it was years ago and I have tried to make sense of it, The dream is of my grandpa, he had been dead for around 13 years and I started having dreams every night and I would wake up around 3 am every morning with a horrible feeling, I could feel him sitting next to me, but couldn't see him. I thought maybe he was trying to tell me something, I have 3 daughters and I would get out of bed and go check on them every night this went on for around 3 weeks and then just stopped. my dreams were never the same, however the one thing they had in common was that he was alive in each one of them. We would even go to funerals together.We were always together going somewhere. sometimes my siblings were with us but not always. this has bothered me for years, please if someone can help I would really appreciate it.

It's normal for a dead person to be alive in a dream because your unconscious mind doesn't have the same sense of linear time that your conscious mind does, doesn't realize that once someone dies they can't be alive again.

Your grandfather in your dream could also be the archetype of the wise old man. It could be your unconscious trying to tell you something. The actual message would have to do with what was happening in the particular dream and what was going on in your life at the time.
