You don’t have to be a psychic medium to experience a heart-healing encounter with a loved one who has passed. In fact, you can feel their presence just about any time. But there’s one part of the day when it’s most likely to happen, and here’s why…
Souls in Heaven require a clear space in order to connect with you, energetically. That space is within YOU, and it’s not always available. Most of us are so preoccupied with work assignments, office politics, household chores, financial activities, and the dozens of small tasks and concerns that fill up an average day that there’s little room for Spirit to come through.
Spirits Visit When You Are Most Receptive
It’s not until after your head hits the pillow that your mind clears and an energetic space opens up in your soul. That’s when the spirit of a loved one may come and visit you in your dreams. So many people assume that when they dream of a loved one who has died, it’s not a “real” visit. Let me assure you that it is!
This is not wishful thinking or your imagination but a powerful healing experience known as dream visitations. During these dreams your loved one may come through with a message or you may just see them standing there. You can hug them, ask them a question or just soak in their presence. If you have had an experience like this, you’ve been officially visited by Spirit.
How Mediums Connect
If you’ve never had a deceased loved one reach out to you while you slept, or if you don’t tend to remember your dreams, it may help you to understand how spiritually gifted people, like psychics and mediums, pick up messages and insights. Whatever the time of day, mediums connect with the Other Side through thoughts and feelings.
What do those connections feel like? The closest I can come to describing the sensation is to say that it feels like a daydream. When I raise my vibration to connect with a Soul, it’s as if I’m here – yet not here. It’s like when you’re lost in your own thoughts and your mind wanders and suddenly you’re in another world.
When I’m getting ready to do a reading, I meditate and clear my mind of all the day-to-day thoughts like the items on my to-do list, the weather, bills, appointments, and what’s on the news. Meditation is like taking a big rake or shovel and clearing thoughts away, leaving a smooth clean path for the Spirit world to come through.
The Most Popular “Visiting Hours” Start When You’re Deeply Asleep!
When your loved one has something to tell you, they will work to find the best way possible to connect with you. While you’re in an open state, like after meditation or while you’re asleep, your loved one will take advantage of the opportunity and slip into your thoughts.
An ideal time for this is when you are in a deep, sound sleep, usually around 3:00-4:00 in the morning, when your mind has had time to open itself up naturally, leaving your loved ones with a “clear path” so they can visit you. A spirit visitation might be as simple as your loved one showing up for you, even if they say nothing.
Some visitation dreams are more intense. In this scenario, your loved one does more than play a passive role. They show up with a specific purpose, such as providing advice or warning you about something. These visitation dreams can happen at any time, but they may be more likely to occur during moments of grief or life transitions. While they’re happening you’ll have the sense that these interactions are real and that they contain important information.
Setting the Stage For Spirit Visitations
Because Souls in Heaven exist as pure energy, one way to encourage them to join you in your dreams is by putting something in or near your bed that holds their energy. Set their reading glasses on the bedside table or put their hat or tee shirt on your pillow – then before you fall asleep, think about them and send out a thought inviting them to visit you.
What if you don’t dream? Certain medications or sleep disorders can impede your ability to dream but that doesn’t mean your loved ones aren’t there! You might not dream, but you can still feel their presence, or see signs that they’re with you.
One Final Point…
I want you to embrace the idea that your loved ones can connect with you through dreams, but here’s one example where that isn’t the case. If you have uncomfortable dreams where your loved one is angry or confrontational, that is most likely coming from your own fear, guilt, or grief.
You might dream about your dad being disappointed because you sold the family home, or your mother being angry that you lost her wedding ring. The source of those dreams are your own thoughts. Take comfort in knowing that after they pass over, Souls in Heaven don’t care a bit about worldly things like real estate and jewelry!
Feel Closer to Your Loved Ones in Heaven
Knowing that your loved one is only a thought – or a dream – away can take the edge off of missing them, but sometimes you need a little nudge to truly feel their presence. Being around other people who are receiving messages can help you be more open to receiving your own signs and messages from Spirit.
People often tell me that when they attend one of my in-person or online events, whether they are selected to get a personal reading or not, they gain a deeper sense of their loved ones around them.
