Since ancient times, death has been interpreted and understood only as a change of one life to another one. Perhaps from a difficult life, challenging and intensive work to one of peace and tranquility. Whether it’s true or not, that is precisely one of the main symbolism of death in dreams: change of life. For example, dreaming of death can mean the disappearance of ambitions and selfishness and that leads into spirituality. Dreaming of death somehow suggests the desire to have a change in life, for example, economically, at home, in employment, business or a renewal of life. Dreaming of death may also be a consequence of extreme fatigue and physical exhaustion, which among other things produces melancholy and disappointment over little things in everyday life. This dream also usually happens after living with great enthusiasm due to false optimism and high hopes, but having it all fail.

In spiritualism it states that this type of dream is actually a direct communication with the dead. If the person who appears in the dream is a known enemy, the risk is greater, but if you don’t know the deceased, then you should meditate on the case. For example, if the deceased is a beloved family member (parent, sibling, etc.) then the approach can be interpreted as a warning to protect the dreamer of possible unpleasant situations, but it can also be a visit or loving encounter between parents and children, in which case the dreamer must be thankful. Obviously what has been said changes the meaning, if the dreamer remembers the dialogue with the deceased….
