General Meanings:

The dream has a lot to do with the death ,when it wants to frighten the dreamer. The main thing is that people know about the death, that it exists, but does not realize it and when they dream of the death, it overwhelms them. They experience how short life actually is, and it can be over any time, any second. Usually the death in dreams symbolizes the big changes and/or the end of something in dreamer’s life. However, the changes and the end might be a good thing, where you can start everything from the beginning.

The death of someone
It depends on who died in a dream, as for example if someone that is closed to you died in the dream, then such dream shows the fear of losing of that particular person. It also could show that you feel guilty of not giving enough of attention to that person, therefore you dream of his death, where you lose any contact with him for good.

The death of your own
If the dreamer sees his own death, then the dream shows that maybe some part of you is dead and not alive anymore, which shows that you are changing as a person, as individual. The other meaning could show that the dreamer is not taking care of himself, which means that he needs to start looking more after himself instead of the others. The dream could also have a good meaning, where the end of something old that lies within you is no more the part of you, and you are becoming better person, having only positive features. This dream could be called as a process of rebirth and new beginning.

Psychological Meanings:

In reality the death has only negative impacts, however in dreams it is only a symbol transformation and not a signal of actual death. Consider, that what dies in a dream it is replaced with something new. Dreams of death very often shows the aspects of your personality which you do not like in yourself and maybe trying to get rid of them. The death of your own scares a lot, as the death is something unknown and not understandable, out of the mind. The fact that everything will be over when you die feels unacceptable. The end of your life gives some thoughts, which might change your view to the life. Therefore when dreaming about the death might want to tell you that you should make some cardinal changes and decisions in your life. There is a possibility that the dreamer is trying to take mind and body apart.

In the traditional interpretation of dreams the death is explained as a birth of new life or the conditions of life will be changed. Death was always associated with severe anxiety, therefore it symbolizes things which will never will be as it used to be. The ancient Indian dream theory foretells that the dreams about death denotes to vitality and health.

Generally, the creation of such experience while we are dreaming is based on amazing ability of our subconscious mind to prepare us so that we become more stronger and capable to bear anything who might seem first unbearable.
