Or could it be that — as often happens to me — they have read the message on their mobile without reading glasses to hand, and by the time they have got their glasses the moment has passed.” Death in dreams is really about some kind of change or ending you’re dealing with in your real life,” says Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, professional dream analyst. “The subconscious will show us this change in the form of a death so we can better understand the finality of it. We can let go of that which we no longer need so we can grow and embrace that which is coming.”

For as he digs deeper, he discovers that Alex's life was not the innocent one his mother believed. Buried in his past are secrets that were never meant to be found - and dark, dangerous men willing to kill to protect them.Loewenberg says this is one of the most disturbing death dreams that anyone can have, but it’s much less scary than it seems. “It’s because your child has reached some sort of milestone, it’s the end of the phase of their life. Whenever they start crawling, start walking, start feeding themselves, all these different big phases of life mark the end of that younger child. It’s actually the way we kind of grieve — the loss of that phase of their life. Because once you have a child, time goes really, really fast.” Death dreams can also be prompted by witnessing death in our waking lives, which is why you might have started having them during the pandemic. “We have to take into consideration that a lot of people have died recently — and that death anxiety is at an all-time high — when we begin to interpret our own death dreams,” Fourkiller explains. “They still could mean something specific, but they could also be reflective of the time and societal miasma we find ourselves surrounded with.” Flogging a dead horse (or beating a dead horse in American English) is an idiom meaning that a particular effort is futile, being a waste of time without a positive outcome, e.g. such as flogging a dead horse, which will not compel it to do useful work. If you’re the one doing the killing, then you are the one actively making some kind of change in your real life. So if you are trying to quit drinking, if you are trying to eat better, if you are trying to change careers, what part of yourself or what part of your own life are you killing off, ending?” The phrase may have originated in 17th-century slang, when a horse symbolized hard work. [ citation needed] A "dead horse" came to mean something that had become useless. In gambling, "playing a dead horse" meant wagering on something, such as a hand of cards, that was almost sure to lose.

Plants and pets are things in your life that you spend time and effort nurturing. So Loewenberg explains that if your pet dies in a dream, it could signal that you’re forgetting to care about something else in your life. “So for any of these things that would be in our care that are dying, we must ask ourselves, What in my life am I neglecting? Plants tend to represent something that has the potential to grow. A dog can represent a relationship. A cat often represents a woman, either the reproductive self or the sexual self. Fish can represent creative ideas, your ideas that thrive in your creative juices.” The writing is beautiful and the plot so cleverly constructed I never guessed any of the twists * Sunday Times bestselling author of Local Girl Missing *Has the person even seen your message?

Whether it be a global pandemic or a more personal challenge, Fourkiller says life’s more trying seasons are fertile ground for death dreams. “There are definitely times and phases in life when it’s more common to have death dreams, and those all have anxiety and stress in common.” Per Loewenberg, “An autopsy is to figure out the manner of death. So an autopsy in a dream would mean you are trying to figure out why this relationship ended, or why this situation ended. Why your job ended, you know, whatever the case may be, what ending has happened in your life? And what means are you doing to figure out why?” This is a really good indication that the change you’re going through, you’re okay with it. You’re going through a welcome change.” So many people tell me they’ve actually experienced the feeling of death and leaving the body. That dream would indicate that change has happened. If you feel yourself leaving your body in that dream, that’s a good indication that you’re feeling like this change is transforming you.”

Loewenberg explains that this could just be your body’s physiological response to a fear of death. “Or you can wake up before the death happens because in real life, the actual change has not been completed. You’re on the verge — you’re on the cusp of it.” The main element of [a funeral dream] is that your subconscious is telling you there is something you need to lay to rest in your real life,” Loewenberg says, “something you need to close the lid on and recognize as no longer being an issue. Of course, whose funeral it is makes all the difference. If it’s your own funeral, what part of yourself is now at peace? If it’s the funeral of a friend, is there some issue between you two that you can now put to rest?” Loewenberg says that if your dream takes place in a graveyard but there’s not a funeral happening, it could be a sign that something from your past is being dug up that ought to stay buried. “Your subconscious is showing you this issue in a graveyard setting to let you know how wrong it is to excavate it.
