For a short while after my father died, I would have dreams where he would be there, and I would say to my mother, who was also in the dream, that "I thought he was dead". Curiously (or perhaps not!) I don't recall ever actually talking to him in the dream, asking him why he was there if he was dead. Just saying it (almost as a whisper) to my mother, while he was somewhere in the background.
I assumed it was my subconscious, though, because in real life I had not been given the opportunity to say goodbye as it were, so there was probably a genuine lack of fully understanding that he was dead, that manifested itself into my dreams (I was but a teenager at the time).
