The realm of dreams is a fascinating one. Dreams vary from colored panoramas to monochromatic scenes; real emotions to other-worldly dimensions – every kind of scenario can happen in dreams. Most of us would wake up wondering what the dream was about. What is its connection to our daily lives? Do dreams foreshadow the future? For instance, what does it mean when you dream about the death of a family member?
A dream of the death of a family member does not foretell an actual death. Dream interpretation is not a linear analysis of dreams. It is a more symbolic approach to understanding what they mean. Some of us would try to seek guidance or clarity from dreams. Some would see dreams as expressions of unresolved feelings. Others, like artists or musicians or writers would use dreams as inspiration for their works.
So, what does it mean then, symbolically, when you dream about the death of a family member? Psychologist and dream expert Ian Wallace wrote in his book, “The Death of your loved one in your dream indicates that this particular quality that you possess is being transformed in some way.” This can be an internal change of behavior or action, or something life-changing like moving homes or changing careers, even marriage.

You can actually dive deeper into the dream by recalling if the death was natural or sudden, if the family member was someone you loved or had an issue with, and even where the family member died. These can actually make you understand and connect it to what is going on in your life. Next time you dream, try seeing them more as messages from your subconscious rather than eerie omens of the future.
