------------------------------------
DEATH : Death is often the most feared of symbols for obvious reasons.
But it can link to the thought off death or some eerie moment the day before
that really scared you. But really death is not such a bad symbol overall.
It may link to a situation that has just ended in your life or change or transition
such as leaving a job. If a friend dies then it may simply mean that the friendship
has been allowed to die and is now not as important. Death can also link to
things that you cannot do now and limitations placed upon you. So overall
look for changes and transitions in your life and your fears associated with
them. Often your fears associated with this symbol are misplaced - the dream
may simply mean that some very interesting TV show has just ended and you
are having to fill the hole.
KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "I felt this eerie feeling yesterday when... "
- "he could really die" - "I really could have died!"
- "it has ended"
- "This friendship has died" - "That place is no longer a part
of my life"
- "I cannot do that any more"
- "Thinking he was dead in the dream makes me realise just how important
he is in my life"

KILLING : Killing in dreams can have several meanings but they usually
revolve around the wish to resist or stop something. It may mean that you
are simply angry and that in your mind you could kill someone right now. It
may mean that you are wanting to resist pressure to behave in a certain way.
Killing also involves a deliberate action so may link to relationships that
have been ended.
KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "I really hate him"
- "I had an argument yesterday"
- "resist at all costs"
- "not willing to put up with this behavior"
- "ending the relationship"
SUICIDE : Suicide in dreams is a very scarey symbol for many people
as they may see the dream as a possible premonition. It may indeed symbolise
how you feel like you have come to the end of the road and are totally wanting
to end your life. However, it is more likely to mean that you have given up
on some project or relationship and no longer wish to try anymore.
KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "I do feel desperately unhappy"
- "I have given up totally on this issue"
- "I hope he does not give up"
- "I do not know why I bother"
EXECUTION : Executions are extremely deliberate acts. They also take
place at a set time and set place. A dream about an execution may link to
some appointment that you are dreading.
QUESTIONS(to help you see how this symbol refers to your real life) :
-Have you got a crucial work meeting which you are dreading?
-Is there a deadline that you are facing?

DREAM STUDIES : Real dreams featuring death
------------------------
THE DREAM - I am in this graveyard - I see various graves. When I wake
up I think of various charcters in a tv reality show I had enjoyed watching
- it had just ended
THE REALITY The dreamer had been watching a TV reality program non stop. When
this finished there was a hole in her life.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I really enjoyed that TV reality show. It seemed to become part of
my life in the two weeks it ran. I will really miss it."
THE INTERPRETATION Graveyards can symbolise the end of some period of your
life. The previous night a TV reality show had just ended. The dreamer had
watched this every night. Now it was gone it was a big shock to her routine.
Symbolic
Meanings
GRAVEYARD : "a need to move on from something - in this case a need to find
something to fill the space of a TV show now ended"
------------------------------------
DREAM TIP: Think of dream symbols like words in the english language.
Often some symbols like death can simply link to the same word in english.
So then think of ways in which you would use that word to express your current
emotions. For instance you could say that a relationship had been allowed
to die out.
------------------------------------
THE DREAM - I am in a graveyard. I am talking to a gravestone. It is
the grave of my friend. But I was talking as if she was alive.
THE REALITY The dreamer had drifted away from the friend in the dream. They
had not seen each other for a while.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I have not seen my friend for ages. I just realised this yesterday.
Its as if the friendship has died"
THE INTERPRETATION Death dreams will usually symbolise the end to a period
in your life. In this case it links to the dreamers own realization that her
friendship with the person in the dream was now over. It had been allowed
to die.
Symbolic
Meanings
GRAVEYARD : "the dreamers friendship has died out"
------------------------------------
DREAM TIP: Always look to the day before to understand a dream. Dreams
concentrate on small changes in our emotions and feelings. Think about those
new feelings and then try to understand a dream symbol in that way.
------------------------------------
THE DREAM - A Co-workers mother was haunting me. She walked right through
me.
