Dreaming of Death
death · mixed: often the opposite of what it shows

- Your living friends appear dead: a sign they are in good health
- You see someone else dead: quick news from friends, or unkind treatment from them
- You see one of your family dead: sorrow and disappointment
- You hear of a friend or relative's death: bad news from them soon
How you felt

- Transformation: part of your life may be ending to make room for something new
Ask yourself
- What is ending for me?
- What could be born from this ending?
