Abstract

Most bereaved individuals encounter vivid and profoundly meaningful dreams highlighting the presence of the deceased who can embody and influence the grieving process. In eastern society especially in Pakistan, psychological literature on dreams during grief has been generally ignored. The current study aimed to investigate the presence of recurring themes in the dreams that embodied the deceased child as a character. Semi-structured interviews were held with 4 bereaved couples in Pakistan. Their age ranges from 24 to 48 years. Causes of death include accident, homicide, illness, and suicide. Each of the respondents stated their dreams that occurred following the death of their loved one and volunteered to share it with the researcher. Thematic Analysis (TA) was used to identify and describe meaningful patterns from the interview transcripts. Considering the lack of research into this topic, the aim was to look for pragmatic perceptions. Keywords: dreams, grieved parents, deceased child, dream analysis, thematic analysis

但愿我能不闭眼就看到你:从宗教、文化、心理维度的视角对悲痛父母梦境内容的专题分析

大多数失去亲人的人都会遇到生动而意义深远的梦，这些梦突出了死者的存在，他们可以体现和影响悲伤的过程。在东方社会，尤其是巴基斯坦，关于悲伤梦的心理学文献普遍被忽视。目前的研究旨在调查梦中反复出现的主题，这些主题将死去的孩子作为一个角色。在巴基斯坦与4对失去亲人的夫妇进行了半结构化访谈。他们的年龄从24岁到48岁不等。死亡原因包括事故、他杀、疾病和自杀。每个受访者都陈述了他们在亲人去世后所做的梦，并自愿与研究人员分享。主题分析(TA)用于识别和描述访谈记录中有意义的模式。考虑到缺乏对这一主题的研究，目的是寻找实用的看法。关键词:梦，悲痛的父母，死去的孩子，梦分析，主题分析