THE REALITY The night before the dreamer had seen a car crash scene. From
far off the victim looked a bit like one of his co-workers. This sent a cold
shiver down his spine.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I saw this guy being helped into an ambulance yesterday evening. It
was really eerie because for a second I thought it was Jon from work"
THE INTERPRETATION This is a difficult dream to understand. The dream featured
the mother of a former coworker. She had died about a month before but that
was now over with. The dreamer had not been worried about this or about her
coworker. So its unlikely that the dream was about that.
Many dreams have a link to the previous day. The dream featured this cold
feeling linked with ghosts. The previous night the dreamer had felt that exact
same sensation of coldness. She had been walking down a road when a man had
collapsed. The ambulance came and the dreamer looked at the man and for a
short time thought it was a friend from work. The man had the same build and
looks. She was sure it probably wasn't him though - the visibility was not
good as it was dark(she thought it best to stay out of the way and so did
not go to check). But she was not 100% sure and was relieved to see her coworker
the next morning.
Symbolic
Meanings
CO-WORKER : "a thought which is in some way related to work or your coworkers"
HAUNT : "an eerie feeling - in this case the real eerie feeling the dreamer
felt the night before"
-------------------------------------------
DREAM TIP : Dreams will focus on things that are important to you right
now. In many cases they will be symbolic representations of the very issues
you wake up thinking about. Those issues maybe small conversations from the
previous day. It depends what your mind is focusing on. If you think a lot
about work then it could be about that. Try to isolate the issues you are
thinking about and interpret a dream in that way. Look for evidence in the
symbols of the things dominating your mind.
------------------------------------------
THE DREAM - I was walking along a long road. It was a forced march(Maybe
there was some other soldiers or people around me). At the end there would
be an execution.
THE REALITY The dream was currently working night and day on a work project.
He felt absolutely exhausted.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I have been working night and day on my work. Its giving me a headache.
I cannot see an end to this and currently my eyes are tired and I feel exhausted."
THE INTERPRETATION Dreams often symbolise our immediate feelings. There is
no doubts that this dream captures the dreamers immediate thoughts. He felt
exhausted and was having to push himself to meet the deadline for this work
project.
If someone is waiting for an execution their wait is painful and tortuous.
That pretty much symbolises the dreamers feelings here. But executions can
often be symbols for a deadline that is looming in the dreamers mind.
Symbolic
Meanings
FORCED MARCH: "the dreamer was forcing himself to get his work done both night
and day"
EXECUTION : "often executions can link to a deadline "
------------------------------------
DREAM TIP: Death in dreams can simply refer to death in real life.
If a friend narrowly escapes death the day before in a car crash then the
dream could be about that. You suddenly became aware of death in a very real
way.
------------------------------------
THE DREAM (background info : my granddads wife just passed away, I
know her but haven't seen her in years, I was sad to learn of the news and
was sad in missing the funeral as I'm in a different country)
I was in a room doing something with my hands (in a sink I think) she appears
in front of the door, I turn to look, she is smiling, as she comes closer
she is happy and I realize its her, I panic and say to myself "Denise, my
god, but your dead Oh MY GOD it is you, you've come to visit me in my dream,
your here oh my god " I scared the dream away, kinda woke up but didn't.
THE REALITY The day before the dream the dreamer had really guilty feelings
from "hoping" what that her granddad wife had left her money in her will as
she could really use the cash. She felt felt so horrible for thinking that.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I feel guilty because my grandads wife has just died. I immediately
wondered if any money would be left to me as we are short of money right now.
"
THE INTERPRETATION Its often difficult to know what to say about dreams with
deceased people in. Its almost impossible to prove life after death. We cannot
truly know if a dream is linked to our own emotions or is some telepathic
message coming from another dimension.
But the day before the dream this dreamer was feeling strong guilt. She was
thinking of what she may receive in the will and was feeling awful for this.
It could show that her granny was forgiving her for this weakness. But it
is more likely to be symbolic of the dreamer coming to terms with her own
guilt. The fact that she felt such guilt meant that she had to come to terms
with it and see her feelings in a more positive light. We all cannot help
our little weaknesses in this case the dreamer was her own worst judge. She
realised that this woman had died. This was the end of this woman's life and
that was truly serious. She at that moment was treating this death with the
respect that it deserved.
