To interpret dream of dead cousin visiting, you must relate this to your present circumstances. You may have dreamed about a beloved deceased because of one of these reasons:
- A stimulus received during your day triggered the replay of this memory in a dream.
- Nostalgia, and missing the deceased, may have activated the replay of the old memory.
- A nagging sense of unfinished business like instructions yet unfulfilled, could trigger a dream.
- Certain special days like anniversaries, could trigger dreams.
