freezer burn

Crowdsourcing time! I'm starting to poke at a multifandom vid, and I need some suggestions beyond my own usual scope of source material. Specifically, I'm looking at the women in refrigerators trope. More specifically, I'm looking for sci-fi/fantasy/comic book movies and TV shows that feature main characters' girlfriends/wives who are 1) killed off and then 2) appear to them later in dreams/visions/hallucinations.

Example: Jean Grey's death in X3 and then reappearance in Logan's dreams in The Wolverine.

I will also accept girlfriends who are believed to be dead and are later revealed to still be alive. (i.e. Bucky Barnes, except, y'know, the female equivalent.)

Any suggestions? :D?

You should also include Mary Winchester, who dies in the same way Jess does and also reappears in flashbacks/dreams/visions throughout the series.

A less modern option would be Madeleine Elster/Judy Barton in Vertigo. The plot's a bit complicated, but that's a fairly early case of a woman in a refrigerator (there's a flashback that reveals that Judy impersonated the already-dead Madeleine; Judy also dies at the end of the film).
