If the question refers to death during the labor of childbirth, then, although unpleasant, such dreams have been shown to have a positive affect. Studies have shown that women who have frightening dreams about childbirth have fewer complications during real-life delivery. By experiencing various worst-case scenarios in the safety of dreams, the expectant mother will be more confident during actual labor.

Answer 2

Although frightening, particularly when the dreamer is a pregnant woman, scary dreams are nothing to worry about. Oddly enough, such dreams are not only common during pregnancy, but actually contribute to more positive deliveries. It might be that unconscious stress is vented and relieved through the nightmares, or it may be that certain hormonal levels needed for safe delivery also trigger vivid dreams.

> On the other hand, if the dreamer is not pregnant, this dream could use labor as a metaphor of trying to "deliver" a difficult project. As typical in dream imagery, dying represents significant change, suggesting that the dreamer's life will take a new direction when this project is delivered.

> Alternatively, "labor" could be a pun for "labor" in the sense of work. In this case, "dying in labor" is only a literal depiction of the common expression, "this work is killing me."
