Despite the fact that in real life the death of a person is usually perceived as something tragic, from the perspective of many religions the end of life is understood as a new round in the development and reincarnation of the human soul. Therefore, the death of a person seen in a dream does not mean his imminent death. Such a vision indicates a favorable time for setting goals and reassessing values. Remember more details, and the dream book will help you understand the meaning of the dream.
Inner Circle
Friends and relatives
To dream of the death of a familiar person means your liberation from memories and events from the past. The death of familiar people is often dreamed of in the event of loss of “contact” or “common language” with them.
The death of a loved one indicates liberation from remorse that eats from the inside. Deep-rooted feelings of guilt prevent one from fully expressing oneself and interfere with personal development. Also, this vision may be caused by concern for the life and health of people dear to you.
The death of loved ones, no matter how terrible it was in a dream, does not at all mean the untimely death of relatives, but only indicates the good health of those in the dream, and the fact that the sleeper needs to find the strength to understand, forgive and get closer to them.
Family
By understanding the meaning of a dream about the death of a living person, you can avoid many troubles and dangers that lie in wait along the way.
The death of a mother indicates actions in the future for which one will be ashamed, and also suggests the opportunity to establish contact and mutual understanding with the parent, who feels a great need to communicate with her child.
The death of your father in a dream, if he is alive in reality, indicates insidious intrigues and conspiracies against you. People who have their own business should take a close look at their partners, since there is a possibility that they are planning some kind of financial scam.
If, due to strained relations with your sister or brother, you dreamed that they died, the Dream Book of Medea advises making peace with your relatives. They really need your care, support and understanding.
For a woman, seeing the death of her long-ill husband in a dream promises his speedy recovery. A man's dream of his wife's death indicates a subconscious fear of public condemnation. You should not reveal your fears and concerns to people around you.
Those people who dreamed of the death of a loved one should pay attention to the speech and behavior of their loved one. Perhaps right now the chosen one lacks attention and care.
Already deceased husband
In order to correctly interpret the death of a person who has already died, it is worth taking a close look at the details of the image you see. For a widow, the death of her husband in a dream indicates a subconscious feeling of guilt towards him, which haunts and depresses the dreamer. Also, this picture predicts the need to stop mourning for your husband and begin to arrange your personal life.
Examples of interpretations
A painful and painful death is not a good omen - a person risks becoming a victim of a cruel manipulator who will cause him a lot of suffering and trouble. For older people, pain in a dream that led to death represents the development of the disease.
Nostradamus, one of the most famous interpreters of dreams in the entire history of mankind, believed that the image of death prophesies the appearance of a key event in the dreamer’s life, and how favorable it will be for a person does not depend on him. Also in this dream book, death is a reminder to a person that his time on earth is not endless. Other revelations from the prophet include the following statements:
- The death of a relative or friend means a conspiracy and rebellion against the dreamer. You should be wary of flattery and false promises, especially from close people.
- Death as a result of natural disasters foreshadows changes that will not be to the taste of a person. Being drowned or choking in a dream means a person is wasting his energy.
- Watching someone else die means an incurable disease that will soon manifest itself in the dreamer. However, such a sad fate can be avoided if a person is able to open his heart to other people (in other words, it is necessary to help others).
- Many deaths in one dream. The death of many people, as well as dreams in which the dreamer sees many corpses, are radical changes in his fate or in the life of his relatives. This is one of the omens of global cataclysms, as well as local disasters (major accidents, epidemics, accidents, etc.).
Excitement during such a dream indicates the scale of future changes. To grieve for a deceased loved one means that in the near future the dreamer will be forced to break off relations with his or her spouse. It is curious that participation in a funeral is a happy sign that promises longevity for the dreamer and favor of fate.

