Terminalt sjuka drömmer om avlidna anhöriga nära döden

Personer som närmar sig döden upplever ofta levande drömmar och visioner av avlidna släktingar, husdjur, dörrar, trappor och ljus, enligt personal inom palliativ vård. Dessa möten ger tröst och hjälper patienter att acceptera döden, visar en ny italiensk studie. Forskare noterar att sådana drömmar blir mer frekventa och realistiska ju närmare döden patienten kommer.

Ett team lett av Elisa Rabitti vid det palliativa nätverket i Reggio Emilia i Italien har undersökt 239 läkare, sjuksköterskor, psykologer och annan personal som vårdar terminalt sjuka patienter. De vanligaste drömmarna innebar återföreningar med avlidna familjemedlemmar eller husdjur. En patient drömde om sin avlidne make som sa till henne: ”Jag väntar på dig”, vilket gav henne inre frid och underlättade acceptansen av döden, rapporterade forskarna i tidskriften Death Studies.

Researchers examining 939 adult skeletons from five medieval Danish cemeteries found no consistent evidence that people with leprosy or tuberculosis were relegated to lower-status graves. Instead, individuals showing signs of these diseases were often buried in prominent locations, suggesting that responses to illness varied across communities rather than following a uniform pattern of exclusion.

Researchers have found that vivid, immersive dreams can make sleep feel deeper and more restorative, even during periods of high brain activity. A study analyzing brain recordings from 44 healthy adults showed that participants reported their deepest sleep after intense dream experiences. The findings challenge traditional views of deep sleep as minimal brain activity.
