There are lots of different interpretations of death dreams, but basically, they all boil down to the fact that death symbolizes an ending or transition in your life.
Psychotherapist Jeffery Sumber told the Huffington Post that dreams about death often indicate “the symbolic ending of something, whether that’s a phase, a job or a relationship.” But before you get all superstitious, Sumber adds, “It does not, however, suggest that [a person] will actually die imminently.”
