Meaning of Dead Person in Dreams
Seeing a deceased person smiling or giving gifts is auspicious — it suggests ancestral blessings (pitru prasāda) and that the soul has attained a higher state. If the deceased appears sad or asks for something, the Shastra advises performing Shraddha or offering jal-tarpan to fulfil the soul's need.
