dreams about loved ones dying...?

In the past couple weeks, I have been dreaming that different loved ones in my life have died or are dying.

I had one dream that my boyfriend told me he had cancer and would die very soon.

Another dream that I was at a funeral for my father.

Another my cousin dies in freak accident.

The most interesting one was when I was in a room with my mother (who passed away from cancer when I was younger, but looks healthy in the dream) and I do not want to leave the room because I know if I do I will not see her again, but I somehow end up outside the room and I know she has died because of this. I've actually had this dream a couple times.

I don't understand why all these people are dying in my dreams. If anyone could help me out, it would be much appreciated.

    Dreams of loved ones dying suggests a "puzzling" desire to bond with others. Somehow you find yourself unable to do so and partially due to your mom's death. It's reoccurring because at that time, you were not ready and you didn't get closure (...I do not want to leave the room...But somehow I end outside..) Meet with others that have experienced a similar loss so you can heal. (This is your answer to what you need to bond with to move on.) When you do, you'll be able "to let go" and give the unconditional love that "only you" can give to yourself. You're finding yourself in situations where there's still a void and your subconsciousness is channeling this through your dreams.

    First, no dream is set in stone, so to speak. Since you have had one prophetic dream before, though, it is best to think. Prophetic dreams feel different than others - more "real" is the only way I can describe it. If this dream had that feeling, then you should find out what your Mom wants done with her things. You can do this by casually skirting the subject, saying "You, know, Mom, I've been wondering lately what to do if", or directly telling your Mom about your dream - you know what's best for your relationship. Second - if the dream didn't give you the "real" feeling, it could be your subconscious worrying about the relationship between yourself and your brothers, or between your mother and your brothers. What if something big happens - your Mom needs care due to illness or you do have to handle her business for one reason or another? Will they "disappear" on you? Once again, the easiest thing to do is get with Mom and plan. While it's a tough conversation, hopefully she'll realize it's because you care that you want to be prepared for the inevitable. Personally, I'm leaning toward answer two. But isn't it a coincidence the remedy for both is the same... :) That's a no-brainer, then.

    Dreaming of the death of a loved means that you are dealing with the end of something important in your life.

    It could be the end of a relationship or a career, graduating from school, a change in your life like moving where you feel that your past lifestyle has "died", or even just a change in the way you feel or think about something.

    However, the fact that you have had several of these dreams, and in partucular the one about your mother repeatedly, indicates that you have not yet been able to process the situation emotionally in your waking life.

    It sounds as though your view of your relationship may be changing. Could it be that you are growing up and that you dont see these people the same way anymore? Your relationship with them as it was may be gone but a new relationship is being born. And it sounds like since youve been having so many of these dreams that something really big is going on for you. What is it? How have you changed recently?

    Death dreams arent what people think. They are a rebirth or a renewed view of something. Dreams of loved ones deaths I find are merely an expression of love for them and misery if they died. Depending on your beliefs the dream of your mother could be her in visitation and trying to let you know things are okay. Rest easy it doesnt mean anything will happen.

    my interpretation:

    were you ever in any way angry with any of these people? if so, i believe that you dream of their deaths because you are now beginning to put that anger you have towards them behind. Like you're killing the anger you have for each of them. that could be a possibility. but if you were never angry with any of them.....

    www.dreammoods.com interpretation:

    To dream about 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

    I don't know if it happens to everyone else but when I start to dreaming of everyone dying, I get upset for I know that someone is going to be really sick or that someone is going to die, literally. I don't know why, except that I am psychic myself and that does make it different. I do know that the books say that dreaming of death means birth or marriage. It usually means birth. Are you pregnant?? It sometimes happens to those who are pregnant or are close to someone who is pregnant. I hope that is the case for you. May God bless.

    The huge majority of dreams do not foreshadow an actual event. Most are just your brain processing information. Lots of times, you might have some subconscious fear of them being sick or hurt, or you may be leaving them to move, etc and be worrying about repercussions. IT is normal to have worries about loved ones being hurt.
