Have you ever talked to someone already dead in your dream and was able to express what was in your heart?

Lately, I’ve been dreaming about family who passed away. In the dream, I was not aware they were dead. These loved ones were my grandfather, my two aunts and my dog. Not in the same dream though but separate.

Waking up, I felt some regret not being able to realize I’ve already lost them. That I should have maybe talked to them in the dream. I wasn’t there when they died. Maybe it’s the regret, even guilt that make this feelings of longing to communicate more pronounced.

I wouldn’t mind being able to express myself to them. Say proper goodbyes and all that. Even in a dream. I would be ecstatic if they say something back.
