What Does It Mean When You Dream About Someone Dying?
Death is unfortunately just another part of life. Like birth, it is a stage that happens in everyone’s life. In addition, everyone holds in common the trait of dreaming at night. Dreams are thought to show that your mind is healthy and interacting around you. When you get enough sleep at night, you will dream even if you do not remember the dreams. During some of these dreams, you may experience a loved one or someone else dying. Although this can be terrifying to experience during the dream, it is generally not a sign that someone is going to die. Instead, death is normally interpreted as one of the following dream meanings.
What Does Mean When You Dream About Someone Dying?
Dreams related to death can be extremely intense and traumatic to experience. You may wake up feeling panicked or worried about your loved one who died in the dream. Although this can be stressful to experience, it is normally not a sign that you should panic. There are many possible reasons why you may dream about death at night.
You Feel Afraid
Fear and feelings of being afraid are extremely common themes for your dreams. You may feel afraid of losing someone, and that could be the reason why you are dreaming of death. Likewise, death-related dreams may be caused by terrible childhood memories or phobias of water, public speaking, heights or similar things. Your mind is imprinted by the fears that you have, and your subconscious brings up this sensation of fear during your dreams.
Feelings of Guilt
After a terrible experience, you may feel guilty about your role or your lack of a role. Even if you were not involved in the situation, you may feel guilty about not being able to help. This is especially true after the death of a loved one. Even though there is no reason for you to feel guilty, it is common for these types of feelings to develop. When this happens, you may continue to have dreams about death.
You Feel Betrayed
One of the common reasons for seeing death in a dream is because you feel betrayed. You may dream that the person or people who betrayed you die for their betrayal. In this case, the dream is a sign that you want vengeance and remain upset by their actions.
Your Personality Is Incomplete
Sometimes, there are people who have too much control in your life. If a loved one is domineering and makes decisions for you, you may feel that they are dying as a way for your subconscious to escape from their control.
There Is a Psychological Disturbance
Your mind is not intended to be in a constant state of stress. When you experience a traumatic situation, you can experience psychological and emotional disturbances for a long time afterward. Long-term psychological disturbances can end up taking root within your subconscious mind. When you fall asleep at night, these negative feelings intermingle with your dreams to create thoughts of death or other traumatic situations.
Transformations
A dream of death can be an indication of transformations in your normal life. In a way, death is a type of rebirth, so it is often a sign of a figurative or literal rebirth in real life. Like the phoenix, your new habits, relationships and goals are rising out of the ashes of your past. As a result, you may experience dreams about death when you are suddenly experiencing major changes and transformations in your real life.
A Fear of Loss
Even if you do not have a traumatic event or negative feelings in your current life, that does not stop you from fearing loss. When you love someone, it is normal to fear losing them. This fear is replayed in your dreams by the person, loved one or family member actually dying. Don’t worry though—it is not a sign of the future or what is currently happening to them.
You Could Be Pregnant
Although there is no proof of this idea, a number of people have reported dreaming of death before or right after they get pregnant. This may be due to a more literal interpretation of death as a type of rebirth.
You Are Not Living Up to Your Potential
When you are not fulfilling your dreams and living up to your potential, you may feel guilty or unhappy. These feelings may result in you dreaming that you or someone else dies in the dream.
Negativity
At a very basic level, dreams of death could be a sign that you feel worthless, unhappy or exceptionally negative. These feelings cause your dreams to take a negative turn until you can become confident and happier in your normal life.
Instead of dreaming about someone dying, you may dream about someone who is already dead. One interpretation of this dream is that you feel like you are surrounded by people who do not really understand you. It could also mean that you are experiencing a material or personal loss that is effecting your outlook on the world.
Dead siblings in a dream is typically a sign that you miss spending time with your siblings. Meanwhile, dreaming of a dead parent or loved one talking to you is often a sign that you are trying to work through their death and come to terms with it. Dreams are often indications of what is going on in your mind, so they show that you are consciously or subconsciously concerned about a loved one who recently passed away.
If you see someone that is already dead, it is normally a sign that you miss that person. These dreams often occur around important anniversaries or during times when you are more likely to think about the person. Parents may also dream about a lost child because they want to keep them in their hearts. They may also dream about the child as an adult or graduating high school because they wish that they could see them grow up and have a happy life.

I just woke up from a dream where i got married with someone and then moments later my mom died. I woke up sobbing. It was terrifying and i dont want to experience it again. I immediately searched it up but i have no idea what it means. I love my mom sooo much but I dont always show it and I feel like Im a bad daughter. There was a moment in the dream where her ghost came back and I asked her if I was a good daughter and she said I wasnt but i still feel like she thinks I dont love her even though shes one person I cant live without. I never want to lose her.

