Death Dream Meaning

When people email me after having a dream of death, then they normally have a very interesting few weeks. This is because the death dream is like a spiritual lock, in that something has been unlocked. It is like the matrix, where your energy will change. The only bible I use to interpret death in dreams is Enoch, this is because he never died in the bible. I don't think any of the other parts of the bible should be taken into account in my spiritual experience. I will talk about that later.

But first, think of the "death" tarot card. Death in a dream is about transformation, and in my experience spiritual change, maybe a layer of a timeline that you have forgotton. The following dreams were channelled by my great aunt who was a medium in the 1960's and from welsh folklore.

• Dreaming of dying yourself means a new beginning a bit like the tarot card death.
• To dream of many people dying is about the fact something needs to end in order for a good outcome.
• If someone you know who is still alive and you dream of them dying then this is about like anything you will have another chance at something to do it again.
• In your dream your partner dies you have trouble with that person. Or maybe there is a problem between you and them, or maybe a fear of losing them.
• If your parent dies in your dream this means you are becoming independent. The grown-up stuff is starting now, and if you are an adult it can mean a big decision is on it's way.
• A friend dies in your dream means that friendship is changing or ending. Or the part of you connected to them is changing.
• When you dream about funerals then something is over. 
• If you feel invisible or ignored at your own funeral watching then this is connected to the fact you feel ignored in a situation.
• When you kill someone in a dream it means you must destroy a bad habit/trait. 
• To dream of a loved one dying in a dream can indicate feeling overwhelmed 
• If you drown or choke to death, then this is about not being heard.
• If you have a dream where you see something scary and this makes you think of death it means your brain is processing something in life.
• If you dream of someone being murdered then this is about making sure you should do something now rather than later.
• To die of a natural cause, such as a heart attack or a disease means that you need to think long term. If someone else dies of a natural cause in the dream this is about stopping something that has got out of control, you may find that a number of situations will happen that require you to make some important decisions.

What is the biblical meaning of the dream of death?

It's not just a dream you can forget. In my view, this is what your dream means biblically and I only use Enoch in this dream interpretation as the other parts of the bible are now powerful enough:

• Death dreams - If you have this dream biblically it means judgement. Enoch saw visions of the dead, the afterlife and judgment but he never died. That is why I think your death dream is your window to spiritual reality. Also, Enoch was all about showing people what happens after death wakes them up.
• Dreaming of the dead means you are waiting - in Sheol, Enoch says this is where the spirits wait to be judged. If you dream of dead people, they might be in that in-between place visiting you.
• Dreams of your death could be God saying "Get ready." "Fix your life now."
• Enoch mentions fallen angels - Watchers who taught forbidden knowledge about death and the afterlife. Strange death dreams could mean spirit warfare - good vs evil fighting over you.
• Dreaming about your death = Knowing your fate - Enoch saw what happened to souls. If you die in a dream, you might be seeing a glimpse of where you are going - hell or heaven - so you can change course.
• Many deaths or mass death in a dream = This is prophetic vision: Enoch saw the flood, the end times, mass destruction. And, in big death dreams might be warnings of what's coming - Enoch had death dreams with angels. Those bright beings or guides in your death dreams may be angels telling you truth.
• This is a dream about righteous versus wicked deaths in dreams: Enoch saw the righteous dead in peace and the wicked in torment. 
• If you dream about people dying you know in your dream biblically it shows their spiritual state.

Is the dream of death good or bad?

This is a good dream, but a difficult one. Death is the ultimate ending in waking life, it means an end is coming. Dying in a dream (yourself) might appear to be terrifying, or joyful it really depends on the context of the dream. The actual death featured in your dream can be rather emotional. Now, the good news is that death dreams are about change. For death to occur, we must end old feelings, and remove outdated values as a brand new life is on the horizon. 

I also feel this dream calls for your own understanding your wishes and desires. I do feel you must focus on removing the emotional impact of the dream to enable you to consider it's meaning and also identify how it can affect the way you approach your life.

What does it mean to dream of a dead person?

• If the dream features a dead person who is a friend or acquaintance then it is important to take into account exactly what this person signifies to you in waking life. 
• Seeing a dead body in the dream is about the fact you are currently quite tired. If your lover passes away can this represent the 'death' of the old relationship. 
• To dream of seeing a dead body can mean that you will have to deflect something in life. 
• If in the dream there is many bodies this is about a lack of concern for others. In my spiritual work seeing your own dead body can indicate that you will seach for a new start.
• If in your dream you are looking at someone's body (or your own) from above or you are struggling to go back into your body, or perhaps averted from your body is a sign of contradiction. There is a decision that needs to be made but you are unsure of the best way forward. These dreams are usually because you are trying to understand the realities of life that impact on your everyday life.
• To dream of a mother dying means that your motherly instincts are going to be challenged in waking life. Maybe you should try to be a lot more patient and try to wait for great things to happen. It is important to work out why the person died in your dream. 

What does a loved one dying in your dream mean?

It is important to understand the particular loss of life and why this has happened in your dream. The actual death of a family member is anxiety for that person's well-being. 

