Answer 1

Sounds like a concern of yours is causing you dis-ease. I'm sure if you think about it, you will know what it is, and then you can address it head on.

Answer 2

I have a hard time reaching REM cycle, so I rarely have dreams but maybe only 3-4 times a year.  Every time I do have a dream it is about my own death.  I've been hit by a car, fell off a bldg, drowned, etc.  

I got so disturbed about these dreams that I had to go to a psychiatrist.  I don't have a fear of dying, but a fear of the unknown which is why I have such problems sleeping, because I am not in control when I sleep.  I have problems flying too, because I have no control.  

My point is this....if it happens frequently having dreams about other people's deaths then you may want to go see a psychiatrist.

Answer 4

Remember that in dreams we offten see things but they are symbols not the actual thing. Death is ussally a symbol for change. Your daughter may be ready to change in someway or their may be some changes and/or challenges in the soon future.

Good things ussually come in three. It's ussually a nature's symbol. Think about the three nights of the full moon. The day before. the day of and the day after. She may be starting a challange that will be in three parts. or may be already to complete the third stage.

"Three" - The number three may symbolize completeness and fulfillment; or anything that may contribute to your personal fulfillment - for example, the resolving of conflict between two opposing psychic forces.

(2) Jung says three may signify that something is nearly but not quite complete; or that what is lacking in you can be supplied only by some part of your unconscious elf that you find too frightening to acknowledge and use

Answer 5

I used to have those dreams too, being in the

casket and all that. But when I pan back out

of the casket, it's somebody else.

It sounds like you're about to have a death

in the family, I hope not.

I had a dream that one of my brothers died back

in 98' but a year later one of my sisters committed

suicide. All that time before, I would have a queasy

stomach thinking about who I'm gong to lose.

Not a good feeling, I hate death.

Answer 6

about your daughters future.Dreams of death mean the end of one phase and the beginning of another.  Maybe you have apprehensions about your daughter's future.
