Do you have vivid dreams of close relative that passed away?

16 years ago my older sister passed away at 27 years of age. I dream of her every so often and the dreams are quite vivid. I'm always surprised to see her because "gosh, I thought you had died or something". In these dreams, I often wonder where the heck I got that idea from, she's clearly there and in good health laughing and smiling. Of course then I wake up and am immediately overcome by the reality of it all just being a dream.

I've had them sometimes. A few times I was very scared, saying in my dream, no, that can't be, they died. I've even re-lived someone dying again in my dream, I was like, not again. It felt so real.
In another dream, my grandma, again I got suspicious thinking she's died and she realised so she turned away to leave but I called her and she came back and hold my hand and told me beautiful things.
With other friends too, I have this experience yes.
