What does it mean to dream of yourself in a coffin?

Answer 1

The dream means that something that you thought was ended or "dead and gone" from your life is not entirely gone after all, but continues to have some influence on you. This could refer to anything from a former relationship to an old debt or a matter concerning your reputation.

Answer 2

Dreaming of yourself inside a coffin suggests that some aspect of your life is coming to an end, and something quite different is about to begin. Although the image of the coffin is alarming, this is not necessarily a bad dream, or a prediction of anything terrible. It could be as simple as the end of the old year (2013,) or the conclusion of a big task or the end of a relationship. See the link below for further discussion of "death" in dreams.

Answer 3

The coffin is a universal symbol for death, but it need not forecast any actual death. The dream could express the dreamer's feelings about the end of one stage of life, or some major change, such as job loss or moving from one's home. A coffin can also illustrate a sense of being "boxed in" or "silent as the dead," e.g., an inability to influence others or to communicate.