Check out my event page and give it a try! After soaking in the divine energy that occurs when Souls reunite with their loved ones through a medium, you might find that you see more signs, feel your loved ones around you more intensely, and experience vivid, healing dream visitations.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have had many dream visits by my late hubby. So Vivid! It’s been 12 years now and I remember the first dream visit very vividly.
The Dream happened about 3 months after his passing. I was sitting on our red couch at home, and he was sitting next to me. He turns and faces me and says, “Honey, we loved each other, right?” and my response was, “Of course we love each other because frankly, we’ve got much of nothing left”. He then taps my right shoulder and at the same time says, “Well then, I have to take you home now”. And POOF! I woke Up!!
I’ve gotten so many that I now have a dream journal next to my bed so I can write it down as soon as I wake up and the memories are still fresh.
The other most vivid dream was about 3 years after his passing. In real life, I had to get up early and check in on an elderly person to make sure his granddaughter was treating him right and I also had to take bonus son #2 to work.
After checking in on elderly man, my son#2 and I were headed to pick up bonus son#2. Came to an intersection with a stop sign. I look to my left and I see a white F150 driving crazy left to right all over the road… I think to myself, “OMG! That truck is Drunk!” So I back up from the stop sign in case he comes into my lane. Suddenly, a beat up OLD white Camaro pulls up next to me in the left Turning Lane. I think to my self, “OMG! That drunk truck is going to hit that Old Camaro!” As soon as I thought the car would be hit, a Fire Engine comes straight to the intersection and a man with a fireman’s coat jumps off the back of the truck and runs to push the Camaro out of the intersection so drunk truck doesn’t hit him.
I look over and suddenly, its now a NEW Model Camaro Convertible and there’s a young man driving it. I hear the young man say, “Thanks Dad!” and I Look over and it’s My Bonus Son#3 driving the now new Camero! Then I look at the man… OMG! Its My Husband David!
At this point I know I am dreaming.
I thanked him for saving bonus Son#3 and for coming to visit me and that I love and Miss Him. He then walks over to my car and leans in on the driver side rearview mirror and says, in a very Sarcastic Tone… “I only came by to tell you something, Hope is Not All but Lost” “That everything would be okay soon”. POOF! I woke up.
At that point in time, I was unemployed and deeply depressed. He was right, I did get a job soon after that. Hope was Not Lost after all. I am deeply grateful for those dreams. Some Silly, sometimes he just stands there smiling at me.
Friends think I’m crazy and made these up. Thanks, Matt, for this article. I know I’m not crazy and I can’t make up such detail.
Growing up my grandmother lived with us. I was the middle child and without hyperbole, my grandmother did not like me and never shown me any affection. It was only recently when I had children of my own and saw how my in-laws interacted with my kids did I realize how much I had missed out. She had always belittled me, never held me…nothing. It was difficult talking about her to my wife when I finally opened up and told her my story. I told my wife how I felt no emotion other than distain for my grandmother. One night I smelled Maja body talcum (my grandmother’s favorite). I heard her voice telling me I had every right to hate her and I was right all along. She held me tight and asked for my forgiveness…and with that I felt the hate melt away. I told her that I forgave her. I told her how sad it had been for me to have had a grandmother living with us and not interacting with each other other than getting yelled at for the stupidest reasons. But holding her felt great and we both cried… then my alarm clock woke me up for work. I mentioned this dream to my pastor and told him it was so glorious and I had wished the dream never ended. He told me that if I had not be awoken at that moment I never would have remembered the dream.
The story in a nutshell – I no longer hate my grandmother and I look forward to the day when I can hug her again.
I had a visit from my Aunt she passed away a few days ago…my stove kept going on and on…beeping…it was turned on set at 350* yep, I knew it was her…she was very playful…
My husband passed 4 years ago. We were married 54 years and best friends. He is in my dreams almost every night. My dreams are not full of symbolism. It’s like he’s really
here and we visit and go on one specific trip very often to a small town by the beach and aquarium. I know that he’s only with me temporarily and that he has to leave in the morning but I think he’s just going to work. I don’t know that he has passed until I wake up and then I have to tell myself he’s not really here. Sometimes before I’m fully awake I think he’s in the kitchen making breakfast and I hear clear as real he calls out “Barb” and that wakes me up. I wake myself up often speaking out loud to him. I feel like he is always sitting here beside me. We weren’t very social and did everything together. I miss being able to talk to him everyday and have discussions, share our thoughts and touch each other.
