Need some advice/help, /x/

My father and I were very close. He was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago and unfortunately passed away. I had a very difficult time coming to terms with it. About 2 years after he passed, I started having dreams about him or with him in them. They were always nice, comforting dreams. About a month ago these dreams feel different. I wake up feeling anxious after them now, like a nightmare.

Why would this be happening? Is it just anxiety? Am I a schizo? Could it be something paranormal?

shameless self bump because I'm kinda worried

I saw a giant version of my dead dad one night in the backyard while I was laying in my bedroom in a hypnogogic OBE. Nothing weird about it.

The only bad one I had with family was the same thing was happening, but this time it was my dead brother whispering in my living brother's ear, where then he transformed into a cat (living brother) and attacked me in zero g. I first came through on the couch (false awakening), then finally in my bedroom

I like to pray that the same thing happens to people who don't believe me. :3

whats happening in these dreams? does your dad look different in them? is it just the general feeling of the dream thats different or is something new happening in them?

This anon is correct. Those distinguishing details are important. Also, your dad could be trying to warn you about something.

It is Spiritual. You should pay attention to your dreams and change your behaviour according to what you can intuit from them.

Did you and your father make any plans prior to his death that fell through? Maybe a trip or competition or something with a high sentimental value?

The reason I ask is because I get the sense that you should make plans to actually go do that thing (with him ((in spirit))) if that makes any sense.

It's possible you're still grieving. I went through something similar to what you're describing. I though I had processed it and it was over only to discover years later that what I'd really done is push it as far back in my mind as possible. Allow yourself to think about everything again now with new eyes and a few more years of experience and you might finish the process in a much better place than you are or even were before.
