What does it mean when you dream about someone that is dead?

Answer 1

The category of "dead person" is so vast that a meaningful answer is not possible. A dream of a beloved, recently deceased relative would be very different from a dream about a threatening zombie, a repulsive corpse or someone long dead historic person such as Queen Victoria. Generally speaking, during the period of mourning, it is perfectly normal to dream of the deceased. These dreams represent the dreamer's feeling of loss and sadness.

Answer 2

The meaning of the dream depends on the identity of the dead person, whether it is a beloved relative, casual acquaintance, recent celebrity, a figure from the past or an unknown figure. Interpretation also depends on the emotional tone of a dream: a terrifying apparition of a rotting corpse would be very different from an inspiring vision of a deceased loved one. The webpage attached below provides further examples and discussion.

Answer 3

It could mean that you're scared that somebody is going to die. But it is more likely that something you glimpsed, heard or even smelled recently brought the memory of that particular person to mind. You need not have been consciously aware of the memory for it to trigger a dream of the deceased. See the attached link for more examples and discussion about dreams of the dead.

Answer 4

it could mean many possible things but but also if you have had a dream of a current lost one yo might feel sad so your brain gives you blissful memories of what use to be but if you pray god will give you a answer and you will feel more secure about these dreams.

Answer 5

The category "the dead" is far too broad to risk any single interpretation. Your dream's meaning depends on whether "the dead" in this particular dream referred to a beloved friend or relative, such as a grandmother, spouse or child, or whether "the dead" were overly dramatized Zombies or Horror film ghouls. The website linked below provides extended discussion of these and other possibilities.

Answer 6

That's what you have been thinking about recently.Dreams do not "mean" anything. They are random neuron firings at at time of the sleep cycle that happen to allow individuals to remember the patterns of neurons that fired just then.

Answer 7

it means that a dead person want to take you away or that you miss that person to much and you are reaching the other person with your dreams

Answer:

The ancient superstition that dreaming of the dead somehow means that the deceased wants the dreamer to die has no basis in fact. It is rooted in past ages when contagious disease, particularly the plague, was blamed on evil spirits and dark magic. Dreams of the dead are normal and common during the period of mourning, and merely represent the mind's struggle to accept the finality of death.

It either mean that you can stop thinking of them. It could also mean that they are trying to tell u something. Its usually the first reason.

I would think it means you miss that person. Are you dreaming of actual memories of things that have happened or are these "new" events? It may be a way of your subconscious dealing with the loss you feel from missing this person.
The question is too general to provide a meaningful answer, because "dead people" could mean too many different sorts of things. "Dead people" might be anyone from historical characters to departed family members. For example, dreaming of a beloved deceased grandmother would be very different from dreaming of a revolting half-rotted zombie. See the link below for further examples and discussion.

Answer 8

Details of dream: I've dreamed of mom coming back to me and wanted to say something but couldn't, and that two close female friends were telling me they would take care of everything. I could relax now....

The meaning of this specific dream cannot be determined without additional information. "Someone that is dead" might be a relative or friend who recently passed away, or it could be a long-dead celebrity or someone from ancient history. Dreams of gruesome dead bodies are very different from dreams of peaceful spirits. See the webpage linked below for several examples and further discussion.

> It is quite natural to dream of someone who has recently died. These dreams are part of the normal grieving process because the subconscious mind can struggle with the reality and permanence of death The mind might also creates dreams that explain the absence of the deceased or that simply deny their death.

> Alternatively, if the dreamer is a person of faith or knew that the deceased had strong faith, the dream is an expression of confidence in the continuation of life beyond physical death.

I don't know the exact answer, but according to my mother it means bad luck or inauspicious.

it means the opposite when you dream about it, usually means the person will live for a very long time.

There are as many different opinions for interpretation of dreams as there are people that do it. It depends on whom you ask.

The mechanism of why we dream is not fully understood, by anyone. That it is a function of the sub-conscious is fairly well agreed upon but there are many theories as to why and how we dream.

People have different solutions with the conscious mind when presented with the same data, it is far more difficult to explain the functioning of the unconscious one.

It is, however, a practical certainty that there is no pre-cognition involved.

If you dream you trip and fall and that happens then you would remember that dream and claim it is a sure sign of the predictive power of dreams. If you do not trip then you would neither mention it nor remember it.

The hits are recorded the misses are not.

Some people believe it's a visit from that person.

Dreaming of loved ones who have died is a normal part of the grieving process.
