A dream about death can represent a new beginning. Dreaming of one's own death symbolizes the inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that are occurring in one's life. We go through a transition phase and become more enlightened or spiritual. Big changes are coming when you make a fresh start and leave the past behind. A dream about death can mean a warning signal, can be seen as a revelation or a means of drawing attention to which action must be taken. A dream about death can also show that a part of a person has died. Dying can be seen as the end or end of one's old habits, bad habits, destructive behavior, or any other aspect of oneself. Dying does not always mean a physical death, but rather the end of a life.
