    Dreams are not literal, and they are unique to the dreamer. Only you can make sense of them.

    Behind every dream is a wish that your conscious mind can not bear, so it is repressed to your unconscious. Eventually it needs expression and so comes out in a dream, although it will have been modified to make it tolerable. That's why some dreams are so abstract.

    On some level you may want a part of that person or something they represent to die. Ask yourself what you associate with the dream person. Let your mind go - drift off for a few moments.

    Something you associate with them will be a reflection of a part of you, and that will be the part you want to 'die' - to get rid of.

    Dreams are healthy and normal. Listen and interpret them to help yourself grow.

    Good luck

    It would depend on what each person represents to you. For instance, Aunt Betty may represent liars, or Uncle Joe might represent dishonesty. By seeing them dying in your dreams, you are telling yourself to kill that behavior, get it? Pleasant dreams.

    It means that one day you know that they will go and you need to start 'living' that reality.

    I use to have these dreams and now I'm glad I did. By the time my loved ones passed I had already grieved for them passing. Its helping you cope. Its a good thing. your facing reality. Don't be afraid of them. !

    the death of a loved one, suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what do you like about him. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. Alternatively, it indicates that whatever that person represents has no part in your own life.
