Dreams and Grief

Dreams and Grief
What does it mean to us when we dream about a person in our life who has died? Sometimes we are working to understand the loss or move forward from it. Sometimes we are plagued by the need to know that they are ok. Sometimes we hope for just one more moment, one more time to feel as if they are with us. Whether our dreams are positive or negative, they are significant. Joshua Black had a dream after his father died that changed his grief. His dream was comforting and led him to feel more at peace with his loss. This led to a deep desire to understand grief dreams. He changed directions, getting a PhD based on research and writing into grief dreams. He originated a podcast, Grief Dreams, to explore with others they dreams. His own experience led him to a passion for the subject and has made him a world recognized expert in the field.
