Anytime death is present in a dream, it represents a cycle of rebirth. You have to ask, what part of my waking life right now is coming to an end, and what might that give birth to going forward?

So if in a dream, I'm hanging around dead bodies, then for me, it's representative of being stuck. Stuck where I haven't yet let go of the thing that is already ended in my waking life, so that the new thing can be born next. It's a limbo. To respond to that dream, I would try to put closure to something that has ended or make a gesture of closure.

Something else to think about is that dead bodies are a natural phenomenon. A dream with dead bodies in it might not necessarily mean the same thing as if you dreamt of something supernatural happening, or something illogical happening. Dead bodies are a very natural part of our reality and of our lives. This means that the limbo you're in is normal and natural.

Dreaming of dead bodies means something in your life is over and you need to move on from it. If you have this dream, think about what has ended in your life. Interpret this dream as a sign to let go so you can grow.

What does it mean when a snake appears in my dream?
I've had recurring dreams about snakes for years. It's not the same dream, just dreams about/featuring snakes, and they never bite me, they're usually just...there. These dreams don't really bother me and they're not scary, but I do wonder why I keep having them. I'll have periods where I don't have the dreams for months and then suddenly I have them again for weeks at a time, every night. Does anyone know anything about dream interpretation? Any thoughts as to why I'm having these dreams/what they mean?

I had a dream where my teeth fell out. What does it mean?
Hello wikiHow! I’ve had a curious couple of days here and I’m wondering if you all could help me out. For the past two nights in a row, I’ve had dreams where my teeth fall out. In the first one, I was walking through the park with four dogs and I had to keep dropping the leashes because my teeth would randomly come loose. I was so panicked! The next night, I had a dream that I couldn’t talk because every time I would, my teeth would come out and muck up my speech. I’m wondering what the meaning of these dreams might be? It seems pretty specific to have such a unique dream twice in a row, right?

Why am I dreaming of my ex so much?
So my ex boyfriend and I broke up OVER a year ago, I've been out with other people since then and would consider myself "over it," but lately I've been having vivid dreams about him and I'm not sure why. It's driving me crazy! Is there some spiritual significance to these dreams, or something the universe is trying to tell me? Help!
