What does it mean to dream of a death?
Dreams about a death are not usually about the end of a life. In many cases, they are actually a communication about a major change within you or in your life.
For example, if you are going through a divorce, your identity changes from being a married person to being a single person. A dream about death in this case is a symbol of the “end” of your married self.
A “death” dream can symbolize transitions, such as the transformation of a limiting belief, a quantum leap in growth, a rite of passage, the end of a cycle, a change of identity, etc.
Dreams that predict a ‘possible’ death
A dream about the imminent death of a loved one could be a real prediction. But sometimes a dream about death is a call for help to avoid a death, yours or someone else’s. This type of dream can be a warning to you about the state of your health. You may be given a warning because the person in your dream needs your immediate help to stay alive. A person, or pet, may have a life-threatening condition that you haven’t realized. They may not realize that their life force energy is waning. In such cases, a warning dream can allow you to be instrumental in saving a life.
A person may not really want to die, but may be so depressed and hopeless that they give up on life. If you have a dream about someone in this situation, it is a direct call for help. The spirit sends that dream because it is possible that you could come to the aid of that person in some way, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Making a phone call or visiting a person who is self-destructive or suicidal may be exactly what that person needs to prevent a death.
For example, one woman told me her story about putting a gun to her head on her birthday, ready to pull the trigger. A lonely old neighbor suddenly called and said, “I had a dream about you last night and I remembered that today is your birthday. Please come for a piece of cake.” That turned out to be a life-saving action.
Dreams that predict imminent death
A certain percentage of dreams are a real warning of impending death. What could be the reason for having a dream that predicts the death of a relative, friend or pet? Most people tell me they don’t like to know such things ahead of time.
These can be considered as preparation dreams. They come to alert and prepare the dreamer for the upcoming death of a loved one. When you have a dream of this nature, you have been given a gift. You are informed about the loss; And by knowing ahead of time that a loved one is about to die, you can help other family members be prepared.
The spirit may be calling you to help the dying person transition to the other side. There are powerful ways to help someone die peacefully. You can speak directly to the person and be intuitive when discussing the rewards of the afterlife. Spirit will help you help another in this difficult time.
You can also help a loved one who is leaving by praying or meditating over that person and sending thoughts of peace and love. This can be done effectively in a visualization technique I call: “Sending the Light of Love.”
