To dream of seeing any of your people dead, warns you of coming dissolutionor sorrow. Disappointments always follow dreams of this nature.To hear of any friend or relative being dead, you will soon have bad newsfrom some of them.Dreams relating to death or dying, unless they are dueto spiritual causes, are misleading and very confusing tothe novice in dream lore when he attempts to interpret them.A man who thinks intensely fills his aura with thought orsubjective images active with the passions that gave them birth;by thinking and acting on other lines, he may supplant theseimages with others possessed of a different form and nature.In his dreams he may see these images dying, dead ortheir burial, and mistake them for friends or enemies.In this way he may, while asleep, see himself or a relative die,when in reality he has been warned that some good thoughtor deed is to be supplanted by an evil one. To illustrate:If it is a dear friend or relative whom he sees in the agonyof death, he is warned against immoral or other improper thoughtand action, but if it is an enemy or some repulsive objectdismantled in death, he may overcome his evil ways and thus givehimself or friends cause for joy. Often the end or beginningof suspense or trials are foretold by dreams of this nature.They also frequently occur when the dreamer is controlled by imaginarystates of evil or good. A man in that state is not himself,but is what the dominating influences make him. He may be warnedof approaching conditions or his extrication from the same.In our dreams we are closer to our real self than in waking life.The hideous or pleasing incidents seen and heard about us in ourdreams are all of our own making, they reflect the true stateof our soul and body, and we cannot flee from them unless we drivethem out of our being by the use of good thoughts and deeds,by the power of the spirit within us.[53] See Corpse.
