Is it normal to see dead relatives in dreams?
I once had this dream about two years ago that I thought was really weird. I walked into the living room of this weird house and I saw a man, bout in his seveties with brown hair brown eyes. He was smoking a cigar. He then got up, walked right infront of me, looked me straight in the eyes patted my back and smiled. In the dream it the whole dream the room was really sunny and very bright. After he smiled, I woke up and had this weird tingling feeling in me. I thought this dream was weird, but just ignored it and went back to sleep.
It was only till bout six months layers when I was at my grandparents house I was looking thru old family pictures from the the fourties fifties and sixties. Then one picture caught my eye. In it was my dad when he was a newborn, and a man holding him that I felt I've seen him before. Then it hit me, it was the man in my dream. I literally shat a brick right then and there. I asked my grandmother who it was, and it was my great grandfather. I kept lookin thru them, and there were some when he was in the world war 1 and some where he was in college. He played four sports in college, and was a star in all of them. My whole family and cousins are athletes, including me, so we probably got the genes from him. He then went to the NFL in the twenties for a year for the steagles, then went to the war. I never met my great grandfather (before the dream atleast). He died twenty years be4 I was born. is it normal to have a dream like that?
