Why do dead people dream: why do dead strangers/acquaintances/relatives appear alive in dreams?

Often, after waking up, dreamers try to understand the meaning if they dream of dead people. This is especially true if the sleeper the day before lost someone close to him. As a rule, such dreams become a cause of anxiety and fear. Many people are convinced that the appearance of dead people is a warning and an attempt to protect the dreamer from something. The most famous dream interpreters and psychologists will help you understand the topic.

General interpretation

Dream books tell why dead people dream. First of all, they recommend not to be scared or panic. Dreams about dead people are considered a good sign. They often warn of problems, predict certain events and give advice. Likewise, dead dream guests can symbolize desires and dreams that cannot be realized, or rumors spread by someone about the dreamer.

It is important to remember as many nuances of the dream as possible. Among the most common plots:

dream of deceased people - health problems are possible, it is necessary to be examined;
a dead person is suffering or crying - to possible quarrels; if he gives money at the same time, then quarrels with relatives are expected;
the dream guest lies in a coffin - to early news from relatives; if there is no lid, then expect great luck;
a dead man's kiss - close financial well-being, if you did not experience fear - there will be a correct solution to complex issues in your favor;
a living hero in reality - the completion of any stage of life; for example, if a mother dreams of a living daughter, as if dead, this may mean worries about the fact that she will soon become a girl, woman, etc.;
there were several dead people (two - you have to choose between options for the development of your life) or many - absolute luck;
people who were dead in reality came to life - to the end of a long-standing dispute or conflict;
zombies - they are trying to control your actions from the outside, take a closer look at your surroundings;
looking at yourself dead - soon you will make an unexpected decision;
the deceased was silent (this means positive admiration of your actions and deeds) or spoke (foreshadows the illness of one of your loved ones);
dead people in clear water - for a woman success with the opposite sex, for a man - solving current issues.

Familiar deceased people are often a guarantee of well-being and longevity. Relatives and friends may reproduce the subconscious fear of loss of protection and warn of negative changes.

If you dreamed of a conversation with loved ones, it is very important to remember their words, because this may be the key to unraveling something significant from your own future.

If dead strangers scare the dreamer or attack him, it means there is a dark streak ahead. The resurrection of the heroes of a night dream in the absence of any harm promises amazing events. However, at the same time it is likely that we will encounter long-forgotten difficulties. Watching the evil dead chasing the dreamer in a dream means many problems and unpleasant moments during the next day.

Other meanings

Being among the dead is a sign of a hasty and unhappy marriage. Finding yourself among bodies in coffins means a visit from an outsider or significant income.

Seeing parents or other relatives who have passed away long ago happens on the eve of fulfilling secret desires and receiving help in a difficult situation. Living dead people may reflect the fear of losing something important. In addition, if such dreams are constantly repeated, indecision and weakness are likely in the coming days/weeks. In such cases, visits from deceased people are explained as moral support.

Mistake and panic in the upcoming situation is what dreams of dead strangers who scare the dreamer mean. Such guests of night dreams can also reproduce the dark sides of the personality: a real decline in vitality, a peculiar line of behavior or irrelevant stereotypes. The departure of the dead foreshadows liberation from what burdens the dreamer.

It happens that there are a lot of dead people. According to some sources, this is a bad sign, promising separation for dreamers in love, regression for business people and tragic news for everyone else. Seeing many deceased people on the battlefield means war or a similar global catastrophe. Decaying bodies with a disgusting smell indicate bad influences from the past. Lack of smell - to wealth.

Plot details

To obtain extremely accurate interpretations, it is necessary to remember as many details as possible. For example, a dead person may be a symbol of the death of goals and desires within the dreamer. There is a high probability of such a development of events for dreamers who are characterized by phobias, psychological barriers and prohibitions. The repetition of such dreams every night is deciphered as advice to start living for real and do what you want before it’s too late. Other versions:

The dead man was calling with him - to depression or another serious illness.
The deceased father dreamed of being sick - a sign of impending difficulties.
A deceased mother is a symbol of protection of the family and home. Receiving things or money from your mother means profit, pleasant news or unexpected gifts.
A deceased grandmother is a message from the subconscious about the relevance of paying attention to loved ones and finding out about their well-being. A relative in her own home means a revaluation of the value system. A grandmother in a coffin indicates a betrayal of her partner.
Grandfather - for global changes. It can also warn about unworthy people among friends.
Husband - symbolizes unexpected expenses. The resurrection of a spouse warns of the negative influence of a close friend who may be drawn into a loss-making adventure. Rising from the grave means that soon the dreamer will need support and will not receive it from friends.
The appearance of a loved one is often the result of grief due to loss. For women, such dreams can promise a happy meeting with a new life partner.
A stranger or someone else's child, as a rule, reproduces fears and uncertainty about success. The death of your daughter or son may indicate that the child needs help.

Sister dreams of bad news or illness. If she was joyful, it means she forgave the dreamer all the insults, and it’s time to let her go. The guest’s peaceful sleep may indicate that she has found harmony and peace in the afterlife.