The actual death might be access to your thoughts. It can show that you have a problem with the reality of your love for that person, it can also show repressed anger in the direction of the person that died. Ultimately, if the person that died is a partner it might herald the end of a romantic relationship.

What does a stranger dying in your dream mean?

To dream of a dying stranger means that you will have the advancement of wealth in your life. Consequently, it is important to learn how the stranger is connected to you in the dream. It might be that the randomness of life is the main problem. In this case, taking a look at stranger's loss of life and your link with the other people in the dream is essential. The particular death of the stranger might signify life's stereotypes. It can also mean that something in your life is going to die and move on. Normally, this dream means that you are required to discover self-understanding.

Thus don't get worried about anyone dying: that is not exactly what the dream is usually about. These dreams contain the answer to elements of life. (not death) 

• To see a stranger dying in front of you represents that you need to set goals. It means that at the moment, you're lacking a wonderful chance to have ultimately new and incredible life. 
• To see a stranger die of old age means it is important to modify and perhaps remove bad habits such as smoking, or drinking. We sometimes finish things too early. For example, we would finish a romantic relationship before giving it a proper go, or perhaps drop out of training for an event too early. 

What does it mean to see a pet dying in your dream?

If a pet dies in your dream, such as a dog, cat, rabbit etc then think about what the pet symbolizes in your life. You might decide the actual pet signifies your childhood or comfort. Also, think about how the pet passes away, if the killing is done in cold blood within the dream, without any regret, and it is although getting rid of pets was obviously a normal thing to do. The particular dream marks a healthy stage in the growth and development of your life. Because as children we rely on our own mother and father or a pet for comfort. The death in this sense portrays that the comfort we feel should come from within. It is a wake-up call to be free to create your own values and this also helps you to turn out to be your own expert. The effect of pets is so strong on children that disposing of the old values that you have been carrying maybe difficult in life.

What does it mean to dream of my baby, son or daughter died in a dream?

To dream of your baby dying is a traumatic dream. If the baby in your dream is alive - in waking life (your actual baby) then this dream represents your fears. It is important to think about why you had this dream. The baby represents a new beginning and a new start. The child also represents the inner baby in you. It is important to feel happy in life. This dream means that you are feeling rather insecure about the future of certain events. The dream means that you need to try to listen to yourself and give yourself a big hug. Visiting a child’s coffin or that you learn about a child’s death in your dream means that you must ask yourself how old you felt the child was. If the child is nine years old, it may mean you need to set goals for nine years time. To see a child's funeral denotes a new start in life.

Being captive on death row:

If you experience imprisoning you for a crime, for example, you are on death row, ask yourself what appears to be imprisoning you? Who is trying to ending in your life?  There is no doubt about the fact dreaming of death row is super crazy. It can bring about some really super intense feelings, and linger for days. A dream of this can sometimes be so life changing and remember we need to bury our bad thoughts. If you are on death row and know why then it can indicate that you are being forced to transform in life. 

What does it mean to dream of the death of a dead person?

If you experience the death of a family member, friend, or lover in waking life, then you dream of them, you may be experiencing delayed grieving. In the early stages of someone's death in waking life, it’s normal to feel upset that this person abandoned you. Irrational, yes, but typical. If the person has recently died, this dream is common. You may even believe that they were uncompassionate in leaving you to live this life without having them around, and you might even blame the consequence of their death on yourself - perhaps blame yourself for simply not being able to tell them how you feel. Once more, irrational yet normal. Thus, if the person in your dream is a loved one then it is common to have such a dream. To see an older relative or grandma or grandpa in a dream means that you need to try to listen to advice that people give you. You might be dreaming about your feelings regarding grief at losing him or her. When you have this dream it can be a wake-up call that you need to follow the advice of others.

If the person recently passed away in waking life, then this dream means that you are working through the standard phases of loss. It is important to understand that you’re moving through stages of healing in the direction of inner peace. Usually, following the person’s loss of life, it’s typical to have a dream where the person died (in real life) is caring, soft and forgiving. What exactly is occurring during these dreams is that you are naturally forgiving as well as caring for each other, and in addition, you are looking to heal yourself. Once again it's a recovery dream leading you towards a feeling of internal serenity.

What does it mean to see a ghost in your room?

Dreams trigger your body to enter fear reaction, so your entire body releases adrenaline, your heart beats more quickly, and the dreamer may break out in perspiration and - often, struggle to move. This is physiological responses to general fear. Sometimes you get up in the night, open your eyes although the mind remains dreaming. In this state, something interesting happens. As your eyes are open, pictures of the dark bedroom are entering the human brain at the same time as your brain is still in your dream, so, you experience seeing a ghost. Confused, the human brain thinks that something is happening in your bedroom.

Frequently this normally frightens you awake and the ghost's existence vanishes, however, the sweat of your fear lives on. You may have problems trying to get out of bed. This is actually the body’s way of trying to create a secure setting: your muscles are stiff so you don’t get up too quickly. But when the mind wakes up before your body - such as in a very scary dream state: your physical body can’t move because it's still in a dream state.

What does it mean to be haunted by a dead person or demon in the night?

