I found the topic of grief dreams fascinating as I had my own series of grief dreams following the death of my mother which came one after, not every night, but every so often and they were like different episodes in the series on Netflix, and they lasted for months. And maybe we're going to talk about this a little bit more, but I'm interested in what Joshua can tell me about his view and his research about it. If you haven't heard of Joshua, don't worry because in today's episode, I'm going to ask him all the questions that you might interested in as well. Let's see where this takes us today. About this week's guest Joshua Black, PhD, is a grief and bereavement researcher, speaker, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast.

What does it mean when you dream of a deceased loved one? Grief dreams evolve in many ways to help you deal with your grief and loss. Grief dreams can provide you with comfort, hope, and even answers to questions you may have.  Grief dreams are unique and don't end when you have stopped grieving. They can pop up at random moments in life, but can help us sometime to understand confusing situations or bring clarity when you are feeling stressed. Understanding our emotions is hard, and dreams can help showcase some of the blocks within us and help us heal. Dreams represent a waking life. When we're happy and joyful, we will have more positive dreams. When we're angry and negative, we will have more negative dreams. In this episode, Dr. Joshua Black, a leading researcher on grief dreams, talks about the significance of grief dreams in the grieving process.

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live". (Norman Cousins) Not allowing joy to die within you when you suffer a major loss of a loved one is vital for an optimistic, positive life view. Yet finding joy again can be hard, seemingly impossible. We increasingly experience the death of friends and family as we age. The better we can decrease the stress of these losses, the less impact this will have on our aging trajectory says today's guest. Joshua Black, PhD, is one of the world's leading academic experts in grief dreams. He is a grief researcher, speaker, consultant, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast. His work focuses on dreams and continuing bonds after loss.    Previous guests have discussed ways of healing after loss or traumas, becoming resilient, and accepting the  importance of self-care as you care for others. Today we discuss dreaming and another manifestation of grief, the Grief Dream.   To connect with Joshua Black: The GriefDreams Podcast   website: www.griefdreams.ca  https://www.facebook.com/joshua.black.942 Clubhouse (@griefdreams).   T To learn how you can decelerate your aging trajectory,  stay vibrant and vigorous, or start your own online business in wellness and anti-aging,:Contact  Dr. Gillian Lockitch https://linktr.ee/askdrgill   Email: askdrgill@gmail.comSchedule a complimentary Living Younger Discovery Call at https://bit.ly/3LbWvSV To learn how you can decelerate your aging trajectory,  stay vibrant and vigorous, or start your own online business in wellness and anti-aging,:Contact  Dr. Gillian Lockitch https://linktr.ee/askdrgill   Email: askdrgill@gmail.comSchedule a complimentary Living Younger Discovery Call at https://bit.ly/3LbWvSV To learn how you can decelerate your aging trajectory,  stay vibrant and vigorous, or start your own online business in wellness and anti-aging,:Contact  Dr. Gillian Lockitch https://linktr.ee/askdrgill   Email: askdrgill@gmail.comSchedule a complimentary Living Younger Discovery Call at https://bit.ly/3LbWvSV Order your copy of Growing Older Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and the Art of Retiring Comfortably at www.gillianlockitch.com

Dr. Joshua Black is a Grief Researcher, Speaker, Consultant and the Host of the Grief Dreams Podcast. As one of the world's leading academic experts in grief dreams, which can be dreams of the deceased, Dr. Black has directed his efforts on raising awareness about this fascinating  phenomenon and how the brain continues to connect unconsciously with our loved ones. Find out more about what grief dreams are, and what it really means when you dream of someone who has passed away in this week's episode.   Key Takeaways: Susan shares some of the recurring dreams she's had of her husband. Sometimes, they are traumatizing.  Dreams are related to processing trauma and unresolved feelings of guilt and blame. What can you do to move forward from these dreams? How can you change your dreams and how can you change the way you process grief? Once you understand these dreams, you can have breakthroughs, and you can have peaceful sleep again. Are these dreams some form of a spiritual connection with your loved one? And do they have a particular message for you? When it comes to these spiritual dreams, if it's comforting to the individual why not maintain that bond and keep on feeling connected.  We need to understand the belief system of each person and how those dreams work within that belief system because some people take dreams as a negative visitation. People should understand that their dreams are a great way of understanding how you're trying to digest and process throughout the day and as we sleep. As you move forward, emotions can be triggered not just because of grief but because of something else happening in your life. The brain is linking these emotions with your grief.  How Dr. Joshua got into this line of work? Dr. Joshua studied dreams because of his father's death. It was the first time he experienced loss. He was broken and shocked by what happened and never stopped grieving until he had a dream about his father.  When Dr. Joshua was able to say goodbye in his dream, something he couldn't do in person, he found peace when he woke up.  Dream rescripting has shown to reduce stress when having negative dreams at any age level. Dr. Joshua helps you write the dreams you wanna have.  When you're stressed, the more likely you'll have negative dreams, but dreams also teach us how to express our love. Dr. Joshua shares a story about dreams and love.    Resources Griefdreams.ca A Thousand Names for Joy: Living in Harmony with the Way Things Are by Byron Katie Dr. Joshua Black

