But are they an omen of what’s to come, some sort of sleepy foreshadowing? Not really, says Adora Winquist, a dream analyst. Dreaming About A Loved One DyingĪlthough any dream about death can spook you, the ones that involve loved ones can be totally terrifying. While that might sound so, you know, final, it’s actually meant to help us let go and make room for what is to come. “Death is the end of life, but to the subconscious dreaming mind, death is the end of life ‘as you now know it.’” Ultimately, death dreams are showing us the changes - and endings - in our own lives in the form of death. “Just as birth dreams are often connected to beginnings in our life, death dreams are often connected to endings,” Lauri Loewenberg, a dream analyst and author of Dream on It: Unlock Your Dreams, Change Your Life tells Romper. But that’s what dreams about someone dying often do. We dream for rest and respite, not to wake up with our hearts racing and in a panic. What do these dreams mean - and are they a warning sign of something sinister? But when you dream about someone dying, your nighttime slumber can look somewhat like a horror movie. You know the kind you’re traveling to some exotic place on your bucket list, eating something decadent that you don’t have to do halfsies with anyone else, your kids aren’t bickering incessantly, and your house is completely clean. When we go to sleep at night, ideally we’d like to have pleasant dreams.
