Why Do We Dream of Deceased Family Members? - Master Jingkong
This matter is often mentioned in the Earth Store Bodhisattva Sutra. In the sutra, it is explained that when you dream of deceased family members, it is because they have already passed away. When you dream of them, it is said in the sutra that they have requests or needs from you. Therefore, when you experience such dreams, it is advisable to sincerely recite sutras, chant the Buddha's name, and dedicate the merit to them. They seek your assistance.
As for how many sutras you recite or how many times you chant the Buddha's name, that is something you determine. You need to consider how much help you are capable of providing. By doing so, you may find that you won't dream of them in the future.
