Dreaming of an Epitaph

epitaph, gravestone, tombstone · mostly positive

Surprisingly, an epitaph in a dream is a good sign: a quiet friend, or even a fine marriage.

What happens in the dream

  • You read your own epitaph: marriage to someone now a stranger, of great wealth and standing
  • You read or write an epitaph: much good will come to you from a secret friend

How you felt

  • Thoughts about time passing: the dream may reflect thinking about what you'll leave behind
  • Curiosity: you may wonder how others see you

Ask yourself

  • What would I like to be remembered for?
  • Who is quietly supporting me without my noticing?
