When a deceased parent appears in a dream, the unconscious is reaching through time to complete something unfinished. This may be a message, a blessing, or an invitation to finally hear what was never said, or to release what was never resolved. The tone of the encounter — warm, tense, silent — tells you everything about what still needs to happen between you.
