Dead friend

[Cdavis]

My best friend of 21 years was killed in a head on car crash last month. She was driving down the wrong side of the highway. She had a very high quality life up until the last 5 years...she lost her family,job and was drinking excessively. She has come to my dreams 3 times in the last few weeks. We are in a hallway and she is smiling. We have a huge hug and I can smell her perfume. I then start crying and tell her I miss her. She pulls away and it's not her. She never speaks. I was wondering what y'all thought. Thanks. -Carrie

Carrie - The first thing you must realise is that all things in dreams are like virtual reality. But that is how we work with communications. Your eyes take in streams of light that are translated into nervous impulses transmitted along the optic nerve. In the brain these nerve impulses are again translated into an image that enables you to have some relationship with an apparently external world. In the same way the nerve endings on your fingers transmit signals that are translated into sensation. Nothing is known directly. See http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/questions-2/#Symbolism

So your dreams about your friend are probably a communication with her, but mixed in with that is the influence of your emotions and its effect on her and her feelings effecting you. All of that goes into the making of your dream images.

I guess that is why she doesn’t appear to be the same person at the end of the dream. To find out for your self use http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/#BeingPerson

Hello Carrie,
When I see  people who have died in my dreams, I interpret it as a message. I analyze the relationships and associations that I have had with this person  .In your case, your friend  got into an accident because ".... She was driving down the wrong side of the highway."  On the basis of this it seems to me that her message to you is that the decision that you have made recently or some Projects you wanted  to start just before she came to you in a dream,is  not the right for you that is "wrong side of the highway ", wrong directions.
