While I do tend to dream about loved ones around the significant dates in their lives, it's nothing I put into the category of 'crazy dreams'. I can't say why this happens to other people, but I know that I dream of them because they've been in my conscious waking thoughts around those dates.

Same here. That's when I'm most likely to be thinking about them. so I'm not surprised that that's when I am most likely to dream about them.

I've never had a crazy dream about a loved on, only nice ones. And the dreams are so real, that when I wake , it's me that goes a little crazy when reality hits that the departed are no longer here.

My dreams are not confined to significant dates associated with the loss of a loved one. Memories of them are triggered by words, locations and of course photograph albums. Any one of these things, and countless others besides, can be the springboard for my dreams.

The funniest dream I had was of a telephone conversation with my mother, who was insisting I go to the supermarket, buy groceries, and take them to her when I finished work. Nothing funny in that you might think. I can laugh at it now, but that day when I finished work, I went to the supermarket. Being unfamiliar with the items I recalled from the phone call, I had to trail up and down the aisles to locate the products. Two hours later I had everything packed up and paid for and loaded into the car.

On the drive to my mothers house I suddenly remembered she was dead, and had been for eight years! You can imagine how dreadful I felt, and how stupid! I had all these groceries that I didn't need or would be able to find a use for, so I did the only thing I could do, I took them over to my aunt, and put them in her cupboards.

I dream about my mother often. Sometimes they're just dreams, and other times it seems like I'm communicating with her from the other side. I'm actually a bit disappointed that I haven't felt her presence more, since we were both into the paranormal and she'd had an NDE when I was a child.

I have dreams of my father too, but in everyone none of them related to what we ever did in real life, but none the less they are pretty realistic. Not only that but in every dream he is still alive. In some not only is he alive but not even sick or never was sick. sometimes he is still alive but still sick and we somehow managed to keep him alive.

In my last dream with him alive I remember there was this structure/building that is next to our house that belongs to a rich man. trust me this is not how it like in real life so I have no idea why I dreamed of it or what it was exactly. I know there was a weird machine on the yard that look like something from a Tim Burton movie. It been weeks so it hard to explain.

I don't even remember exactly what happened in the dream I just know he was in it and alive. I do remember the my family was in the building that belongs to the man who is unnamed, but I think there was mention of the guy dying. I haven't told anyone because I hardly tell anyone period about my dreams with my father in it even after finding out that my mother dreams of him too. I also remember wearing clothes that were quite old fashioned, maybe Victorian era something like that.

I can see why I would dream of him and not surprised that I do, but I don't understand why mine are quite weird and they aren't necessary about him or our life he is just in the dreams. Then again I do have a weird mind.

I dream about my parents often, not just around certain dates. And I wouldn't describe the dreams as crazy at all. In fact, if anything, my dreams are about me and my parents just doing normal, everyday things.

I do not remember my dreams (one has to be able to sleep in order to have them, and since I suffer from insomnia...), on the rare occurance that I do, I am the one who tends to go crazy. The ones that I do remember are...very realistic and when I wake, I spend a few moments trying to figure out if it was a dream...or not. We usually dream of something that we are thinking about prior to sleeping. The dream process has been described as the brain being a huge filing cabinet and it is using the daily/nightly sleep cycle to process what is important, needs to be saved and what can be "recycled"..the result is our dreams.

About the part about waking up n wondering if it happened or not been there done that. Just recently thought for awhile I could ride a motorcycle or have seen a bald eagle up close in a park.
