are your parents/grandparents?

Maybe the dream is just a message to you to cherish the people who are important to you and let them know you care for them while you still can.
