What does dreaming of Death mean?
Death in dreams almost never predicts literal death. Instead, it powerfully symbolizes the ending of one chapter and the beginning of another — transformation, release, and renewal. The death of a specific person may represent the end of your relationship with a certain aspect they embody, or a change in that relationship.
Psychological Interpretation
Jung considered death dreams as the most significant symbols of transformation in the unconscious. "Dying" in a dream often precedes major shifts in identity or values. The ego must periodically die so a larger self can emerge. Dreams of one's own death frequently occur at life thresholds — graduation, marriage, retirement, illness.
