My dad died in an accident when I was 13. I only had two dreams with him in them that stood out to me.
One was not long after he died and it was like from a horror film. He was sitting in a chair with his back to me and was slowly turning around. Once he did I could see that his face was decomposed.
For some reason it didn't really freak me out or bother me. I think my 13 year old mind had been thinking about death, being buried in the ground, etc but my faith was in the fact he was not in his body but was in heaven.
The second time was so real it is still haunting. I was engaged to my wife and had been thinking a lot about how I wished my dad could have met her. One night I dreamed my wife and I were shopping in a mall. We had seperated and were in different stores.
I ran into my dad and was so excited to see him. I was saying to him 'Oh, you have got to meet my fiance! I have been so wanting you guys to meet". It was as if he was having to go and I was frantically looking through the throngs of people for her so I could yell at her to come over and meet him.
Of course I couldnt' see her and then he was gone. It was a very profound experience I can still relive to this day as if it happened yesterday and not about 28 years ago.
I have not seen any "ghosts" of loved ones although I have seen what appeared to be a ghost at the previous house we lived in after teasing my wife because she saw it multiple times. When a repairman who lived on our road first came to our house to work he asked my wife if she had "seen the ghost" which freaked her out because she didn't know the prevous occupants had also.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
I have heard of this happening to several folks I know.
One recently was in a dream they had.
I never have thought about it being in a dream as being "real" but I guess that it could be also.
I remember you telling us about that house.
Did you feel more peace after that dream and do you think it was the Lord letting you know your father could see your wife?

Had a long conversation with my Mom, a few weeks ago.
Oh. Wait. Never mind. Still alive.

I dreamed a very vivid dream about my mom after she died. I was about 16 I think. But I didn't attribute it to a vision, just a dream.

I have heard of numerous stories of this happening where people saw or felt loved ones immediately after their death, but it was always in the sense of them saying goodbye. I have not heard specifically of someone coming BACK weeks, months, or years later.
But then this brings up the whole issue of "hauntings". Speaking of which, Ghosthunters is on tonight.....
I am certain that my 2 year old talks to my mother. My mother died in December and my daughter and wife barely made it to TN in time. But often she will be jabbering away and you ask who she is talking to and she says 'Gram' which is what we taught Delaney to call my mother. She will point to different places in the house like a room or corner or whatever and she will say "Hi Gram." So I am certain it can happen not certain why. Maybe my mother is a guardian angel to my daughter, if there is succh a thing.
