There are many reasons why you may suffer vivid and reoccurring dreams. Most of the time this can be put down to worry or anxiety. Thoughts and feelings may be dormant whilst you are awake or you might just be to pre-occupied during the day to notice such thoughts. When you relax during night time hours the brain remains active and these thoughts can be transmitted into your dreams. Any type of dream occurs during rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep and not a deep and relaxed sleep. Unlike most dreams a nightmare can cause physical symptoms such as perspiration, flushed cheeks and a high pulse.
There are a few scientific theories associated with what causes certain dreams. Although there are many different assumptions made we really don't know exactly what triggers them.
A popular view of dreaming suggests that the causes of bad dreams particularly lie in the need to release stresses from the day. Traumatic life experiences can often be a key factor in the causes of some dreams that are related to the memory of the event. This might have been a death in your case which is making you have this dream.
Having a dream about someone who has died would suggest a recent death of a friend or family member or that you are struggling to cope with the loss of someone. Maybe you are not aware that the loss is troubling you while you are awake. Try to relax as much as possible before going to sleep. Take a hot bath or have a hot drink, anything that might cause you to have a deeper and more regulated sleep pattern. If the dreams persist it might be worth talking to a hypnotherapist who will be able to offer some advice on the problem.
