Dreams that involve death in one form or another always cause anxiety. If a person dreams of a coffin with a deceased person, then this is almost immediately associated with unpleasant news and troubles awaiting in the future. But often this does not mean anything terrible, and sometimes it promises good news. Why do you dream of a dead man in a coffin? Is it really unfortunate or is it a sign of future joys? It depends on the details of what you saw in the dream.
General interpretation of dreams about a coffin
Most often, the dead predict a change in the weather. The presence of a coffin is optional and does not matter for interpretation. It is also considered a harbinger of pleasant changes: useful purchases, good guests.
Common dream plots about the dead:
- the deceased comes to life;
- the dead man begins to speak;
- the deceased turns over, moves in every possible way;
- I just dreamed about the funeral;
- someone is buried alive;
- funeral service for the deceased;
- the dead man opens his eyes.
Dreaming of a funeral foreshadows changes. The situation and weather in a dream suggest the type of future changes. A sunny day promises favorable events; rain and bad weather threaten sad events. Carrying the coffin of a deceased friend in the rain (in reality he is alive) means waiting for betrayal. A waking funeral for someone who is alive promises longevity. To bury a close friend who is currently living - he will soon help resolve difficulties and provide significant support.
The dead man opened his eyes - a warning: a certain former acquaintance would emerge. The dream has an additional interpretation: memories that cause pain will soon stop bothering you, and the soul will experience relief.
A dream about a funeral service threatens an unsuccessful marriage. Such a dream before the wedding is a direct warning not to rush. A similar plot is dreamed of by insecure individuals who question their choice of partner.
For girls, a dead man foretells a quick date and a groom will be found. The old man promises a groom older than the dreamer, the young one - the same age. The more richly dressed, the more luxurious the decoration, the wealthier the man will be in reality.
For a married lady, the vision promises an admirer, a lover. For a man to see a dead person - it will help him overcome tormenting problems; a dead woman predicts happiness. A sick dreamer kisses a dead man - recovery is near.
What does your own funeral mean?
Attending your own funeral means longevity and prosperity. If until this moment the dreamer was tormented by solving problems, the dream promises a quick, painless solution. Come to life - a new happy streak of life begins. The man expects a new job, a promotion, the girl - marriage.
To lie in a coffin, to accidentally fall - sad news and events are coming. A fall warns - someone close is planning betrayal. Solving the problems that have arisen in reality will require a lot of effort. Just lying down, sitting on the lid - the dream has 2 interpretations. First: it’s time to finish what we started, to “bury the problem.” Second: dangerous troubles begin.
Plot details
Obtaining extremely accurate interpretations requires knowing as many details of the dream as possible. It often happens that you dream of a closed coffin. You should not be surprised by such a turn if you recently visited a funeral goods store. Sometimes such dreams are interpreted as memories of ancestors, a return to roots, restoration of the family tree. In addition, perhaps one of the deceased relatives wants to contact the dreamer. It makes sense to honor the memory of the deceased.
A closed house with a dead man communicates undeserved resentment and attempts to forget about this incident. The Dream Book of Fate believes that the dreamer is ready to forgive his offender, and Tsvetkov’s Dream Book promises prosperity and achieving goals.
An empty coffin is interpreted by Azar’s dream book as an easy death for older dreamers, a long life for young people and wealth for those who are married. The dream interpreter of the Moon is convinced that after such dreams young people can prepare for a wedding.
Dream books advise paying attention to the color of the house. According to the dream interpreter of the World, a closed red coffin means a rich and long life. At the same time, this can be explained as a symbol of the beginning of the implementation of new things for which there was previously lack of determination. Dream Interpretation Magicum is convinced that a sleeping person has completed a significant life stage. The color red can also indicate news about loved ones.
An empty black house, according to the Modern Dream Interpreter, portends longevity, prosperity and happiness. A dead person in such a coffin is dreamed of, indicating a high probability of a funeral in reality. White color means fulfillment of desires, but this is only possible thanks to positive thinking.
According to the Women's Dream Book, knowing who is in the coffin you see (a friend or relative) is a sign of illness and misfortune for the dream guest. At the same time, the dreamer himself can tune in to good health and longevity.
A stranger in the house, located in the dreamer’s apartment or house, warns that a depraved lifestyle and alcohol abuse can destroy a career, reputation and family. However, sometimes this is a good sign that promises a new family member or marriage for the sleeping person or someone close to him. To the collapse of plans and misfortunes, to see a child in the house.

The death of loved ones and longing for loss usually respond with painful dreams, forcing one to relive difficult moments. There is one way to get rid of such visions: letting go of grief. Find the strength to live on, heal the wound from loss.
In addition to direct interpretation, a dream can warn:

Other dream options and their interpretation
There are a lot of variations of dreams with coffins or dead bodies. And there are also quite a lot of interpretations: from the need to take a more attentive approach to solving your life problems to the awaiting major joys.
Usually dead people do not mean grief or trouble knocking on the door, although they may mean some problems or temporary difficulties. But this can almost always be overcome. A dead person as such almost never means death; most often it is, nevertheless, good news.
You should also pay attention to the fact that details in such dreams play one of the key meanings. Moreover, if the detail is frightening, then this is just a good sign, but joyful decorations, flowers or balloons may well turn out to be a factor that aggravates the expected problem.
One way or another, you should not base all further actions only on what the dream predicted. Dream books and interpreters are intended to make some aspect of life easier, and do not guarantee that the prediction will come true 100%. If a dream with the deceased is too disturbing, then it is better to simply do everything possible to solve or prevent future problems. What you definitely don’t need to do is get scared or worry too much.
