Losing a loved one is deeply personal, and many cope through “visitation dreams,” where the deceased appear alive, healthy, and at peace. Patrick McNamara, a Boston University professor, suggests these dreams help process grief. A 2014 study found they provide comfort, while a 2016 study showed 70% of participants felt connected to an afterlife. Psychologist Jennifer E. Shorter identified key traits: the deceased appear healthy, offer reassurance, communicate telepathically, and the dream feels calm. Have you ever experienced a visitation dream?
