The Leader in Grief Dreams Research

Our research highlights that grief dreams are a very common experience for the bereaved. But despite scientific advances in the study of grief and dreams, there has been very little research with an explicit focus on grief dreams.

Dr. Black hopes the information found here can assist the bereaved by normalizing their experience and reduce any isolation they may feel. In addition, he hope that those who assist the bereaved can reduce the biases associated with dreams and explore the healing that can be found within these experiences.