In her dream the dreamer realise that the memory of her granddad wife was
alive in her mind. Thats why she was smiling. Its a positive dream and shows
that any guilt she felt was natural and forgiven.
Perhaps the sink symbolises how the dreamer was needing to wash away the guilt
and cleanse her emotions.
Symbolic Meanings
SINK : "cleaning waway the bad feelings and guilt felt because her immediate
feeling was for money"
SMILE : "the dreamer feels absolved and freed from the guilt she felt"
------------------------
DREAM TIP : Think of a death in a dream as a word such as 'ending'.
Then think of the rich and varied ways in which that word can be used in the
English language such as "I am thinking of ending my relationship with my
boyfriend", "My friendship with my friend seems to have ended. I have not
seen her for ages " and "the college term is about to end". Dream symbols
are used in equally rich and varied ways by dreams. Do not make the simple
mistake of saying that dreams about death mean that something in your life
is about to end. Rather you need to think how that dream symbol could apply
in your current life. Think especially of the day before and how a dream symbol
could apply to thoughts you felt then.
----------------------------
THE DREAM I dreamed I poisoned my sister and was trying to cover it
up. She was being kind to me but I was ignoring this and left her some poison
to drink while I was out having a good time with others and denying my crime.
Once I could no longer hide her body or deny her death I admitted it to a
friend and then I was filled with aching, deep remorse that came out in guttural,
horrific screams. I couldn't get rid of the disgust I felt for myself.
THE REALITY The dream was very upsetting to the dreamer. As she pondered it
during the day it's message became more clear. It was a metaphor for her guilt
over denying the truth (represented by her sister who is a person who always
tells the truth).
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I realise now that I am denying the truth in a situation in my life.
I feel so guilty about this."
THE INTERPRETATION Sisters are often very symbolic in dreams. We share our
closest feelings with our sisters. So often sisters link to issues connected
with an openness to new ideas and feelings. Often it links to a simple acceptance
of the truth. That was the case in this dream.
Death often links to a new start. It symbolises the end of one situation and
the beginning of a new one. So here the dreamer is wiping the slate clean
and starting again. She now sees things much clearer in her mind.
Symbolic Meanings
CRIME : "sense of shame and guilt "
HIDE : "deceive yourself - in this case the dreamer is deceiving herself"
POISON : "spoiling something pure "
SISTER : "the dreamers sister was someone who always tells the truth"
------------------------------------
DREAM TIP: During the day we store up thoughts in the short term memory.
Then at night we start to transfer these memories from the day before into
long term memory banks. We integrate them into long term emotions and thoughts.
That is why so many dreams will feature the day before. So think of anything
that you were thinking about then. A dream could link to some event that happened
yesterday. It could link to some worry and concern over some health issue.
It may link to some frustrations over a relationship of some kind. It may
simply link to paranoia's or fantasies in our mind. A dream may also link
to our thoughts about the day ahead and how we are getting ready for what
is about to happen then.
------------------------------------
THE DREAM My dream begins in a hospital. I am dressed in white sick
room clothes, there are two other young men in similar clothes in the room.
There are four beds and the predominant colour in the room in white. I am
pacing the room always aware that I am about to be hanged to death! The noose
hangs near one of the beds and I seem to have the option of walking away from
the noose but something keeps forcing me to the noose. Finally one of the
other men puts on a white hangman's mask and signals me to the noose. I walk
to the noose and suddenly images of my family flash across my head and I firmly
refuse to be hanged, throw the hospital clothes off and walk out of the room.
Needless to say the initial feeling was of fear, hopelessness, loneliness
and everything that goes with it. When I walked away from the noose, I woke
up from sleep and felt VERY happy.
THE REALITY The dreamer was facing an important interview in two days. He
was suffering from an ailment. He was worried that he maybe ill and not able
to put his case across well.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I have to get well because I have an job interview in two days time.
