However, many people believe that dreaming of someone dying is a bad omen. It could be a premonition of the person dying in real life. Death dreams usually signify an end to something, whether it is a relationship or a career. So is this the same when we dream of someone dying?
Dreaming that a specific person is dying has particular meanings:
If you dreamed that your parents died, then you could be afraid in real life of losing them. If they are ill, then this makes sense that you would dream of them dying. Another reason is that you are taking up some position of responsibility. It could also mean that you are moving on from an immature lifestyle and settling into a more stable one.
Dreaming that a sibling is dying is a common sign that you are missing them or that you do not see them as much as you would like. It is also a sign that you could be jealous of them, either their lifestyle or their relationships. Dreaming that a partner is dying is often an indication that you are trying to deal with their death in real life.
Death dreams usually mean a change of some sort, as death signifies the end or a rebirth of something. Dreaming of someone dying means that this change or rebirth will happen soon if it has not already started. So you could be looking at a new career, finding a new love interest, or setting new career goals.
The most common reason for dreaming of someone dying is that you feel betrayed by them in real life. If you are sad about them dying, then this means you are also sad in real life. However, if you were happy or not bothered that they died, this means that this is their punishment for betraying you and you want revenge.
There are those that believe that the person who is dying possesses certain qualities that you subconsciously lack. Think about the relationship you have with this person, are you jealous of them in real life? Do you envy them and wish you were more like them? This dream could also mean that the qualities this person has are no longer useful for you and it is time to move on.
Think about your most important relationships in real life. Are you in danger of losing a special person? This could be that someone close to you is ill, or that you feel a partner is not in love with you anymore? This is quite a common dream and is simply your subconscious mind echoing what you are frightened of in real life.
Guilt feelings can lead to dreams about someone dying. If something terrible has happened and you think you did not do enough to help, then these types of dreams are your subconscious mind trying to deal with it.
You can even dream about someone dying if you were not actually involved in the event, but typically it will involve a close loved one.
This is a very subconscious cry for help. If someone in real life is controlling you to the point where you feel helpless, then dreaming about them dying is a passive way out for you.
Dreaming that they are dying doesn’t mean you want them dead, it is just that you need to escape from their controlling ways.
Fear of loss is often behind dreams of someone dying. When you value someone highly and you are afraid of losing them, this fear often gets transferred into your subconscious mind as dreaming. It is natural that you are afraid of losing the person you feel most strongly for.
This is probably the least likely reason for dreaming of someone dying. There have been reports, however, of women dreaming about seeing a person dying just before they got confirmation of their pregnancy. This could be a literal translation of death as a kind of rebirth.
Dreaming of someone dying does not mean that they will pass away in real life. It is more likely that there is a particular feeling of loss about that person. It could be that you are missing them more than usual and usually occur around important anniversaries. Use your dreams about dying to resolve any issues you have with that person and hopefully, they will stop naturally.
Dreaming of someone dying doesn’t have to mean a bad omen. It all depends on the context and situation you are in at that time.

You might be worried you have and unstable connection with them and you cant find anyway to fix it.
A friend of mine dreamed that I had died and was desperately trying to get hold of my sister.
We have known each other for over 20 years and talk almost every day. I also had a dream about her and we were living together.
Sometimes we do fight/argue, quite big ones. Last one was over 3 years ago and they hurt emotionally.
Hello people fromthe other side.
I had a dream last night that I had died. I went up to a room where my grandparents were and sat across the table from them. I was mad that I had died when I looked in the mirror I realized yes! I was dead. There was also at the beginning of the dream I was at a gathering and my spouse was wanting another woman. when he disappeared i went looking for him and when I found him that is when I found myself on a ledge and apparently fell of a scaffold. I didn't feel any pain or see how I fell but ended up in a spirit form. Then as I was sitting across from my grandparents I felt so mad that I had died like i wasn't ready to only to find him moving on with his life and getting together with this suspected woman in the beginning. It was a bad dream but I am really wondering what all It could mean.
I dreamed last night of being on a bridge with concrete, white balusters. On the bridge was a bar behind me. There were several people mingling about. The atmosphere felt like everyone there was just having a good time. I looked over to my right and there is this older guy wearing short bathing trunks. I have a premonition he is going to jump. Well, a young man dressed in a white shirt with long black hair steps upon the railing and just jumps off without hesitation. I lean way over the railing thinking don't fall as I look down and see him plummeting toward the river below which is shallow. In the dream I am hoping he hits the water yet am curious if he can survive a fall from this great of distance. In fact I remember hoping he will hit the water. He doesn't make it. Instead he hits one of the flat rocks barely beneath the water's surface. Upon impact his body gets mangled and crumpled. I can see his broken image lying upon the rock. His left arm is at an impossible angle. The bone of his right leg protrudes through the skin. The back of his head is flattened. I find it odd in the dream I can see all this detail when his body is so far below. I turn around and immediately shout for someone to dial 911. Upon waking I feel sick from viewing such a horrible death and even now, hours later, still visualize the young man's body lying on the rock being washed by the water.
