Some people dream, some don’t, or at least they don’t remember doing so.
But do dreams mean anything? Well, while people are convinced dreams are a form of messages received by forces we are unable to see or feel while wide awake, some scientists claim that dreams are simply a result of neuronal processes taking place within our brain.
While we are asleep, our brains are anything but.
Sometimes, dreams happen as a reflection of the day that passed, and other times they represent our fears. But what does it mean when we dream of a deceased person?
These dreams can be seen as part of the process of grieving or a transition that takes place in our own life. According to Healthline, it has to do with the latter.
These dreams are common when we experience certain changes, such as getting a new job, moving places, or meeting someone new.
What is most important than the dream itself, however, is how it make us feel.
Rubin Naiman, who has a Ph.D. in psychology, spent years of his life studying sleep patterns and habits. According to him, “Dream interpretation is about decoding the dream. It enlightens us and expands our awareness psychologically, [offering an] expansion of consciousness.”
So, dreaming of someone who is no longer alive may be related to the changes mentioned above and how those changes affect us.
”A lot of contemporary neuroscientists believe during REM sleep, the brain is involved in maintenance tasks, and it accidentally ‘kicks up dust,’ visually. At that end, dreaming is considered totally meaningless.” On the other hand he explains, “The other end is that dreaming is more substantial than waking. And we see this in ‘dream cultures,’ such as the indigenous people of Australia, who believe dreaming is intrinsic to our spiritual existence.”
Experts place these dreams into four categories.
- First, dreaming of a deceased person may be interpreted as the brain trying to work through the pain of the loss.
- If we hadn’t made amends with the deceased person before their passing, we may feel guilt and that might be the reason why they visit us in our dreams.
- According to Lauri Loewenberg, a dream analyst, we may be dreaming of a deceased person if we see some of their behaviors, such as substance abuse or else, in ourselves.
- There are experts who believe that these dreams represent a visitation from the deceased person, especially if we see them in a good condition in our dream, meaning they are well dressed or seem happy. If we feel good about the dream, it may mean that the deceased person says ‘Hello.’
No matter what we feel about dreams, the truth is that they offer something deep and meaningful. They often give us insight into the soul and our connection with the deceased person that we see in our dreams.

Aniston, who was formerly estranged from her mother, thanks her for “showing me what never to be” as they talk about how important it is to let go of “toxic” feelings.
Aniston said, “growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe,” as a means of learning how to deal with life’s disappointments in an interview with friend Sandra Bullock for Interview Magazine in 2020.
Observing certain facets of human nature and witnessing adults treat one another viciously made me decide that I didn’t want to do that. I don’t want to be that person. I don’t want to continue experiencing this sensation in my body right now. I want no one else I connect with to ever feel that way. The actress from Just Go With It continued, saying, “I guess I should give my parents credit for it.You can either say, “You got lemons?” or vent your rage or martyrdom. Let’s get some lemonade ready.
It was difficult even outside the family.
Aniston said, “I don’t know why, but I was one of those kids who got kind of bullied.”
I was one of the kids that the other kids picked on to make fun of. The fifth, sixth, and seventh grade years were unusual. Because I was a little overweight, I was just that kid.
Most of the time, it felt like her mother was hurling lemons at her.
“I had to do long-overdue personal work, parts of me that hadn’t healed since I was a little kid,” Aniston stated.
She became upset easily. I find that to be unacceptable. We’ll talk about [things] if I’m upset. I swear I won’t ever cry out or lose my temper like that. Aniston continues, not realizing how beautiful she is, “She was critical.” She was really critical of me. She was a model, which is why she was beautiful. I wasn’t. I never was. It’s okay because, to be very honest, I still don’t view myself that way. She was also really cruel. She used to hold grudges that were so insignificant to me.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the Horrible Bosses actress claims that she never lived up to Dow’s demands and that their correspondence ceased for a while.
Aniston says, “I did not turn out the model child she’d hoped for,” expressing empathy for the little girl’s desire to be acknowledged and loved by a mother who was overly consumed with trivial matters.
Aniston stopped corresponding with Dow when her mother published her autobiographical book “From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir” in 1999. According to rumors, the celebrity went insane at her mother’s breach of privacy.
In fact, Aniston was so upset that she forgot to invite her mother to Brad Pitt’s 2000 wedding; but, after their divorce, they were able to reconcile.
Nonetheless, it was reported prior to Dow’s death that she hadn’t seen her mother in a while. Dow had already suffered two strokes.
But her relationship with her father was totally different.
She continued, “He thought I was going down the road of absolute destruction and heartache” with reference to pursuing his acting career. And I felt like our relationship was very different once he had something to chat to me about. It asked, “Are you an actor?” I’m a stage performer.
Aniston is far from just a showman.
One of the most paid performers in the industry, Aniston owns the haircare company LolaVie, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Primetime Emmy, a Golden Globe, and has been consistently ranked among the world’s most beautiful women. She also established Echo Films, a production company that makes movies in which she stars, such as Dumplin, The Switch, and Murder Mystery 2.
A Daytime Emmy lifetime achievement award was given to John in June 2022, just before his death. In a taped segment, his daughter presented him with the prize and praised his many years of performing experience.
And after her father passed away, the comic posted a heartfelt picture of him holding her as a newborn on Instagram. The Friends star writes, “Sweet papa.”Anthony I have never met a more beautiful person than you, John Aniston. That you gracefully and effortlessly ascended into the sky is greatly appreciated.I swear to adore you forever. Do not forget to pay a visit.
She also reconciled with her mother before her death.
“I made my mother and I right. I apologize to my dad. She says, “I’ve offered my family my forgiveness,” highlighting the importance of appreciating every moment, no matter how wonderful or bad.
It is essential.That anger, that bitterness, is toxic. I learned it from watching my mother never let go of it. I seem to have said, “Thank you for showing me what never to be,” at the moment. That’s what I mean when I say that, given what they have given us, we should try to find ways to honor the less joyful moments and the darker occurrences in our lives,” the speaker said.
How modest and yet incredibly talented is Jennifer Aniston! It’s always interesting to learn about a celebrity’s past and see them as everyday people. We hope Aniston has found some peace, but even so, we’re sorry to hear that she and her mother didn’t get along.
