Keep dreaming about dead loved one being alive

Often, when you dream of a dead loved one being alive, it’s because you miss them. Because of a lack of conscious feelings or experiences with this person, your subconscious tries to fill what isn’t there anymore. Dreaming of a person who has passed away is a way in which your subconscious tries to help you feel close to them again. In addition, when dreaming about someone who has died, it may also mean that you’ve not quite completed your grieving process and that your subconscious mind is trying to comfort and help you get through this difficult time.

Keep dreaming of a co worker

If you dream of a co worked repeatedly, we need to distinguish whether this dream is a positive or negative one. If this dream holds a negative connotation, it may be a way in which you are trying to expel work stress related directly to the people you work for or with. Sometimes, however, the reason is simple and you’re dreaming about work because you’re working too hard! Having work-related nightmares is actually incredibly common and it makes sense, considering how much time and energy we spend stressing about it. As we mentioned before, we often dream about our daily experience as a way for our brains to digest them. Have you had a dream that you had sex with a coworker?

In addition, we spend a lot of time with our coworkers and therefore, sometimes it’s normal to dream about them with it holding no significant meaning.
