I’m not exactly sure if this is the right forum to post this topic in, and I bet it hasn’t been brought up yet. But let’s give it a shot…
Have any of you ever tried visiting anyone who passed away, either a loved one or some random person, in a lucid dream? This topic could go in the Lucid Adventures forum, but there might be a possibility that it can go beyond just talking to a dream character. We might be talking to the actual spirit of <insert name here>!
Ive been doing some reading on Astral Projection lately. It seems that some people actually do visit dead relatives. You should read up on it, you might be interested. I know I sure am.
My husband recently passed away and I have visited him a few times in my LDs. I plan to do more. I am learning to OBE and astral travel to actually go to the spiritual plane to communicate with him. Yes, it can be done.
Did you ever read Robert Monroe’s book?
For those who never heard of him, look up the monroe institute… he’s the one behind hemi-sync… He was very good at astral projecting.
He’s dead now but I’ve been told that his daughter has had out of body contacts with him for several months.
I’m not sure,But if it works,I might meet Kurt Cobain soon.
Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. 
I haven’t in any LDs, but I said goodbye to one in a regular dream…
I suppose I could visit one of my dead grandfathers, I never got to meet either of them.
But the thought that they might appear as walking corpses bothers me a little… 
Blowing they’re heads off would hardly be a perfect first impression! 
As soon as my LD powers start to kick in, that’s the first thing I’m doing.
I never got to say good-bye.
________ was my first good morning and my last good night <3

I haven’t intentionally gone seeking a dead relative or acquaintance through lucid dreaming but I have used them as a reality check and it has proven to be a great tool for me.
I’ve spoken with them and let them guide me but one of my biggest obstacles remains the same, the inability of containing my emotions and thus losing lucidity.
I never thought of it before, but this is something I’d definitely want to do, to be able to talk with my grandfather from my mom’s side again, and then meet my dad’s father for the first time
I’m going to work towards this
I have met my great-granddad, he died 20 years before I was born. So yes, you can talk with dead ones in LD’s 
My dad passed away last August from Parkinson disease. A few days later I found him in my LD in his room, where he spent his last days. The room didn’t have any furniture, it was completely empty. Just walls. My dad was standing there. He looked very miserable and scared, and had reddish face.
– Dad, what are you doing here?
– I will die soon.
I thought he probably couldn’t understand yet that he already had died and that was why he continued to live there. So, I started explaining to him and said that his misery was over now, his physical body had died and he was free. My words, for some reason, made him very very angry, he grabbed my neck and held me pressed to the wall… There was so much hate in his eyes. It started to darken and in a minute I woke up.
I think he didn’t believe me and thought that I wanted to hurt his feelings. He always was suspicious and easy to upset. Besides we never were close.
His reaction didn’t surprise me much. I can even say that it was his natural reaction even though he never grabbed my neck before.
In another LDs I’ve met my aunt and uncle couple times. It never happened intentionally. I didn’t have such a plan. In one LD I was looking for one thing, going into many houses and searching there. In one house I met my aunt and in another house my uncle. The place wasn’t recognizable. I’ve never been there before. My aunt and uncle both were nice to me. I promised to visit them again. My uncle said that his life was better now but not perfect. He had some problems with his body even there.
I’ve only seen pets that have passed away in my dreams, but then again haven’t had any lucid dreams to try this out. It’s very interesting, though!
I only had one out of body experience so far but many Lucid dreams. Last night, I “woke up” knowing it was an LD at a similar place to my aunts house (wich she sold years ago) but I used to spent time a lot there with a ex boyfriend (he died 3 years ago at 24 years), so as soon as I saw myself at a younger age I started looking for him as I wanted to see his face again and I heard while in a LD or astral travel you may talk to the dead. He was not there but then I noticed a body at the bottom of the pool. It was him drowing (or already dead) I pulled his body out of the water and started doing CPR, and watching his face closely then suddently he was blowing softly at my face as letting me know he was there. I felt it as well as the hug he gave me while whispering some things to me. It was the first time I had the sense of touch in a dream and I wonder if he was really there…
I want to speak to my friend who passed away. I never said a proper goodbye. When she died I was also too young to understand.
I have had few lucid dreams where my dad (who is dead IRL) is in, and several LD-s, where i talk to my dog (who is also dead for many years already). I consider them to be dream characters, and i have had pleasant conversations with them. Who knows, are they purely in my mind, or something beyond 
Good idea.Well, since no one(I really mean no one) close to me(even a bit) died, I’ll try some other people who died a long time ago.
I’ll try with the scientist Nikola Tesla, some pharaohs, emperors, or I could Ask if I am related to someone famous who died a long time ago.Yes, that would be great.
Next time I have a LD I’m going to try to contact my exboyfriend again and see if he can give me some information I don’t know but can verify. ( I know he had a kid, I don’t know his name yet) If this information is provided then I’m going to contact one of his family members to verify. Hope it works to confirm. 
I’ve seen my grandpa, my cat and my rabbit who passed away, in ND’s and LD’s;
I didn’t search for them, it was like they were visiting me instead of I visiting them.
I remember this one dream… a really really long time ago… It’s really fuzzy, and all I can remember is seeing my grandmother who had passed away, and smelling just how she used to smell. It was such a wonderfully strong smell…
When I told my step-Dad about lucid dreaming, a couple weeks later he mentioned to me how he dreampt about his mom who has passed away, and how, when he woke up, he really wished he could have become lucid, just to talker to her…