Grief Dreams. What are they? What do they mean? Is it normal to have a grief dream? Is it normal not to dream of the deceased? These are questions that Dr. Joshua Black has been studying for  years now. Ever since he had a dream about his father several months after he had suddenly died, Joshua was curious about how these dreams affect people.  For Joshua, that dream brought him a sense of peace. He had never had a chance to say goodbye to his father or tell him that he loved him. In the dream though, Joshua did just that. He said when he woke up the next morning, he felt that a little bit of color had returned to the world. He had a sense of peace and felt just a little bit better. As Joshua got further into his psychology training, he began to wonder if others had similar experiences with grief dreams. He decided to look into the research and found that very little existed. He dug in and started doing research himself. He found that although overall, 80% of dreams are negative, when looking at grief dreams, the overwhelming majority of these dreams are positive. They offer comfort to us, giving just a few more precious minutes with our loved ones. What about those of us who don't have grief dreams? Dr. Black says that most likely everyone does dream of their deceased loved ones. What happens though, is that many times, we don't remember those dreams. Approximately 10% of people never remember their dreams, and for those people, it will not really be possible to remember a grief dream either. For those of us who do at least occasionally remember dreams, however, we can do things to help ourselves have more dreams and have those dreams be positive. On his website, griefdreams.ca, we can download our own Dream Builder Worksheets to help us think about dreams we'd like to have about our loved ones. Dr. Black also has a podcast fittingly called, Grief Dreams Podcast where guests talk about their own grief dreams. Overall, these dreams can be a wonderful healing part of our own grief journeys.

In this episode, I sat down with ANOTHER fellow grief podcaster, Dr. Joshua Black, from the Grief Dreams Podcast! After dreaming about his late father, Joshua began studying the effects of dreams on healing trauma and moving through loss. Through his work and his podcast he is able to connect with people on a deep level about understanding the nature of life and death.

I begin this show by sharing an essay I wrote about coming to terms with my difficult mother after a particularly important dream. And then I go on to do the bulk of this show all about journaling… why, where, how to do it, how to keep it private, when, etc. Did you know journaling is like your secret superpower? You can truly find answers to worries, pressures, challenges and questions… just by writing it out. Maybe it’s longhand in a notebook, or digitally on your phone or laptop. Whatever form it takes, know that a bit of simple journaling can really heal what’s missing or broken. I share advice on how to fit this into your busy life as well. Because you DO deserve to return to you! Take care, as ever… As promised, here are some journaling prompts: What do I need that I can’t make time for? What did I once love that I’ve forgotten about? What do I long for… and how can I create that in my life? What would be the best day to resolve [INSERT YOUR OWN] challenge? What’s the next right thing to do?

Joshua Black's life changed forever after a dream of his departed father. He is now a leading researcher on grief dreams, something many grievers have but don't talk about. We're upacking his turbulent relationship with his father, how he views death after having grief dreams, and touching on what all of us can do to become better dreamers. Also on the show, I'm talking about the totally normal phenomenon of becoming aware of your own mortality after a loved one dies.

  Dreams -- the nocturnal manifestations of our memories, hopes and fears are central in the themes of our greatest literature ... which begs at least two questions: "why do we dream?" and "what can sometimes fantastical visions and fantasies teach us about ourselves?" To the more spiritual among us, dreams open a channel -- sometimes a two-way one where those we dream about are in fact aware of the dreamer -- along which we can safely travel the road to self awareness and emotional healing. Our guest today is the host of The Grief Dreams Podcast, Joshua Black. A PhD candidate in psychology, his area of focus is on dreams of the deceased. Stay tuned, dreamers ... you don't want to miss this one!   Links to Joshua Black ~ Grief Dreams website Listen to the Grief Dreams Podcast Follow Joshua Black@GriefDreams on Twitter Check out Grief Dreams on Facebook  

Gene and guest co-host J. Randall Murphy present Joshua Black, one of the leading academic researchers in the field of dreams of the deceased. The discussion includes precognitive dreams. He has focused all of his graduate work on investigating this neglected topic (MA and PhD). He continues to publish scientific research in the field as he finishes his Ph.D. at Brock University (Ontario, Canada). To raise awareness about the topic, he started a website (www.griefdreams.ca), Instagram page (@griefdreams), Grief Dreams Facebook Group, and the Grief Dreams Podcast (with co-host Shawn Ram). Additionally, he frequently gives presentations and workshops on the topic to the bereaved and those who work with them.

A lot has happened this week! I have been interviewed by the team of Grief Dreams Podcast (https://griefdreamspodcast.podbean.com/e/episode-18-grief-dreams-podcast/). I had a great time discussing my grief recovery process with Joshua Black and Shawn Ram. After delaying my announcement about new things coming to the podcast, I decided to tell the world that I'm interviewing people on this show... next week I'll share my interview / conversation with Joshua Black. We'll be talking about this grief journey, and how dreams inspired his research about grief related dreams. You don't want to miss it. This week, I reflect on how I might con keep people alive (through memories) even though the physical person I used to me able to see, touch and interact with are no longer here... memories are very powerful things! If you have been inspired to go great things because of or in spite of your grief (i.e. become a bereavement councilor, created a non-profit organization, written a book, etc.)  I want to talk to you about your grief recovery process. I 'll try to have an interview once a month. If you think someone might be a good fit, send me their contact info at darwyn@dealingwithmygrief.com.