I just will not get the job otherwise"
THE INTERPRETATION Dreams will quite often be about some prominent emotions
from the day before. Other dreams are about the future and how we are relating
to some problem. In this case the dreamer was desperate to get better because
he was due to have an interview. Just like in the dream he was desperate to
shed his hospital clothes. He knew that if he was ill he would probably not
get the job. He had to be at his best.
An execution is very much like a deadline in some ways. An execution takes
place at a set time on a set day(just like a job interview). The time up until
the execution would pass slowly and painfully.
Symbolic Meanings
BED : "something that affects you in a very personal way - in this case its
about health"
CLOTHES : "how you feel inside - the signals you send out on any particular
day or during some situation - in this case the dreamer is feeling ill"
DEATH : "moving into a new phase"
EXECUTE : "a date you are dreading - in this case a deadline for getting better"
HOSPITAL : "in this case a need to recover from this illness"
------------------------------------
DREAM TIP: Dreams can link to some long term issues. Say for instance
you continually fail to assert yourself and get used by other people. Yet
such issues may still be triggered by events and feelings alive in your mind
on that day.
------------------------------------
THE DREAM I'm in a small, wooden planked, dimly lit room with a friend
of mine. There is a small square window on the wall opposite me. In the middle
of the room there sits a fire extinguisher. There is no fire, for some reason
I know I must use it. But before I used it, I need to add a chemical inside
the extinguisher. Then I use it, but it shows no sign of being used. The only
way I can tell that I did anything was by how dizzy I was getting and by how
strange the room began to look. Then I open the door so my friend and I can
get out of the fume filled room and I gain the knowledge that people use the
same chemical I used in fire extinguishers in order to commit suicide. I was
shocked at this information. And then I moved on.
THE REALITY The night the dreamer had this dream she had a fight with her
boyfriend. She subconsciously feared that he might leave her. She thought
afterwards that she was being a bit 'dizzy' and silly. That she had accused
him of using her. These are all things that she regretted and realised that
she was not seeing things clearly.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I have just had a fight with my boyfriend but now I just worry if
he will react to what I said. I just hope I do not lose him. I said some stupid
things like I was being used but thats not true."
THE INTERPRETATION Suicide in dreams can generally be quite disturbing. But
often dreams will use a symbol in a milder form. Here the symbol captures
the same emotions of suicide in that you are so exasperated that you feel
the need to give up. Here that captures the dreamers worries about her boyfriend.
The chemicals are a symbol of reaction. So the dreamer fears that her boyfriend
will react in a way to the fight and just give up. Placing those symbols together
it captures her essential feelings about this in that she feared he would
'react' by 'giving up' on the relationship.
The dizziness maybe symbolise her own lack of clarity of thinking when she
was arguing with her boyfriend. That she was literally being silly and acting
in a dizzy fashion.
The dream also seems to concentrate quite a lot on the words 'BEING USED'.
Maybe that symbolises one theme of the argument. She was 'being used'. Dreams
will occasionally use little strange metaphors like that.
The other symbols are not so easy. Maybe the fumes stand for anger - fuming.
They could also stand for a bad atmosphere that has been created.
Symbolic Meanings
CHEMICAL : "the dreamer fears a reaction"
DIZZY : "the dreamer recognises she was behaving in a silly and dizzy
fashion - she could not see things clearly"
FUMES : "a bad atmosphere has been created"
SUICIDE : "just totally give up on the relationship"
-------------------------
DREAM TIP : The major relationships in our lives are very linked to
our general mood. The way we feel about our boyfriend may link to the way
that we feel about life. Often the two get mixed up in dreams. If we feel
unhappy then we may take out frustrations on loved ones. Dreams are about
moods and feelings many of which are not related to any specific issue. Some
days we just feel good and then the next day we just feel bad. Dreams will
often link to these general feelings.
-------------------------
THE DREAM I dreamt that my coworker friend and I went to a spa and
we going to have massages and get a tan. The beds we had to lay on were dead
naked bodies of women. We laid on them like you would a bed. We were partially
naked too. I could feel its flesh on my back. I was so grossed out but I guess
it was normal at this spa. She had a huge dead lady to lay on because she
is a larger woman, and I had a smaller one. Then I went in some booth to get
a spray on tan. I was afraid of the hygiene, confidence and skills of the
staff. I wanted out of there. I was afraid of the chemicals I would be breathing
in. I did not trust them.
