It depends

Deceased loved one / Ancestor

What it means

Dreaming of a deceased parent, elder, or ancestor is usually felt as a visit rather than an omen. A calm, smiling figure who gives you something — food, money, a word — is a warm blessing dream of protection and fortune coming your way. One who looks worried or asks for something is read in tradition as a call to remember them, tend a duty, or take care of your health. Above all it reflects love that has not left you.
