What does it mean to dream about death?
Dreaming of death is rarely about literal dying, and it's usually not a bad omen. Far more often it symbolizes endings and beginnings — the close of one chapter and the start of another.
Dreaming of your own death can reflect a big personal change, letting go of an old identity, or fear of the unknown. Dreaming of someone else's death may point to a changing relationship, or to a quality they represent that is shifting in you. Death dreams often arrive at turning points.
Instead of fear, try asking: what in my life is ending right now, and what might be trying to begin?
