What does it mean when you dream about someone dying?

Answer:
Answer 1
Dreams communicate through symbols, and many dream symbols are overly dramatic. "Death" often represents the end of one stage of life and the beginning of another stage. It may be something as simple as the end of a school term or something as life-changing as being fired from a job.

Answer 2
That you are going through some sort of change in your life.

Answer 3
When you dream of someone dying it could mean that you don't want them in your life anymore.

Answer 4
When you dream of death it means the ending of something.

Answer 5
It means you are worried or cautious about that person and care about them. Or the dreamer is under stress, for example when a parent dreams about a dying child, it means she is worried for her child.

Answer 6

Answer 7
Dreams about death usually represent a significant transition in life, such as a graduation, marriage, new job, or some other big change. In the imagery of the subconscious, one phase of life is passing away as a new phase begins. See attached link below for further examples and discussion.

Answer 8
Old superstitions claim that dreaming about death means that someone will die in the near future. Considering the fact that thousands of individuals die daily across the world, that "prophesy" has 100% chance of coming true. But the dream has nothing to do with any of the deaths, any more than dreaming about morning causes the sun to rise.
