In other words if a loved one was a ghost and not a spirit from the otherside......you would not be able to make contact with them in a dream untill they had crossed over.
Dreams are the closest encounters we have with the Other Side because it's in this unconscious state that our own spirit, or astral, bodies are able to go to the other realm and meet with other spirits.
Whoever said you can't meet loves ones in the dream state is a liar. Dreams are spirits way of communicating with people directly, being as the spirits themselves look lucid/trasparent when people see them.
My grandpa sometimes told me about his mother, about 20 years ago when she died, came to my grandpa in a dream. He said it was just as real as him and I talking. My grandpa astral projected, but didn't know it.
