When a person is in an unconscious state during deep sleep at night, his subconscious mind weaves many types of mysterious scenes. In this world of dreams, sometimes we experience very pleasant and charming experiences, and sometimes such scary and disturbing scenes come to the fore which wake us up from sleep and make us drenched in sweat. One such scary dream is to see the death of one’s own parents, spouse (wife or husband), child or a dear friend (Death in Dreams). After seeing such dreams, a person’s mind becomes filled with apprehension of evil, great nervousness and anxiety throughout the day. People wonder if something unpleasant is really going to happen to one of their loved ones? But according to Indian dream science (Swapna Shastra) and modern psychology (Psychology), the truth of dreams is completely different from our direct thinking and shocking in many ways.
Secret of dream science: Why is seeing death in a dream considered very auspicious?
According to ancient Indian dream science, there is a basic rule of the dream world – ‘the principle of opposite results’. This means that no matter how sad, frightening or painful the scene appears in the dream, its result in real life is often equally positive, beneficial and auspicious.
In dream science, death is not seen as the end of life, but as the ending of an old cycle and the beginning of a new auspicious chapter. If you see the death of a living person in your dream, then according to the scriptures, it directly means that some major crisis, serious illness or untoward incident looming over that person’s life has been averted and his age has increased (longevity) by many years.
Dreaming of parents’ death: a sign of longevity, blessings, and freedom from distress.
Parents are the strongest support and protective shield of our life. If the death of any of these is seen in the dream, then according to the dream science it has different deep meanings:
-
Seeing mother’s death in dream: In astrology and dream science, mother is considered to be the moon and the factor of peace of mind. If you dream of the death of your living mother, it means that your mother’s age and health will improve. If she is suffering from any disease for a long time, she will get health benefits soon. Apart from this, this dream indicates that mental stress is about to end from your life and you are about to get some new emotional strength.
-
Seeing father’s death in dream: Father is considered a symbol of Sun, respect, stability and decision making ability. Seeing your father’s death in your dream is a sign that some important work stuck in your life is about to be completed. You are going to get unexpected success in matters related to your career or property. Also, this dream symbolizes the father’s long life and his abundant blessings.
What is the result of seeing the death of a wife or spouse?
The fear of losing one’s spouse in marital life is in the heart of every person. If a person sees the death of his wife or partner in his dream, he should feel relieved instead of panicking. According to dream science:
-
This dream is a sign that your wife’s health will be strong and she will be in excellent health.
-
If there was tension, estrangement or discord in your married life for some time, then this dream indicates the end of all those negativity and the establishment of renewed love and harmony in the relationship.

That friend of yours is going to get some great success in his workplace, job or business.
-
Whatever obstacles or financial problems were going on in the friend’s life, their end is near.

This dream also shows that the trust and relationship between you and your friend will stand the test of time and be stronger than ever.
Seeing one’s own death or funeral procession in a dream
In dream science, seeing one’s own death or seeing one’s own coffin going to the crematorium is counted among the most auspicious and fruitful dreams:
-
Seeing yourself die: This indicates that a painful phase of your life has ended. If you were surrounded by any old debt, legal dispute or serious illness, you are going to get relief from it very soon. This is a sign of your own aging and spiritual awakening.
-
Seeing the funeral procession or bier: If you see someone’s funeral procession or a burning pyre in your dream, it means that you are going to suddenly receive pending money. This is considered a clear sign of huge profits in business, promotion in job and a huge jump in social prestige.
What does psychology say? Subconscious mind and Sigmund Freud’s theory
According to famous psychologists Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, dreams are a reflection of our subconscious mind’s suppressed emotions, fears and desires. From the perspective of modern psychology, these are the main mental reasons behind dreams of death:
-
Deep fear of loss: When we love someone deeply and cannot imagine living without them in our life, our brain processes the deep fear of losing that person in the form of dreams.
-
Big change in life (Transition): In psychology, death is considered a symbol of ‘transformation’. When you are going through a major change in your job, home, habits or lifestyle, the old form disappears and a new form is born, which the mind shows through the symbol of death.
-
Suppressed stress and anxiety: Excessive mental pressure, anxiety or insecurity in the mind regarding a relationship sometimes also causes terrible dreams.