My son was killed in Oct. Of 2000. He use to send songs that only I could hear it was at Christmas time. I’ve been begging him to send songs again. Nothing. But I had a dream about him that was horrible he fell to his death. And his dad came to with his smell. I have tried to get an online reading but I wasn’t able to get on line before it started
I’m not a rich lady at 75 but I really would like for you to help me somehow. Can you help at all?
Faaaabulous! Thanks for sharing!! I don’t doubt one bit!
I had dreams. And vision of 2 family members at different times. That removed a heavy burden on me. I was able to move on with my life. Now my youngest son passed away suddenly we were very close im in so much pain
.I’m waiting to hear from him nothing yet.
I love your readings I went to your live event I didn’t get a direct reading.but something you said I think was about my husband he had a bad knee our dog died two months before my husband you said the dog was with him thanks for all your kind words.
Thank you Matt for all your kind words
My husband had passed about nine months ago when I woke up and felt I had to text my friend. She called me back to say at the exact time I texted her she woke up from having a visitation from my husband. He told her nobody dies and he is whole, happy and laughing and to tell me I was the only one for him and not to worry.
I don’t know why he came to her but I guess I was grieving so much he couldn’t get through to me.
Since then when I meditate he sends me flowers and hearts and I hear his voice telling me he loves me.
I sometimes have silly dreams with him in them. He was a joker and prankster on earth, so I think he is still that way.
I HAD MY FIRST DREAM OF MY LOVED ONE LAST NIGHT..IT WAS SO AMAZING. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. I HAVE SO SO VERY MANY LOVED ONES, THAT ARE GONE. IVE HAD DREAMS ABOUT THEM. BUT THIS WAS A FIRST DREAM I HAD ABOUT THE ONE THAT I HAVE NEVER DREAMTHED ABOUT. IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING DREAM.
I had 1 dream before my spouse passed and 1 dream after he passed so tragically . It was so unexpected. And I have 2 children with him . The dream I had a year before I will never understand because it was a dream that he did pass before he even passed just not in the way he did . I don’t know why I had a premonition dream. And the one after he was standing on a hill with a lot of people around him and I was smiling at him and so proud and the feeling was amazing and then I left and he was gone . I woke up . Now I don’t dream at all and don’t know why? Because I miss him dearly.
Don’t know where to begin.
In my life I lost 3 family members at one time.
I don’t want to tell you when or anything else about them. Because I want to believe you can help me and my daughter.
Then I lost someone else year’s later which made things worse for myself, my daughter and now my grandson.
When I have had dreams/ nightmares of the 3 that passed it is very weird.
I always ask please come to me.
Are you ok? Are you all 3 together?
But no answer just bad dreams/ nightmares.
When this other family member passed away years later,
I ask her to tell me are you all together and what happened?
After this person passed a couple years ago im pretty sure she came to me.
First time was a couple weeks after she passed. I hear in my head 3 loud knocks.
Then it was me waking up gasping for air.
I don’t know what to think other than Denise wake up and breath.
Second dream was I turned over in my bed but before I turned over I was asking her to rub my hand and fingers as she always did when driving in the car or just sitting next to her.
So I went to sleep crying myself to sleep.
I turned over went to sleep.
I woke up to a smell and her leaning down off my bed and felt her.
I could not go back to sleep. I smiled from ear to ear with this calm feeling and didn’t want it to go away.
Sorry so long.
But I have asked before when 3 passed away to come to me.
Never have they except bad dreams.
Then always asked this person that passed away almost 3 years ago to please tell me she is with them.
But nothing.
My family have suffered for yeats not knowing what happened.
I just want closure.
Please help me and my daughter.
My daughter is not well.
But she is getting better day by day.
