What does it mean when you dream of yourself dying?

Answer 1

It doesn't mean anything specific. What's important is how you felt during the dream. Were you scared of something? Were you accepting death? This is a glimpse into your own mind.

Common superstitions say dreaming of death means that someone in your family is going to have a baby. Such old superstitions have no basis in fact.

Dreams are your own thoughts which other people can't read.

Consider: Has anything special happened to you recently?

Also consider: Do you think about dying when you are awake?

To dream about the death of a loved one, suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what do you like about him. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. Alternatively, it indicates that whatever that person represents has no part in your own life.

To dream of your own death, indicates a transitional phase in your life. You are becoming more enlightened or spiritual. Alternatively, you are trying desperately to escape the demands of your daily life. To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something. On a negative note, to dream that you die may represent involvement in deeply painful relationships or unhealthy, destructive behaviors. You may feeling depressed or feel strangled by a situation or person in your waking life. Perhaps your mind is preoccupied with someone who is terminally ill or dying. Alternatively, you may be trying to get out of some obligation, responsibility or other situation. To see someone dying in your dream, signifies that your feelings for that person are dead or that a significant change/loss is occurring in your relationship with that person. Alternatively, you may want to repress that aspect of yourself that is represented by the dying person. Also, in certain Asian countries where people are believed to have a limit to how long they live; it is believed that the person dying is gaining an extra year of life.

I've heard that if you dream of a death you'll receive a message from the living. Like, you might get an email, a card or letter from someone you haven't heard from for a long time.

Answer 2

Dreams about dying are quite common and need not be fearful. Dreams use symbols to represent their real meaning, and "death" often symbolizes transition or transformation. When one moves from one stage of life to the next, from childhood to adolescence, from single to attached or from active adult to old age, the subconscious mind can interpret the loss of the past status as a death. At these same times of life, pregnancy dreams are common, representing the new life that is about to appear.

Because dreams tend to exaggerate, the change can be relatively minor - a birthday or the end of a television season. The specific meaning of the dream will be unique to each dreamer.
