How to Talk to Dead People in Dreams

Keep a journal handy to record what goes on while you are sleeping.

Thanks to the popularity of psychics such John Edwards and Lisa Williams, more and more people are interested in communicating with the dead. You can spend years in training to become as accomplished as professionals, or you can use your own dreams as a way of communicating with loved ones who are no longer on the earth plane.

Difficulty:

Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Dream journal
• Pen
• List of questions
• Nightlight

1. Prepare your sleep space to begin your quest to communicate with the dead via dreams. Your bedroom should be dark and without the possibility of interruption.

2. Play relaxing meditation music if you feel it helps you relax quickly into a dream state. If you choose to play music, be certain that the music has no dramatic spikes in sound or intensity, as these may wake you up.

3. Place a dream journal, pen and nightlight next to your bed. Date the journal entry and create a list of questions or topics you hope to discuss in your dream. The purpose of this exercise is simply to set your intent--the intent being clear communication with a specific person who has passed from the living to the world of spirit.

4. Say a simple prayer of protection before drifting off to sleep and ask the person with whom you wish to communicate to appear in your dreams. Be open to receiving communications in varying ways; for example, your dream may be filled with a conversation with a dead person or the dream may be filled with images, colors or symbols. As an example, the dead person may say to you, "I can't get through to your mother, she isn't picking up the phone." Obviously, there is no spirit phone--but it's the dead person's way of saying that they're coming to you because the other person isn't open to communicating with the dead.

5. Write every detail of the dream in your journal when you wake up. The more you write, the more of your dreams you'll remember in nights to come. Be as detailed as possible, including names, smells, sounds, colors, actions, questions, conversations and time of day or year.

6. Continue with the same steps and the same questions nightly if you didn't get the answers you want the first night of dreaming. Give yourself the opportunity to develop this new communication vehicle; as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. Like all new things, communicating with the dead in dreams takes practice.

7. Pick someone else you'd like to contact if you don't get results after several nights of attempting communication with a dead person. It's possible the dead person doesn't want to communicate or possibly has already reincarnated and is back on the earth plane.

Tips & Warnings

• Be respectful of the dead. They are communicating with you because they choose to, not because you demand it.

• Ask your spirit guides to protect you during your dreamtime.

• Tell your spirit guides that no one of a lower entity is allowed into your vibrational field.

• If your attempts to communicate with the dead result in nightmares, discontinue trying to reach that person.

• If you feel threatened, surround yourself with white light, a prayer or a blessing.

• Do not drink alcohol or use drugs prior to your dream communication; both can attract lower entities.
