Dreaming of Death: Dying Yourself

When a person feels "alive yet dead," feels like a "walking corpse," feels that their heart has died, and senses that they are no longer growing, they may dream of their own death.

• Dreaming of one's own death may symbolize a return home. This is known as "seeing death as a return." Death is our final destination; we come from the realm of original life, and death is a return to that place. Therefore, death is going home. Li Bai said, "The living are merely passing guests, while the dead are those returning home." It has also been pointed out that "ghosts are those who return," meaning that ghosts are those who return to our eternal and peaceful home.
• Dreaming of your own death suggests that you will begin a new life or experience changes in your life, entering a new phase of existence.
• Dreaming of your own death indicates that your wealth will increase, serving as an auspicious sign of good fortune.
• Dreaming of someone else's death is a good omen, signaling good news. For merchants, dreaming of someone dying means they will make a significant profit in business. For prisoners, dreaming of death means they will soon gain their freedom.
• Dreaming of the death of someone you know is a good sign, suggesting that you will bring longevity to others.
• Dreaming of the death of an elderly person indicates a decline in family fortune, urging you to unite and care for your family members.
• Dreaming of the death of someone you do not know suggests a decline in your fortunes, where a small mistake could lead to significant setbacks. For example, you might have arranged a date with your partner, but find yourself unable to go because you forgot your wallet.