Now let’s proceed to those dreams where you sense you are being haunted by a dead person or even being killed or chased by someone you know is dead in waking life (typically terrifying) or perhaps believe that a presence is really in your bedroom. What can this imply? Once you think about being haunted by something then you must try to carry out protection work by working a spell or through meditation. If in your dream or in your bedroom you see a black-faced demon this normally means that you have opened the gates to the astral world. The demon will try to either have sex with you or attach itself to you by depression. The demon can be either represented in a dream or alternatively be in the physical form. We all possess inner demons but learn to control this negative aspect of our soul. To be attacked by a demon means that you need to seek the protection of Archangel Michael. Light a white candle in his honor and ask for his protection.

To be haunted by something other than a demon, such as a ghost. Ask yourself what issues are you worried about? Reminiscences, shame, remorse? Think about the nature of your dreams lately and ask your self exactly what this ghost represents to you personally. For instance, the ghost can be a person you use to know that passed away, which is nonetheless haunting your thoughts. Think about your relationship with this person. Ask this ghost to go leave you alone through meditation before you go to bed. If this still continues, and you have reoccurring dreams of people that are dead in real life this means that you need to close a door in your waking life, move on and up.

What does it mean to see the devil in your dream?

To see the devil in your dream is typical if you have experienced a strict spiritual upbringing. What happens is that you simply prevent all the information and emotions that you are feeling when you are a child, and you compress your inner thoughts so when you are an adult it is important to try to deal with these emotions, which come out in our dreams. Thus, when you are older this comes back to haunt you. This type of dream is very frightening due to the fact it’s easy to feel that the devil is part of your own guilt. What can you do concerning this dream? You need to find risk-free methods to communicate how you feel in life and how you deal with frustration.

What does it mean to dream of suicide?

Studies show that suicide in dreams is related to the end of something in waking life. So the dream is the symbolic death of something in life, such as a job, relationship. Thus, the desire to die is simply representational of the feelings of ending something. Independence may well feel like desertion. In this instance, dreams of suicide arise when the loss of parent comfort is actually grieved. Dreaming of any loss of life, for example, someone else's suicide may symbolize a change in desires. So, the dream is not necessarily negative.

What does dying from a car crash mean in your dream?

To see yourself or others die in a road accident, is associated with the feeling of releasing emotions. Researchers have summarized that this kind of "what if" dream is useful in reducing the stress of anxiety in daily life. It actually helps the particular dreamer to cope with potential demanding situations. Thus, the dream of being dead or seeing others in the car means that you will be better prepared for things in waking life.

What do dreams of dying or drowning mean?

Dreaming about dying from drowning is all about emotions. Water is our emotional make-up. Therefore, this dream is associated with the actual depths of the mind. To drown in your dream means that emotions will soon be tested. The actual subconscious mind is incurably melodramatic, and also mirrors the particular dreamer's emotions. Dreaming of your own loss of life frequently signifies the changeover from one stage of life to another, such as a child to teenage life, or even mid-life to retirement.

Dreams about other people drowning might also reveal the need to let go of a few negative habits or lifestyles. Once the habit is harmful, such as cigarette smoking or perhaps drug abuse or even poor eating patterns, these hopes for death could be lifestyle preserving!

What do dreams of dying from falling mean?

To die in a dream after climbing a mountain or cliff means that you lack your own personal space at the moment. On the other hand, the particular dream can indicate that what you want in life is going to hard to reach. Think about things that do not have any part in your daily life anymore. In the event you dream about the death of someone else falling off a mountain or cliff, it implies that you have to release the immaturity within and in some instances become more serious.

Falling from a tower or large building means that people will rely on you in the future. It can also signify that it is time to change. Perhaps, others have been relying on you too much.

What does it mean to dream of your mother or father died in your dream?

Death of a mother or father is usually a symbol of moving on to a new phase in life. It implies an end to something in life, normally that you need to release your emotions. It can also mean that you require comfort. Parent dreams have a positive representation. If your mother and father both die, it can suggest that you need to remove your inner worries and struggles. This dream also indicates that you might be having a substantial change in your own life. Your own connection with your mother and father has evolved into a new relationship. This dream can also imply that you need to forget about struggles as a new beginning is on the cards. To have a dream that one of your parents dies, can express fear of loss. So, that is it. Hope you enjoyed this meaning and don't be too concerned in life - oh and don't forget to visit my other sections on the website such as tarot cards. Blessings, Flo x

What can you learn from a dream of death?

Please take note of any emotions that seem out of place or strange. For example, hateful feelings toward someone you love. You can look at these feelings objectively and honestly to see if there is a hidden message. Perhaps there's anger that is hidden, but you don't want to confront it for fear of disrupting your life.

When exploring this way, be careful not to react too strongly. Sometimes dreams can show inappropriate emotions. For example, you might have a dream of your friend dying in which you aren't feeling that way in real life. Sometimes, our unconscious develops a silly sense of humor. It may play games with us or try out new ideas for fun. Maybe the message it's trying to convey is quite different. This message may not say, "I am in love" with my friend (as friendship), but rather, "I need to be more relaxed and less serious about myself."