I have been blessed to be at one of your events and learned so much from just watching you use your gift. I thank you and hope you come back again to Texas real soon.
I love the fact that you do this, but I wanna know is what does it mean when you dream about a deceased loved one? It’s not a visitation dream because I already had one of those.
Thank you Matt this helps me alot
I havn’t had a dream, my son passed suddenly two years ago, I would love to hear from him.
But a week after he passed I got into his bed, and I felt as if someone was sitting on my bed, then felt a faint touch on my back just for a few seconds.
I am sure it was my son.
My Dad visited me not long after passing. I was sitting in the home where he and my Mom lived for nearly 30 years ( we were a military family and moved often) I was sitting in a chair and Dad walked through the front door. I looked up and asked “Where have you been!?” He replied, “Heaven”and he was gone. It is a very special memory for me.
I have had these dreams since the age of 5 or earlier. I’ve learned to accept that these are visitations from my loved ones and guardian angels and now I welcome the hugs and the advice. I attended your zoom session on August 20, 2023 and I didn’t realize that when the screen popped up asking me to be a panelist, that I was being invited to a possible reading with you. I didn’t know what panelist meant and so I didn’t click yes on the button so that I could participate. I have been so sad ever since. I am attending your Zoom event on October 3, 2023 and hope that my spirits and guardian angels come through you once again.
Oh my gosh, June! The same thing happened to me! I had no idea what it meant to be a panelist. I’m heartbroken knowing I was so close! I just ordered another session and pray my loved one comes through.
My husband passed away a yr ago I have had a few dreams of him but he is alway with another woman which makes me wake up crying wish I knew why I don’t have good dreams of him I miss him so much
My husband, feeling well, went out to pick up food for dinner and had a heart attack and passed away the next day. I spent hours in the hospital with him being unresponsive fighting to live. A few days later, I had this vivid dream, he was wandering and looked so upset like he didn’t know where he was and why he was there. He was dressed in the clothes he had on when they took him in the ambulance. The last thing he knew, was that they were working on him. It was so real, I saw him big as life. I was shook when I woke up. I still remember this dream. I know he came to me.
I had many other dreams and signs he was with me during the first year and a half. We both were married before, but this marriage for us was beautiful. We were soulmates.
Now, at the two year mark, not so much. He got after me to do something important. I heeded his message, then all got quiet. I am concerned. Where is he?
I recently had a dream where a deceased love one was flirting with another and I become upset and I stepped up to the person as I was waiting patiently and stated we have to go; she moved herself away from me and I walked away. I had awakened upset and jealous. But ironically, I was dealing with the same type of jealousy at work.
I believe my deceased love one always appears with a message regarding what is happening to me within the physical world. Sometimes I believe when he shows up in my dreams, something is about to die away. The reason I say this is due to the fact that I am in transition and the old me is being replaced with the new me – aka I am moving into a new phase of my life.
Can you touch on this?
Thanks Matt for giving me clarification regarding my dream(s).
Many years ago I had my first cat a Tabby named Jenny she lived until just over 15 yrs and in 1988 she had complete kidney failure naturally I was very upset and at this time I had no experience of anything spiritual at all I was 36 years old
One morning I woke up and remember a dream I had it was to me quite a strange dream I dreamt I was in my now late mums garden and we were all standing around in a circle and Jenny was laying there in the middle of us on my mums lawn someone
said she is dead then suddenly she got up and started walking I said she is not dead look at her
This dream was so real I could see my cat and all of my family too very clearly it felt incredible and yet to me it was at the time too good to be true that this could be telling me that life really does go on
The only other experience I had was 8 yrs before my cat passed I had a premonition 2 weeks before my dad passed that he was going to pass it was such a strong feeling I couldnt get it out of my mind and yes he had a heart attack at 51 years old and passed away sitting in his garden all on his own we were on holiday with my mum and my sister had gone out for the evening and came home to find him sitting under a tree in the garden
Looking back now all these years later and becoming very interested in the afterlife I believe through these two experiences this was telling me that yes there really is a life after physical death and once you actually believe this the difference it makes to your life I think is amazing it totalling transforms your whole way of thinking !
