In my earliest classes, I used to reference Ann Faraday's book, "The Dream Game," a wonderful primer for dream interpretation. Still a favorite quote: "Dreams represent the unconscious giving us back what the heart recorded, but the mind rationalized away."
I enjoy observing the various and unique ways that apprentices receive their own intuitive information. One apprentice mentioned examples of her precognitive dreaming. She reported that she once a dream about...orange juice. A short time later, she read in the news that the Jews in the Israeli army (dressed in orange) were ousting other Jews from the Gaza Strip. (The dream was alerting her to — "Orange Jews!")
She also had a dream about — French fries! It was soon reported that the Algerians in France were torching cars in France...(France was frying!)
Here's a fascinating example that shows how incredibly responsive the unconscious can be — when we actually issue forth a specific request!

dream visit
What a timely post, as I had a most lovely dream visit from my soulmate last night, who is in spirit now. These visits don't happen as often as I would like; I am always teasing him, "come to me in a dream!" But of course those in spirit most often know what is best, and these precious visits in my dream state happen exactly when they should. It is absolutely amazing how vivid these dreams are, letting me know beyond a doubt that we are actually spending time together - it helps me to not miss him so much, when we can share these moments together.
Responsive Loved Ones!
How lovely, Kathy, sharing you account of visits with your loved one. They (in the "non-physical") are truly that accessible and available. I must say, that so much of the likelihood of him showing up has everything to do with your own state of mind when you invite him into your dreamworld.
In Heart-Links, I write about a client's (non-physical) husband who said something really beautiful (and true!) that I relayed to his grieving wife in a consultation: "You don't have to hold onto the pain — to hold onto me!"
And I'm always reminding clients — "If you want a loved one to come to you in a dream, let your last thoughts before sleep, be thoughts of gratitude! They create the frequency that lets them come through more easily!"
You certainly seem to prove this out, Kathy. I'd wager that your heart is full on the nights that you experience your visits — as opposed to when you might be feeling empty, alone and detached from love.