THE REALITY The dreamer had just had a miscarriage.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I want to go about my normal routine even though I have just had a
miscarriage. It will help me get over the heartache. But I am worried that
peope will judge me and think I do not care about losing the baby"
THE INTERPRETATION This dream took place in the period after the dreamer had
had a miscarriage.
This dream concerns a spray on tan. That a symbol of the pampering of our
bodies and the rather shallow pursuits regarding body beauty. After a miscarriage
life becomes deadly serious and people may see getting a spray on tan as an
unusual response to something so serious. For the dreamer a bit of beauty
pampering maybe part of her own recovery. It maybe her way of taking her mind
off things and letting her mind heal.
Yet she is afraid of the chemicals. Chemicals maybe a symbol for a reaction.
So maybe she wants to pamper her body a little with a little beauty care but
is scared that people may see her as shallow. When something tragic happens
we expect a certain response. This is maybe part of this.
Symbolic Meanings
BED : "beds are personal symbols - this time it links to an issue which is
very personally affecting the dreamer"
CHEMICAL : "fearing some sort of reaction - the dreamer does not want to deal
with peoples reaction to her miscarriage"
COWORKER : "emotionally trying to work on something "
FLESH : "get really involved into some argument or idea"
NAKED : "people will see the true you - the dreamer feels vulnerable and exposed
"
TAN : "pampering your body - shallow beauty treatment"
-------------------------------
THE DREAM I am talking to him on msn. He has won a contest and I am
congratulating him. We are both really happy. After a moment, the computer
disappears into thin air, and while he is never actually in the same room
as me, we continue talking with each other. The whole time, I can hear his
voice in my head, and he can hear me, even though we are so far apart. It
is even still really surprising to me how clearly I could hear him even though
I couldn't see him, and how real everything seemed.
Eventually, he asks me to leave the room I am in because he wants me to meet
his friends. I walk out the doorway and find myself in a hallway that is painted
bright orange. There are colours everywhere - bright blue, green, and yellow
being just a few of the most common ones. I am still talking to him in my
head as he introduces me to his friends, who are each represented by brightly
coloured pictures on the wall. Each picture seems very beautiful and unique
in it's own right, and I feel like I am connecting with all of these people
even though they are really just pictures.
The setting shifts so that all of a sudden I am back in the classroom where
I first met him. I am sitting at the front of the class, and I look to my
right and discover that he is sitting right next to me. I am ecstatic to see
him again. The class begins, and the professor enters the room. Except that
it's not the professor that we originally had. Instead, the professor is Death.
So in this case, Death is a skeleton in a black robe, and carrying a scythe.
He is very strict, and every time a student isn't paying attention, he kills
them.
The whole time, I am very frightened of this Death character. Unfortunately,
because the guy I like so much is sitting right next to me, I am finding it
really hard to concentrate on the lesson. Then, at one point in the dream,
I forget about paying attention and I start talking to the one I like. When
I look back, Death is standing right in front of my desk. He is really angry,
and I am certain that I have made a mistake and that he is going to kill me
for sure. Death is towering over me, and I find myself staring right into
his face in absolute fear. Even though his face is a skull and he has no eyes,
I am very aware that he is looking right at me. I also get the impression
that somehow he knows exactly what I am thinking, and exactly how I feel,
like there is nothing I can hide from him because he knows everything. Then,
just as I think that my time has come, Death surprises me by simply saying,
"pay attention", and goes back to teaching the course. So then I am very confused
by his leniency when everyone else suffered the consequences for being distracted.
But I also do pay attention after, as does the one sitting next to me, and
we both make it through the lecture without getting killed off by Death
THE REALITY The dreamer had recently graduated. She had built up a relationship
with a guy and was now attempting to continue it even though they lived in
different cities. She was thinking of moving to his city but did not have
enough money to do that immediately.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I am aware of the fact that my relationship with the guy in the dream
is threatened by the circumstances of being so far apart. But I feel I can
overcome these difficulties. However, it may take me some time to get together
enough money to move to his city. It may even take up to a year."