Frequent dreams in which a person experiences his own death indicate that he has an important goal or mission in this life that he has not yet completed. Thus, such a dream does not have a clearly negative or positive connotation.
Watching someone die makes the dreamer feel guilty; it can also indicate fear for the lives of his relatives. The death of a child promises the sleeping person monstrous injustice, as a result of which he may lose faith in people.
Death, which a person dreams of in the form of a noseless old woman with an ugly face, portends a painful choice between two or more people. Regardless of the solution to this problem, a person will face resentment and hatred towards him.
To fall from a cliff into the sea and wake up a second before the collision means that in the future the dreamer will be able to rely only on himself, since any help he accepts from the outside will harm him.
David Loff
The American psychologist believes that the basis of “deadly” dreams is the internal expectation of suffering, pain and reprisal against oneself. For the dreamer, the world seems full of threats and disappointments, so the dark thoughts repressed into the subconscious manifest themselves in the form of dreams and experiences of borderline states (death among them). It is necessary to pay attention to the following details in your dream:
- Out-of-body experience. A condition in which the sleeper feels as if he is floating in the air, while his physical body continues to lie in bed without moving. Most often, the presence of such an experience speaks of a hidden desire for one’s own death as a way to get rid of suffering. Dreams ending in suicide may also indicate this.
- Awakening. If a person suddenly woke up at the moment of death (which most often happens), then this indicates concern for his life, as well as for the fate of his relatives. On the contrary, dying for a long time in a dream indicates the dreamer’s reluctance to change anything in his life.
- Dream characters. Strangers represent an extension of the human “I”. For example, a murderer or a thief may be present in a dream, which indicates certain inclinations of the dreamer himself. The death of these people is a rejection of oneself, a struggle with one’s own desires and an attempt to remake one’s personality.
In addition, any image of auto-aggression directed against oneself may indicate severe emotional exhaustion. It should be understood that the symbolism of death is also associated with the image of peace, rest from the bustle of the world. The dreamer, in order to understand why a person dreams about the death of a person, may need to temporarily step away from a busy social life and retire.
Gustav Miller
Death represents the emergence of something new in life, which is impossible without the death of the old. The same image can be used by the subconscious to persistently signal a person about the need to end a meaningless relationship, quit an unloved job, or take care of his appearance.
In this context, one’s own death is a harbinger of personal transformation, which promises positive changes, since if change is possible, it means that all is not lost. The worst is a dream in which the sleeper settles scores with his life - this speaks of indifference to himself and reluctance to grow as a person.
Watching someone else's death (especially if a familiar person died in a dream) symbolizes the desire to stop communicating with this person, but due to indecision or shyness, the dreamer cannot do this.
Dying followed by rebirth is a positive sign - often such dreams come to people after overcoming any fear or phobia. Victory over complexes is also associated in the subconscious with the dying of the old and ineffective “I”.
Save from death
If in a dream you happen to save a person from death, it means that in real life a situation will arise on the solution of which many human destinies will depend. If the person who was saved is an acquaintance, then most likely this person needs to be given help and support in reality.
Saving a long-dead person from death is interpreted by the Wanderer’s dream book as a warning to be deceived. Perhaps it is worth looking around and carefully analyzing the situation that has arisen in real life; most likely they want to take advantage of your gullibility and kindness for selfish purposes.

Death of other people

Bosses and colleagues
Dreams about the death of another person are often interpreted ambiguously. On the one hand, the vision foreshadows the elimination of obstacles and obstacles on the path to achieving one’s own goals and ambitions, reconciliation with oneself, reassessment of values, and changing priorities. On the other hand, it indicates upcoming changes in life, the quality of which directly depends on the actions of the sleeping person. You should make every effort and show yourself “in all your glory” at work, since it is likely that all your efforts will be appreciated by your superiors.

Message about the death of a person

Feeling relieved after receiving a message is interpreted as a favorable completion of all started work.
If you experienced confusion or fear in a dream, it means that in reality you will have to work hard to deal with the obstacles and circumstances that have arisen. Also, such a picture speaks of a reluctance to take responsibility and answer for one’s actions to others.

In most cases, a dream - news of a person’s death, means the dreamer’s subconscious fear for the life or health of people dear to his heart.
