Psychologically, we need a period of adjustment when we have lost something (for instance when a relationship ends) and need to grieve for ourselves as much as for what we have lost.

Interpretation 4 — Martha Clarke
It is a manifestation of death. This does not necessarily mean that the dream is premonitory of such an event. More than anything, it alludes to the dreamer’s desire to see the end of an undesirable situation they do not know how to bring to a close. To dream of death is not a negative dream. It almost always manifests the intention of rebirth, of renewal. (See BURIAL and DEATH)
