What does it mean to dream about your death and why you shouldn’t worry

What does it mean to dream that I am dying?

Dreaming about one’s own death or that of someone else could scare us a lot, but it is actually more common than you think.

For this reason, and so that you are calmer, in this article you will be able to find some meanings of dreaming that you are dying.

What is the meaning of dreaming with the dead?

Dreaming about one’s death is usually distressing and when we wake up we may feel some anxiety, as if our life was really in danger.

However, the meaning of death in dreams has more to do with strong processes of change than with a premonition or a real death.

This is because, symbolically, death is the greatest and most definitive transformation process that exists.

So if you dream that you die, your mind may be preparing to live or may already be experiencing an important transition.

These are some of the most common dreams and their meaning:

Dreaming that you drown

Dreaming that you drown can mean that you are immersed in a family, emotional or work situation that generates a lot of anxiety.

These dreams are usually warnings for your body and mind to take action to get out of that environment or problem that is literally suffocating you.

Dream about your funeral

If you are about to close an important cycle in your life, you may dream of your own funeral or burial.

But don’t be scared, this doesn’t mean you’re going to die, it simply means that an important stage has ended and it’s time to move on.

These dreams can also mean the possibility of renewing yourself, making new and better decisions, as well as avoiding making the same mistakes of the past.

Dreaming that you die and revive

The meaning of dreaming that you revive or resurrect can have the opposite meaning of the previous dream.

While dreaming about a funeral or seeing yourself dead means that a very difficult period has ended, dreaming about reviving or resurrecting can mean the opposite: that there are still unfinished business.

This dream warns us that we still have conflicts to resolve with a person or situation before we can close it.

Dreaming about someone else’s death

Now, if in your dream it is not you who dies but a loved one, such as a family member, a friend or your partner, it probably means that an important change is coming in your relationship with that person.

This relationship may end or change drastically, and this may be both good and bad.

So now you know, if you dreamed about death (either yours or someone close to you) these are the possible meanings.
