Sometimes when we're awake, we remember loved ones, but memories in dreams are a sign that they may be trying to connect with you.
This is especially true when a loved one helps you remember something you wouldn't normally think of, for example through a forgotten memory about them.
This memory may contain a message they would like to draw your attention to.

Dreams with the deceased can be vivid and realistic to the point that a person feels as if the deceased was actually there. When you sleep, you can smell, touch, and hear the deceased.
Also, these dreams can be emotionally intense, and since you feel their presence strongly, this can stir up painful experiences again.
It is likely that a deceased loved one does not want to hurt you, but is trying to be near you.
