I have dreams about my parents, but so far they are all bad dreams of when they were both struggling greatly in their last years. Yep, miss them terribly.
Do you ever have dreams of lost loved ones?

I can relate to the vividness of certain dreams. Some feel truly real with a heaviness on your chest and paralysis. The place you're in is normal and you'll work through it. Keep working on your mind and strengthening it.
Not linking this to you but it's a compelling interview with Chester (Linkin Park) not long before he took his life. At about 1:00 his words about "bad neighborhood" have resonated with me for many years. When you're heart is ready the dreams will dissipate.

I get what I call "quicksand" dreams where I struggle way beyond what's reasonable with something and still can't do it. Like trying all day to get to work, even if it's 4 pm and there's been a whole comedy of errors.
As to OP's question, yes, occasionally, and they're wonderful. My dreams are movie-quality in production, stop with a middle-of-the-night bathroom run, then continue on with the second half of the double feature.

Your dreams of your wife is / was real. The scent you smell comes directly from her.
For whatever reason, she hasn't moved-on and many times it's because she's chose to remain and await you.
One of my departed sister's even took it to the next level. She not only visited me in my dreams and allowed me aroma, I felt her touch me numerous times and she sang me a lullabye that I haven't heard since she sang it to me at the age of three... (70 years ago).
When a departed one sings to you, it's easily recognizable in Quadrophenia Sound that completely wraps itself around your inner head, as-if she's singing while walking around you somewhat quickly in a circle. You can engage the music as it moves from left-to-right-forward to back.
No speakers on earth (that I've heard) can produce it the same way.
Very, very rarely, but not too long ago I had a dream about my father who passed away about 55 years ago to the day.

Usually not about a dead one though I still have some every now and then about the night my dad almost died. It was February 21st 2011 my dad was approaching Bethesda Maryland heading to Baltimore on the Capital Beltway which is I-495 but anyway the conditions were nasty that night light snow no ice and tons of rain. Then a Lexus SUV attempts to pass him in the left lane and loses control and spins into my dad’s driver tire of his semi hauling doubles. Sends him airborne and into the jersey wall next to the interstate. Truck lands on the driver side and skids down the road more. Seriously injuring my dad as well as covering him in diesel fuel from the punctured fuel tank. Well then the truck ignites in flames. These big strong baseball players from the Fredrick Keys driving thru Maryland to report to Baltimore Orioles their affiliate well they get out of their car with a couple baseball bats and beat the windshield out and help my dad get out and just so you know how big my dad is he was around 300 pounds then and two guys pulled him out basically by one arm as his left arm was completely frozen and painful. For months he couldn’t move his left arm at all. But I’m forever grateful that those guys were there and saved his life. He gave them his phone to call my mom immediately. One of them was Andrew and I believe the other one was Leroy……. Now here is the twist to that story the driver of the Lexus was drunk. And the cops said had he been sober he probably would’ve realized that he could not go the speed he was going in those conditions and it would’ve prevented the wreck from happening.
I will never forget that or the picture of his truck afterwards. And I have been and will always be grateful for the two guys who saved him that night Andrew and Leroy were heroes that night. That’s also what inspired me to be interested and involved with baseball. The whole scene always haunts my dreams but then I remember that he lived and that’s what matters. Oh and the drunk driver walked away with a DUI and no injuries

I rarely remember my dreams. I might remember 1 per year.
My mother passed in 2011. Dad remarried a few years later. For the first year or two of Dad's second marriage, I would often dream that Mom came back (like she had been in a coma and we mistakenly thought she was dead) and I was scared that she'd be upset, she always seemed very understanding. Then I would awaken and wonder what that all means?
My youngest brother passed suddenly about two months ago, haven't had a dream involving him yet. I'm wondering what that means?

Yes. My dreams however are often more like replays of events. Some of the time they're vivid and unpleasant resulting in me waking up and having to drink myself back to sleep.
I don't tend to dream in the traditional sense, it's always re-living what happened.

That's the nightmare part, enjoying your dream then waking up and remembering they don't exist anymore.
Occasionally I'll have a dream about my late father. It's good memories, not bad. Thankfully.
I like that solution!
My mom died in 1986 and my dad in 2010. Over the years I dream of her less and less but my dad still shows up occasionally. I think that’s probably because I knew him for so much longer and had developed more of an adult relationship. I was only 22 when my mom died.

Archimedes has debunked quicksand horror
I've had a few dreams of my wife who passed away three years ago and so has my daughter and a few close friends. I don't remember most of my dreams but do remember the first one roughly a month or so after she died. We were embracing each other and she told me everything is going to be okay.

I wouldn't worry about it. He's probably busy tending to others he needs to visit/assist. He'll get back to you when the time is right
Despite only spending time twice with my grandmother (once when I was a few months old and a month one summer when i was 6 or so), she was very fond of me and my eldest brother.
When she passed in, I always wondered why she never visited me in dreams. As time progressed, I stopped giving it much attention. Fast forward to a ski trip a few winters ago, my GF and I were staying in a condo. The trip was coming to a close and while I was packing up the final items, I had a pleasant "notification" pop up.....like I should be anticipating a visit from someone who I'm close to.
After we were settled at home, I had a dream where my mom, GF and I were in the kitchen chatting (both of whom are still with us). My grandmother arrived and brought me some sort of baked cake or dessert of some sort. I couldn't make out the details of what it was, but I just recall my mom and GF intentionally leaving the room because they knew we had to discuss important matters privately.
