Nothing like kicking off a day like wondering what it means to dream about death. Seriously though, for a little dream-obsessed macabre freak like myself, this is an important question. Whether it's your own death or the death of someone you care about, dreaming about it is almost always pretty jarring — but most of us have experienced it at one point or another.No matter what, dreaming about death is unsettling. Even after you wake up, these types of dreams may leave you feeling nervous and uneasy. A death-related dream might feel like a dark portent for the future, but in reality, they’re much less sinister than they may seem. “Death in dreams is really about some kind of change or ending you’re dealing with in your real life,” says Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, professional dream analyst and author. “The subconscious will show us this change in the form of a death so we can better understand the finality of it. We can let go of that which we no longer need so we can grow and embrace that which is coming.” Below, Loewenberg analyzes different dreams about death and what they may mean in terms of what’s going on in your life.
