However, dreaming of Santa Muerte is different and these styles of dreams are usually associated with problems or unfavorable situations with folks that seek to harm us, they will even be associated with problems in business.
Also, dreams of Santa Muerte (or Holy Death) are usually associated with the beliefs and customs of the place where the one that has the dream grew up in or lives in.