Some components

A deceased ex most often appears in dreams due to internal anxiety and as a sign of help. If he handed something to a sleeping woman, this was regarded as a hint for solving a difficult life problem. Popular plot twists include:

Dreaming of a mother-in-law is a sign of luck, a symbol of patronage.
A friend reports an unfulfilled promise or unfinished business.
Uncle - to trouble.
Aunt - family worries and household chores, the arrival of guests and dear people, the pre-holiday bustle.
Dead hanged strangers on the road mean a change of residence if all the corpses have been recognized.
A drunken dead man may indicate the selfishness of the one who had the dream, as well as repentance or unforgiven sins.
Dead people in the church, their funeral service - to an unsuccessful marriage. Most often it is interpreted as uncertainty in the choice and a recommendation not to rush.
For young people, the dead are a reason to tune in to the absence of pleasure and disappointment.

A photograph of the deceased in most cases is a reaction to memories. At the same time, it is likely that you will receive a pleasant letter or the beginning of a stage in life in which it is important to use the experience of the deceased.

The tears of the dream hero indicate conflicts with loved ones. Perhaps this is a hint of inattention to dear people and their feelings. Walking corpses are often a signal of the dreamer’s causeless worries and fears. This turn is interpreted as the significance of making changes, since life passes by and unreasonable fears interfere with harmony and the realization of true desires.

Sometimes dreams make dreamers nervous, frighten them and even bring them to panic. One of the most striking examples is the appearance of dead people in night dreams: strangers, acquaintances, friends, other close people and relatives. This is a multi-valued symbol and indeed does not always promise only good events. But dream books reassure: despite the shade of any prophecy, everything is in the hands of the dreamers.

Lifeless body

Usually in such a dream a person dreams of one or more corpses, an accident, a catastrophe, a morgue, a hospital, or unpleasant medical procedures. They can be either strangers, often men or women, or acquaintances.

Seeing any corpse in a dream is always an unfavorable sign. However, the dream book never interprets a dream in which there were fragments of news, television shows and films. Even if such a plot occurred in a dream, several days or weeks later. Thus, the human psyche is freed from negative influences, fears and anxiety. However, if you dream of a corpse unexpectedly, the dream book advises you to pay attention to the interpretation. Usually, dead people in dreams almost always indicate no warning, danger, bad times and obstacles.

Why do you dream of a corpse lying in the middle of the road? The dream book interprets such a dream as an obstacle in business, depending on where exactly the deceased person is preventing you from going.

If this is a place of study or work, then unexpected obstacles will arise in business or the dreamer will not end up on this day where he planned because of the unexpected. In some cases, such a dream, especially with an accident, disaster or the death of several people, warns of danger. Try to change your usual route or time, as a nightmare can become prophetic, although there is little such evidence.

On a symbolic level, seeing many corpses on the road blocking your path means disappointment in business or activity, dismissal, expulsion from the institute, or the fact that you will soon stop visiting a familiar place. Especially if you had to see dead people on the road to your lover, acquaintances, relatives or friends.

Why do you dream of a corpse or several dead people in a store, market or on the floor in any government institution, preventing you from moving forward? Here the dream book gives several interpretations.

On the one hand, seeing dead people with pieces of meat and blood, as a consequence of a terrorist attack, predicts a sudden obstacle and danger (in some cases, such a dream warns of a misfortune that will come true in the same way as in the dream).

On the other hand, the dream book predicts a change that will be sudden and unpleasant and will touch a nerve. This dream often occurs before an emotional shock, severe disappointment, betrayal, illness, accident, or injury. Seeing the dead in a government institution means losing in court, difficulties in resolving some issue. However, following them and still achieving your goal means that the dreamer will be able to get what he wants, despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It is very good if the corpses themselves later disappeared or were taken away.

Why do you dream about a morgue or a hospital? Seeing a room in which the dead lie is a sign of illness, a bad streak in life, dead affairs that will prevent you from achieving what you want. Moving corpses in a dream means that the business you are doing or your relationship with a person will not get off the ground and you will not be able to do anything about it.

If among them you see a familiar person, then the relationship with him will end, since he will turn out to be completely empty for the one who saw this dream. If your dear friend, lover or spouse has died and is lying in the morgue, then in reality he may face a fatal illness and danger. But more often the dream book writes that it will become useless and alien to you. A woman may suddenly find out about her lover’s or husband’s betrayal, but she still won’t be able to prevent him from leaving.

Being in a morgue or hospital and seeing that your roommate has died is a sign of danger. Death in this situation often means the death of some part of your life or the fact that a person with similar qualities or appearance will leave your environment forever. If you dreamed that a man died, an unknown one or who is not in your environment in reality, then modern books write about the withering away of masculine qualities in your personality, such as perseverance, determination, and adventurism.

Why dream that a stranger died in a park on a bench or on public transport? The dream book writes that this dream means trouble. Notice who he looks like. If a celebrity dies, then the dream predicts that his field of activity, ambitions and fame will no longer be relevant to you.

Most likely, you will be disappointed in it or start doing something else. If a person died in the house of acquaintances or friends, the dreamer will soon stop communicating with them, or trouble, scandal, or change will happen at the address. Sometimes such a dream symbolizes divorce, scandal, older children leaving their father’s house, or a spouse’s betrayal. In some situations, a dream predicts illness or sudden death in the house. If a person dies in your home, expect danger or loss.