Thank you so much Matt for everything you do you are totally changing peoples lives so much for the better !
My husband passed 1/9/2015 I very vivid remember his first visit.I have restless legs an was laying on my bed with legs bent up he walked in an grabbed hold of my feet thinking it was my son I said stop it.but there was no one there .he gave a light kiss on lips. An the next thing was like a cat walking on the bed an he snuggled up close to my back an started four play. an still visit often. an people thinks I’m dropping off the deep end. I my self don’t know what to think!
I had reoccurring dreams about my dad died but all of a sudden he became alive and would ask where is my house and money.sometimes my mother comes thru 1 time she said where is your dads money. I guess think is something there are trying to tell me that my sister who does like me? My dads will shows names and %. But I feel like she said in 2019 she was going to make sure I would live in my car and get nothing in money. Now the day before my dad died her transferred $20,000 to my checking and $5,000 ion a small insurance policy. His own policy was large, had a lot of money in bank and bonds with investments every month. My sister would not have him cremated as he wished. Didn’t have be part of his service but had a niece of mine that my dad was not fond of pick out the prayer cards. The electric and gas was turned off the day of his funeral myself and brother had to get it in our names wanted us out in 3 weeks.We got a lawyer and did as my dad wanted someone to stay in house till sold. She got a realtor right away. Jealous because I also got his/ my car? I also had 3 taps on my but before waking up. At cemetery there was no one else there. I was going to the car and I heard a man’s voice say”it’s going to be ok, Don’t worry. Another time after a cemetery visit I heard in my car from backseat kiddo kiddo. One nice I had someone light touched my hair as stroking easy, the cuddled up to me.. this happened twice. If I tell someone in my family including 31 yo son they think I am nuts. But I know. The being dead then not dead is what? Asking where the money is I think is my sister stole it or not giving me my share but by law she has to. I twice saw a man inStaten Island at a friends place in her bedroom look at me as I passed by in my room and out. I had a female and male together cardinals I looked right at them right by my apartment. That a male darker red and female lighter. I took care of my parents before and when they were dying even when there is 3 nurses in our immediate family not come by but to start trouble with me? Niece said horrible things and never once could give him a 5 minute call. They knew I was as my upset about it making excuses that my sister was afraid of me- gaslighting and her daughter a nurse because she didn’t want to see Pop in that way! I understand that but come on my father looked the same in dying process he looked 15 years ago, never changed but yet my sister by law never informs myself or brother about what is going on. My lawyer has to tell me. I know my parents come to me with myself and mom standing in he’s apart not saying anything as my dad goes to the backyard to do something not saying a word. I will not let anybody tell me I am crazy or just imagining during sleep like a dream because they are on my mind. Non believers. I also had in the bed which was my bedroom at their house told by my dad when still alive go sleep on the bed in your room, when I did at @ 3:15 am someone would pull my covers off of me and the ast time sleeping in there there was a black entity sitting on the chair by the window. First couldn’t do a thing then ran out. It scared the lie out of me because I remember hear dark clothes and hood was evil. I will stop here but many other before my parents passed happened to me in that house. Thank you! By the way your mother called me for a phone reading
I dreamt of my Dad recently and I swear I felt him hug me, I could feel his embrace as if he were there. I knew I was asleep and yes I my thoughts that day and most days were of him. I felt so at peace, not sad but happy and content knowing he was sending me a message to validate he’s with me always. For days following I was seeing angel numbers everywhere. I was walking yesterday morning and saw feathers on the ground. If you know me, I fully believe in Angels and anytime I see feathers I think of my angels and send them a thank you. I collect and keep most of the feathers I come across but always acknowledge their presence ✨
How can you tell who your sign is from, when you have many deceased family members?
How can you tell who is sending you a sign when you have lost a few family members?
Here it is. my mother never liked me. It was horrible for me. I have having terrible dreams about her and our interactions are no better. What does that mean? No hope for us even in heaven? What happens when I die? I am truly scared of seeing her again.
I dream of many loved ones that have passed. Maybe one day, I’ll be able to get a reading, especially to hear what my husband has to say. I’d also love to hear from my mother. Thanks Matt. Love to follow you.
