10 Common Recurring Dreams and What They Mean

7. Death

Since death is something we know we will all eventually face, it’s not surprising that many people report dreaming of their own death or perhaps the death of a loved one. Losing a loved one is one of life’s greatest fears, so it could be something that is often lingering just below the surface. Some believe that death dreams are a sign that death will touch the person’s life in some way in real life. For the vast majority of us, that’s not the case, but some people claim that they have prophetic dreams that foresee future events in the real world. Death dreams for those of us who are not clairvoyant, usually mean some major life change is or has taken place or that there is something happening in life that we are not prepared for.
