Dreaming about being dead

[Konstantin]

I have a very upsetting dream last night.

I was dreaming that i was dead. I haven't die in the dream but i was already dead. And as a spririt /soul i was in front one bed . My 9 year old son was seating on the bed. He could not see me but we were communicating on some way.
I was explaining to him how we all have souls and when we die our soul still lives and it goes to other realms.
I was very sad about living him. Even now while i`m writing this i start to feel the same sadness as in the dream.

I told him that i`m here now but i cant stay for a long time here because when people die their soul stay in this realm for a short time before they go to other realms. I told him that i must go. I dont want to leave him but i dont have any other solution.
He said that he is feeling my presents next to him as a cold air in front of him. Then from my left side i saw a mirror and i saw my blurred reflection in it but it looks like a reflection in the water, not in the mirror. When i saw how blurred and unstable is my reflection i got very upset and afraid.

All the time i was speaking to my son and he was listening everything with a great attention.
I felt so much sadness and sorrow that i must leave my son that i woke up crying.
After few moments I realized that it was a dream and i continue sleeping.

Yeah, I can totally understand how upsetting it can be. So, big hug to you. Konstantin. But just a note that the usual interpretation of seeing yourself dying or being dead in a dream isn't a negative one. Quite the contrary. It does symbolize major personal change, though, where perhaps "an older self" dies. And this can undoubtedly be both sad and scary, because major changes always are.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad dream Konstantin As Keit said, I think this doesn't have to be negative, and doesn't need to be taken literally.

Fwiw, I had a bad dream last night myself. I can't remember any details, but I remember that I woke up in the night disturbed, and I thought "this is a big warning, maybe about an attack, I need to remember". This morning I slept for another 15 minutes after the alarm went off, and again had a dream that struck me as important, but unfortunately I can't remember anything either. My wife had a disturbing dream as well.

I should mention that we received our crystals just a few days ago, and yesterday evening I did the round breathing and meditation with my protection crystal on my chest. The dream crystal was also there under my pillow last night (and my wife's as well).

Sorry, I don't want to distract from your dream, just thought it's interesting.

I found this on one of the pages that talk about your dream:
"Dream own death symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening in you or your life. You are going through a transitional phase, a more enlightened or spiritual. While such a dream can lead to feelings of fear and anxiety, it is not cause for alarm, as it is often considered a positive symbol.
Dreams of his own death usually means that big changes ahead. You move to a new beginning, leaving the past behind. These changes do not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a break with the old things and habits. So, dying does not always mean physical death, but the finish of something. "

Good luck in the new chapter of your life :) :) :)

I agree. That's what occurred to me when I read your post. As distressing as it is, it's symbolic of dying to the old self and transforming into a new life and way of being.

I would agree with the others here Konstantin. Experiencing the sadness of the dream must of been extremely emotional for you. I would look at this dream as sign that there is shift into a new state of consciousness or being for you. The sadness been the letting go of the old baggage. I think in time the dream will have more meaning for you so I'm glad you've got it down to refer back to.

It's a bit of a synchronicity to me that you've had such a dream.

Since the latest session, I've been reading the transcripts again from the beginning and the July 22, 1994 session, had Ellaga describing some of the more gory details of what happens to the missing children.

Q: Why are you saying these awful things?!
A: Must know what consortium is doing.
Q: What children are they doing this to?
A: Done mostly to Indian children.
Q: Why am I getting this horrible feeling while you are telling us this?
A: Because subject is distressing.

So it dawned on me, I should sit down and explain our situation with my son, predicularly what happens with our souls, what souls are, how they relate to our body, and then lead into explaining that bad guys steal children from their families.

But I fear that he may not understand or even pay attention. It's tough to gauge his awareness due to his condition (autism). That and he already has a lot of anxiety when we go outside, the last thing I need is for him to be afraid that he will be snatched, if he happens to be absorbing what I'm telling him.

(EDIT: The reason why I want him to be aware of bad guys stealing children, is that he 'bolts' away from us from time to time in public. It's very distressing, luckily, I'm faster than he is and capable of stopping him.)

I think, where your child is neurotypical, that you have an advantage compared to my predicament, where it comes to educating him about souls (presuming you haven't already).

I agree too. I'm not an expert in dream interpretation but I've always read that dreaming of dying was related to personal inner transformation and change. Your blurred image in the mirror might just mean that your 'new self' is forming, taking shape progressively, its "outlines" not well defined yet. FWIW!

I agree me too. Very interesting dream even if you felt so sad but sadness is a very human emotion and we should listen to sadness, sadness have always something to say. When death appears in a dream it is a change. The other day I dream that my husband was dead, and he didn't know he was dead. I felt so sad I wake up crying. I think this mean a change of my perception of him, death means change, a travel to another realm, a new step. And yes, meet death in a dream is always scary and sad.

Like the rest, I too thought that the dream meant transformation, most likely positive. I'd like to add that perhaps saying goodbye to your child has the extra meaning of seeing him growing old, which might feel like you are 'losing your baby' (and getting a big boy instead). So transformation may be for you but also for your family. Finally, it could be that your unconscious is simply expressing feelings of anxiety about being able to be a good father for long enough, in the face of life's fragility and unpredictability.

That's a bizarre mispell. I don't remember seeing it when I edited the post. Feels like a punch to the nose.

I would hope it's my mistake and not a deliberate alteration from else where. (That would be the punch to the nose feeling.)

As for my interest in educating children about souls, that would stem from my own anxieties, and Konstantin's dream certainly tapped into that.

What if I died today and my son wouldn't understand where I was? Knowing that we have souls, would certainly help him cope with the loss of his father. (heaven forbid he has to suffer this loss any time soon)

I've tried on occasion to explain souls to my son and I just can't detect or tell if he's absorbed any of it, or if he was engaged in what I was saying in any way.

At any rate, Konstantin, your dream, emphasized this anxiety.

I think that when we undergo inner changes in our lives, it also affects our relationships with those closest to us, because we aren’t’ the same person as we once were. Perhaps the sadness you felt in the dream is symbolic of a concern that your relationship with your son could change as you transform, and therefore it was important to reassure him.

I remember waking up from dreams that were sad and how intense the feelings can be to process. I think that is because of the necessity to call our attention to something of great importance and if we did not experience the strong emotions of the dream, perhaps we would not pay as much attention.

 

[Konstantin]

Thank you so much to all of you for your perception of this dream. I was thinking in similar direction, but all this posts give me more wider perspective.
Yeah, there are changes and i hope they will crystallize very soon. Maybe iodine have accelerated those changes by cleaning my endocrine system.
The Work continues, and all changes are welcomed and accepted.
Thank you once more :)

I agree with the consensus too that the dream doesn’t necessarily point to anything negative. What struck me was that the emotions were powerful enough to wake you with crying, which speaks more of an awakening of the emotions (no pun intended). Other impressions were that there may be some kind of bleed through from past life, i.e., the son in the dream may also represent a past father-son connection. As these things get muddled in dreams, the son could also represent a part of yourself, inner child that in a sense we 'leave behind' as emotional maturity and awareness grows.
