To put it another way, dream interpretation is all about ascribing meaning to the images, occurrences, and things that we experience in our dreams in order to make sense of them. Dream researchers believe that the things we dream about do not actually reflect the events that take place in our waking lives. On the contrary, it is an indication or representation of something else.
A Number of dream interpretations
If you have a dream in which you or a loved one dies, particularly if it is your spouse, it may be a sign that your real-death connection isn’t as healthy as it should be. Having a vision of someone dying can signify that you are afraid of losing them or that they are leaving you. If you have had similar dreams concerning a friend or another member of the family, you should probably reevaluate your relationship with that person. These kinds of dreams may be trying to tell you that you need to take some action, such as increasing the amount of time you spend with the other person or the amount of communication you have with them, in order to re-establish the same level of bonding that you once had but that is now fading away or breaking down.
A death dream could also mean that something significant in your life has come to an end, which is still another possible interpretation. It may be the end of a significant conviction that you have had for a long time, the end of a job, the end of a marriage, or something else. It’s possible that you’re making an effort to break free of the conventional morals and guidelines for living that you’ve been adhering to for so many years. It may just indicate that you are striving to create a new version of yourself.
This type of dream can often be interpreted to signify that you have seen a shift in the characteristics of a particular person. If you had a dream in which you witnessed a close friend pass away and you know this friend to be an honest person, then such a dream could suggest that you and this friend have not always been honest with one another in your dealings in the past. The dream about dying could be taken as a metaphor for the death of your honesty in real death.
If you look at it from a scientific perspective, having nightmares or unpleasant dreams could be an indication that a person is going through some kind of stressful or anxious situation or is having some kind of mental disturbance. Possible causes include an underlying health condition, substance addiction, a sense of embarrassment or guilt, and feelings of embarrassment or guilt.
If the individual who appeared in your dream is still living, each of the interpretations presented above can be applied. On the other hand, things would be different if a loved one of yours had recently passed away and your dream mirrored this reality. It makes no difference if the individual passed away recently or many years ago; the subconscious mind may be using this as a means to help the person heal from the loss and suffering they have experienced.
