Although most of us don't like to think about it, we all know that everyone will die some day. No matter how much you try to avoid thinking about the death of a loved one or your own death, at some stage in your life, your unconscious mind will start trying to prepare you for it.

Your dreams can incorporate many concepts that are associated with death, such as loneliness, loss or relief from suffering.
