Yep, happens to me too. My little dog Cleo, that I lost some years ago now, often comes to "visit" me in my dreams. And like your dreams, mine are not... well dreamlike! They're much more vivid and real. I can feel her weight in my hands or arms, feel and smell her fur (like she always felt and smelled right after a bath - really silky and nice) and look into her eyes. Much more intense.
I also lost my dear friend Rob a bit over 2 years ago to cancer, and when I'm at my most despondent, my most depressed, I am certain he drops by to say "Chin up kiddo" like he always did when he was alive.
A lot of people don't believe it - but it's so different and much more vivid than a real dream. I know it's not just a dream!
