A Friendship That Never Ended
Some friendships are too strong to fade—even after death. For Full House star Dave Coulier, his bond with Bob Saget is one of those unbreakable ones. In a recent interview, Dave shared a touching and deeply personal detail: Bob still visits him… in his dreams.
Yes, even after his passing in 2022, Saget’s presence lives on in Dave’s subconscious, and the moments they share in those dreams are just as warm and hilarious as ever.
The Dreams: Full of Laughter and Light
Coulier described the dreams as vivid, funny, and emotionally uplifting.
“He always does something silly and makes me laugh. Just like he used to.”
That’s classic Bob Saget—making people laugh, even when things are tough. And in these dream visits, it’s as if no time has passed between them.
A Bond Built Long Before Full House
Dave and Bob weren’t just co-stars. They were real-life friends long before Full House came along. They met when Dave was just 18, doing comedy in Detroit, and Bob was already making waves as a young comic. That early connection grew into a decades-long friendship, a brotherhood really.
So when Coulier lost Bob, it wasn’t just a co-star who passed—it was family.
How the Dreams Started
These dreams started appearing around the time Dave was going through a terrifying health crisis—his own cancer battle. Diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Dave was facing chemotherapy and some dark emotional territory.
In those quiet moments of fear, the dreams began.
“He would have been the one to call me every day. That’s who Bob was. And somehow, even though he’s not here physically, he still found a way to show up.”
When a Dream Becomes a Hug
The dreams aren’t just funny—they’re healing. They help fill the space Bob once occupied. Sometimes, it’s just a silly moment. Other times, it’s deeper. Dave said they feel like a “hug” from the other side. Comfort. Presence. Familiar love.
Bob Saget’s Legacy of Kindness
Those who knew Bob knew he had two sides: the wild, adult-standup side, and the deeply loving, family-first guy. For Dave, it’s the second version who appears most often—offering reassurance, laughter, and subtle messages of support.
And maybe that’s what makes it all so moving. Even in dreams, Bob is doing what he always did best—making someone feel loved.
More Than a Dream—A Message
To Dave, these aren’t just brain activity or nostalgia. They feel meaningful.
“Sometimes I wake up laughing. Other times I just sit quietly. But every time, I feel like he was really there.”
The idea that someone could show up for you—after they’ve passed—carries a powerful emotional weight. It means love doesn’t disappear. It transforms.
Still Making an Impact
Bob may no longer be around in person, but through these moments in sleep, he continues to have a real, living impact on Dave’s emotional healing. And the dreams have become a gentle reminder that no one is ever truly gone as long as they’re remembered—and still making you smile.
Coulier’s Cancer Battle and Bob’s Silent Support
During his chemo journey, Dave often thought about what Bob would have said, how he would’ve been the one texting, calling, even cracking jokes to keep spirits up. While the physical call never came, the dreams brought the same warmth.
“He would’ve driven me crazy checking in every day. But I would’ve loved every second of it.”
An ‘Audio Hug’ That Echoes Forever
This isn’t the first time Dave has shared how Bob’s words helped him heal. After Dave’s brother passed away, Bob left a voicemail—what Dave called “an audio hug”—filled with empathy and love. That same energy, Coulier says, now finds its way into his dreams.
Why This Hits So Hard for Fans
To those who grew up watching Full House, this feels incredibly personal. We laughed at Uncle Joey and Danny Tanner’s antics. We felt their family chemistry. And now, hearing that they remained family even after death—it’s emotional.
It’s not just a celebrity soundbite—it’s a look into a beautiful, lifelong friendship.
A Reminder for Us All
Dave’s story reminds us that:
-
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline.
-
Love continues in unexpected ways.
-
And some bonds truly are eternal—even showing up in dreams when we need them most.