There is ONE person that I haven’t dreamed about, and I’m very worried that he won’t show up, no matter how much I want a visit from him. I try to settle my mind and concentrate on him before I go to sleep. I’m feeling heartbroken because I miss him terribly. I don’t have any mementos I can use to attract his spirit, so I wonder if a photo of him on the pillow next to me would help. I’m signed up for the online reading on 9/23/2023, so I’m hoping to get some clarity by listening to you and others about their experiences and results. I wish I had learned of you sooner. Looking forward to the 23rd.
I was always a skeptic until one day my son’s former girlfriend of many years ago (my son’s 46) reached out to him telling him she desperately needed to speak to me. He told her he wasn’t home at the moment to give me the phone but he would relay the message to me. Matt neither my husband or I had ever met this girl before, she didn’t even live anywhere close to where we did so she had no idea my husband had passed away. She called my son the next morning and told him she had to talk to me he put her on speaker and she told me my husband was there with her and she described him to a T. What she told me only he would have known and wanted me to know that he loved me and would always be with me. After that call I realized my husband was right (he always believed and spoke to his mother often after she passed). I have gone to your live reading in St Louis in February I was not chosen but I was so enlightened and impressed. I have also done multiple online readings to which I still have not been chosen but I am still hopeful as my next online reading is September 24, plus I have tickets to see you in Omaha, NE and also Kansas City, MO as both of these are very close to my home. Hoping to hear from my loved ones. Thank you for all of the wonderful work you do in helping to heal our hearts. I personally have not had any dreams of my beloved husband or from any other loved ones so I am going to try all of your suggestions and hopefully it will help me.
My Son passed away this year. He was my joy! I’m hoping to have a visit with him. We were very close and it’s like I’ve lost my very breath. I love what you do. You help so many folks with your readings! Thanks for all you do.
Wonderful blog post, Matt. I reposted but made sure I gave you credit! My grandmother used to sing this song to me and I am wondering if yours did you. Many have performed it, but Ella’s version comes closest to my grandmother singing it. She had a beautiful voice and visits me quite a bit! I loved her so, she meant the world to me and taught me so much. I had many years with her and even my son had 8 yrs with her. She and several other loved ones visited me last week and we were all laughing and working on some project. ( i have no idea what it was!) but they were cheering me on and helping and we all had a great time.

Every night I dream and talk to loved ones that have passed and sometimes to people I don’t know. Recently I lost my pet dog Bianca and then a month later I lost my sister Valerie. Then I dreamt that my mother and father who have passed and my sister Valerie came to me with my dog Bianca and I said to them is Bianca ok and the nodded yes. Sometimes I hear Bianca bark and I jump up out of my sleep looking for her. But there is always a night that’ I dream and carry on a conversation with family that had passed. Many years ago a boy was missing and he came to me in a dream and at first it startled me but he told me where he was and when they found him it was were he told me. I don’t know why I have these dreams and mostly every night. My mother is a constant. Sometimes it a happy dream but it makes me missing them more. I am not afraid but just interested about the events When I touch somebody living I can feel their energy and sometimes it scares me. Because I can feel the negativity and I will stay away from that person. This has been going on for years.
Hi Matt, I’m reading your book…”We Never Die” and I’m loving it. Thank you so much for showing us what the other side is all about!!!
When my husband of 49 years passed and I was having a very difficult time with it, there came a day when I had to drive into the BIG city alone and was so worried about it. When we had driven anywhere outside of our area, he always drove. The night before, he came to me and picked up his guitar and sat down in a rocker by the living room window and I watched him as he began to play, one note at a time, a song he knew that I would recognize. Each note was a word to me. “I’ll be loving you, always. With a love that’s true, always. When the things you’ve planned, need a helping hand, I will understand, always, always. Days may not be fair, always, that’s when I’ll be there, always…not for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a year, but always. I was in our bed asleep but this was not a dream. I made a successful trip next day and gradually came to grips with my loss and grief.
I have been having dreams with my mom, dad and brother in them every night for several months now. It’s not just once in a while, it’s been every single night.
