Dreaming of death
Dream meaning & Smorfia numbers
Meaning of the Dream
Dreaming of death — your own or a loved one's — is almost always a dream of renewal, not an omen: something in your life is ending to make room for the new. Folk tradition agrees, with the saying "dreaming of death lengthens life".
Psychological Reading
The psyche uses death as a metaphor for endings: of a role, a habit, a relationship. Dreaming of someone's death can mean your bond with them is changing shape, not that something will happen to them.
Esoteric Meaning
Like Arcanum XIII of the tarot, dreamed death is the great transformer: it invites you to let die what is already over, so the soul is not held in a finished season.