So I dreamt about this guy I loved before being literally dead, I cried my heart out for some reasons and felt my heart ache.. so bad. One year had already passed since we kinda split up and we don’t really have any contact with each other til four or six months ago? so it really threw me offguard when I suddenly dreamt about him ‘dead’. I don’t even know how to feel about all these right now, I’m so confuse

Your dream is a reflection of your social and emotional influences. Death is often a manifestation of change. It seems that he has passed or that you are no longer communicating with him. Since he is no longer in your life, ensure that you share your kindness and compassion at all times. If he has passed, then this will help you honor his memory. It will certainly help draw positive people and energy into your life. Have a great day, Daily!

I had a dream that my older sister died. My brother in law, myself, my mom, niece and nephews were crying so hard. I dont know why, but I had seen a photo in the dream that showed me what had happened to her, which turned out to be head trauma so bad that her brain was exposed. Apparently we had all been told that she was in surgery to help her and then she died. Hated seeing and feeling all of that.

I had a dream my mom got shot in the head and died in front of me. People were protesting in the streets for her. I woke up sobbing and immediately called to make sure she was fine. It was one of those dreams that felt sooo real I HAD to give her a call

These dreams are manifestations of your knowledge of recent shootings and other violent events. Your decision to call her shows the strength of your connection with your mother. You will find great benefit in abstaining from consuming violent and dramatic media. Share your kindness and compassion at all times, as this will reduce the frequency of similar dreams from manifesting in the future. Have a great day, Barbs!

This dream I had last night, it was my biggest fear is drowning and water. I refuse to go on a cruise because I hate not having control over any uprising situation.
I dreamt my that boyfriend and I went on a cruise and there was another woman around with us however it wasn’t in a affectionate sort of way. it was as if she was a cousin or aunt with my bf “parents” however the parents were my parents. any ways, there was an open area on the boat, we were all enjoying ourselves drinking and dancing. I notice the boat tipping so I told my loved ones I was going to be on the opposite end of the boat to prevent getting by the water. the boat tips over to the side, everyone is yelling and running for safety. I some how go end up outside of the boat on solid ground with my bf’s parents(again, my parent faces) and we’re being told they found my bfs body and is dead. I AM CRYING, and I cant stop, I’m scared, sad, heart broken. I’m telling myself how do I move forward-I love him with everything I am. we live together, everything of his is at home when we return. bad memories and good memories but none the less they’re MY memories. and his dad(who is my dad) looks at me as if he’s troubled or shocked saying I don’t know.so then I jump to walking through my apartment door and as I walk into my room, my bf is sleeping on the bed and wakes up and I ran to him crying because I had dreamt him dying. he just consoles me…and I woke up with a panic attack
a about 4 days ago, my sister had an altercation with my aunts which may cause more separation from my dads family. and I’m sad because after my grandma passed in 2015, my dad family has fallen apart. his brother, wife along with 3 of my closest cousins have completely separated themselves from the whole family. we’ve come to peace with it. I don’t want the family to fall apart anymore than we have. could this be the reason why about my dream

I had a dream that an old childhood friend died. We currently only keep in touch through rare Facebook encounters, but the love for her is there. However, I’m curious to know of it is related to having caught my partner in a lie and being unhappy for some time. I gave up my dream job for this person and we are in a rough economic situation.

This is a little strange in my opinion, recently I had a dream where I was in a car with my boyfriend at an intersection. The light was red. Soon the light turned green. We started moving, but once we reached the middle of the intersection a car came speeding toward us running a red light. The car “t-boned” us on the driver’s side, my boyfriend’s side. A bunch of blood and screaming later I was pulled out of the car and so was my boyfriend. I only had a few cuts here and there, but my boyfriend had it worse. I don’t want to go into detail, but I’ll just say it was bloody. The impact had killed him. I then woke up in a cold sweat. I have anxiety so instead of crying I had a panic attack. Earlier today my boyfriend mentioned a nightmare he had. When I asked him about it he explained my dream except I was the one driving and I’m the one who died. So, what does this mean?

Last night I decided to move on from a love interest that happens to be my best friend-he is in an unhappy relationship but I have been kind of waiting for 2 years. In my dream he died from lung cancer and I was sobbing that I lost my best friend and I loved the boy. What does this mean? Does is signify I should move on or I shouldn’t take him for granted?

You love him so much that you are always thinking of him and are subconsciously are afraid that you will lose him, which is a justified fear, because he isn’t your boyfriend yet and people sometimes die young. I can relate to your situation about the boy.

Okayyy this one is weird. I had a dream that I went to a new high school and there a I saw a bunch of people I haven’t seen for years. After that I went to my first class and there was a random boy in my class who had a crush on me. Mid class, he started bleeding out of his chest but I guess it was a brain tumor ?? It was weird because no one was freaking out including me. I was sure that he had died but apparently he ended up living ? Anyways , thanks !
