However, at an individual level death has always vexed, terrified and fascinated us, and the everyday dreams that lie not far below the surface of our conscious minds may be filled with anxieties about our own death or about the ultimate loss of loved ones or close friends.
Fearful dreams about our own mortality may indicate the need for us to come more to terms, in conscious life, with our inevitable fate. Dreams about the death of others, though, mav depict more abstract fears — for example, a concern about the annihilation of the personality or the self, or a dread of judgment or divine retribution, or of hell, or of the manner of death, and so on.
Death in dreams sometimes carries precognitive warnings about the future. Abraham Lincoln dreamed his own death only days before he was assassinated, seeing his corpse laid out in funeral vestments in a room of the White House. Many dreams of death, however, have no association with mortality at all. Some may relate to aspects of the dreamer’s own psychological life or to a change in life-circumstances. Symbols of death may also draw the dreamer’s attention to forthcoming irrevocable events , such as retirement, losing a job, moving house, or ending a close relationship.