THE INTERPRETATION The guy in the dream was very special to the dreamer. Her
relationship in real life was in a major state of transition as she had just
graduated and now she was living a long distance relationship.
Death in dreams is a fairly reliable symbol. It usually links to some period
of change or transition. Here it clearly symbolises the possibility that this
relationship could die off.
Yet the dream also clarifies her thoughts. The pictures represent the dreamers
relationship over the Internet. She can literally picture what he is doing
as he is describing in great deal his life and circumstances.
Actually the dream probably symbolises her own optimism for the relationship.
The pictures in particular show that she feels that the relationship is viable
even though at present its long distant.
Perhaps the leniency of the teacher represents her own surprise that the relationship
is doing so well. She really deep down expected the relationship to be in
danger of immediate collapse yet right now she is feeling optimistic.
Symbolic Meanings
DEATH : "an awareness that the relationship with her guy friend was in danger
of dying"
MSN : "communication - this represents the long distant nature of the relationship"
PICTURE : "The dreamer is happy continuing the relationship. She can picture
this guy in her own mind and is aware of what he is doing and how he is thinking"
-------------------------------
THE DREAM I'm in this old run down house and my boyfriend and his family
have turned into these wierd frenzied killers, murdering varius members of
my family by cutting them up and placing them in garbage bags. I am running
around looking for phones to call the police and when I finally find one of
my aunt's mobiles I hide in a corner to phone the police. I tell the police
whats happening and to come straight away but they just laugh and say I am
making it all up. While my boyfriend and familiy don't hurt me they are keeping
me captive and making me watch them hack my family up. I finally escape the
house and go to a cafe and use a phone in their kitchen to call the police
again and tell them it is real and give them the address. They say they will
send someone but they never turn up. Eventually my family are completely cut
up and are sitting out the front of the house in bags. I go back to the house
but it is empty now.
THE REALITY The dreamer was uncomfortable around her boyfriends family - they
tend to have different values. The dreamer also found it difficult to talk
to her boyfriend about this as he frequently dismisses her worries and says
that she is 'crazy'. She consequently tends to bottle up feelings as she does
not want to offend anyone.
I am not so much angry with my boyfriend and his family but resisting the
way his family is and am not willing to put up with the behaviour. It is hard
as I don't want to stop my boyfriend from being with his family but I dread
being around them myself (so I make up excuses as to why I can't go)..
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I hate being around my boyfriends family. I do not like the way that
they behave and am not willing to be around such people. I just dread being
around them and make up excuses for not going. I do not like to offend so
tend to bottle this all up. My boyfriend just laughs at me though. I know
he thinks they are not that bad. He thinks I exxagerate things and make them
sound as if they are mad and crazy killers."
THE INTERPRETATION The dreamer does have strong issues with her boyfriends
family. So its worth taking this as the starting point for the dream. The
dream may link to some thoughts about the family.
The one part that really helps link the dream with reality is the polices
attitude. They laugh off her fears. That has a direct link to reality. The
police represnt the dreamers belief that her boyfriends family are breaking
laws and conventions about what is acceptable behavior. She wishes to stop
this. Yet she also feels as if the police are laughing at her. This links
directly to the dreamers belief that her boyfriend laughs off her own objections
to his family. He says that she is 'crazy'. So she feels her complaint is
not being taken seriously.
In the dream the family are behaving like mad crazed killers. That represents
the dreamers own vision of them being a family from hell.
Symbolic Meanings
BOYFRIENDS FAMILY ARE KILLERS : "the dreamer believes her boyfriends family
are unbelievably bad and this is represented in the dream by their terrible
behavior "
POLICE : "The dreamer dislikes her boyfriends family and feels that they violate
conventions of behavior. They are therefor crossing her own personal boundaries
and this needs to be stopped in order to restore order"
POLICE LAUGH OFF COMPLAINT : "the dreamer goes to her boyfriend to help discuss
her issues with his family but she is not atken seriously by him"
