How many times have you had adreamthat involved death?
Dreams are, after all, a way for us to process life.
And dreaming about death is often a way to process the fear of the unknown.
In 2020, we are all going through a transformation on some level.
We are all connected, so on some level, we are all affected.
You wake up wondering if it’s a premonition, a warning of an accidentyou name it.
Once this panic is activated, it becomes extremely hard to be objective.
Start there and see if your body drops the tension and you stop obsessing over that dream.
I’ve also heard from people who dream of painful deaths that occur under scary circumstances.
So it’s complex, and ultimately the only person who candecode the meaning behind this dreamis you.
In this case, I would try toremember some more details of the dream.
What was the scenario that caused me to fall overboard?
Were large waves washing me away?
They don’t make much logical sense.
One minute, it’s the 1980s and you’re wearing the pants you bought online last week.
The next minuteyour ex from five years ago is there, and suddenly you see your dying fall.
That’s the one for the analyst’s couch or the dream books.
Its message is always personal and only clear aftera lot of inner reflection.
If you die in this kind of dream, it’s likely pure fear of change or loss.
If you dream of someone you love dying in a similarly haphazard way, the same criteria apply.
You might just be feeling scared to lose this person, literally or emotionally.
And those are the best dreams of all.
The takeaway
Dreams are a common way for us to process our waking life.
