A Combination of a Visitation Dream and Unresolved Issues

We often dream in one or more dream categories; for instance, a health dream and solution dream. Therefore, it’s possible to have a visitation and unresolved issues within the same dream period. Why?

Let’s say you are having a dream about the past when your deceased mother was unsupportive and wanted you to stay with your abusive ex-husband. This dream came about because you still feel hurt and resentment that your mother believed your ex wasn’t abusive, instead of believing and helping you. Your dream becomes a beacon to your departed mom. Perhaps it’s for her own healing, love for you, or heavenly job to comfort you during your distressing dream. Your mom pops into the next dream scene to help you forgive her, thus bringing peace into your life.

This can also happen the other way. Your recently departed dog visits you in the dream to alert that she is okay; for a moment you feel peace and joy that Bella is in peace. Yet, because you haven’t grieved over Bella’s death, in the next dream scene you return to the memory of putting her down at the vet.
