Researchers have studied dreams about deceased loved ones, calling them part of grief, memory, and emotional processing. A TikTok user named Piper (@piperpoorhani) recently shared her account of a dream involving her late father. She said the experience left her with a message she could not forget: “You weren’t supposed to ask that.”
In a June 2026 TikTok post, Piper described what she called the “creepiest dream” she had experienced recently. According to text displayed on her video, she said she was shopping with her father, who died three years earlier. She realized something seemed impossible.
