Death worries us and reveals us even in our dreams. Many people dream of a coffin and that leaves them a sense of fear of the imminence of a death. However, the interpretation of dreams with coffins has nothing to do with death. Discover in our dream dictionary the meaning of dreaming of a coffin.
The only case in which dreaming about a coffin is related to death is when you dream it because someone close has died. In this case, there is no possible interpretation, since the dream is nothing but a reflection of your concerns or the impact that this death has caused you. In the rest of the cases in which a coffin appears in your dreams, you can prepare. But not for death, but for certain problems.
The coffin in your dreams announces quarrels, fights and also loss of people. People who will not die, but will move away from your life for misunderstandings or because, simply, they have fulfilled a cycle as friends. On the other hand, one of the situations that most frightening us in life, which is to find ourselves alive within a coffin, means that a long life awaits us.
And it is that the coffin in dreams also reflects our inner world, behaviors that have to be buried and live according to our principles and values. A coffin in your dreams is not always a bad omen, but it is convenient to watch your love life well if you have had such a funeral dream.
Many of the meanings of dreams with coffins are related to your love life. If the coffin moves, for example, it is interpreted as sentimental problems or an important couple crisis. The same happens if what you dream is how you contemplate a coffin in a funeral car, because it means that you will remain oblivious to your couple problems trying to ignore them instead of solving them.
Although it seems incredible, dreams with coffins also have meanings linked to events as different as weddings. If you dream of a coffin covered with white flowers, it is the announcement of a nearby wedding, perhaps yours. But be careful, because it also means that marriage will not be long.
The coffins in dreams also have meanings that have nothing to do with your love life and yes to your emotions, with your inner world, with your past and how you relate to your environment. We leave you some examples of dreams with a coffin and its interpretations.
Maybe you are in a cemetery or maybe in a funeral home, the fact is that you open a coffin and you are empty. Who did you expect to find? To a deceased relative, yourself or maybe all those memories of the past that you wanted to bury.
The dream speaks of a moment of loss, you are looking for something, surely certain comfort and thought to find it in that coffin that is empty. It will be that you have to look elsewhere, next to another person or within yourself. Surely you have to reflect on your life and your support, there you will find your answer.
Dreaming of a closed coffin is quite common when you are in a vital period of doubts and uncertainty. Surely in your dream you will be wondering what is inside that coffin, if there is a known person, if you know that it belongs to someone but you do not dare to look inside …
In general, these dreams often mean that you need to reflect on your life, about the course you are taking. Especially if you have to make an important decision, or if you feel that you have had any vital loss, not of a person, but of any aspect, such as work, economic or even loving.
Not everyone dares to open a coffin, so to start you can be considered a brave and bold person. But you will also have to discover the reasons why you open a coffin. Do you want any track? It is something you have not overcome because you do not want it or you cannot accept it. It can be the death of a loved one, but also of other losses.
What if you find that open coffin directly? If you do not open it, but you observe how that coffin is open in your dream, the meaning will point to that curious personality you have. And, above all, to everything you need to face to continue advancing in your life.
You see a person known in a coffin but in reality that person has not died. Quiet because it is not a premonitory dream, but you can be attentive to the problems that person may have at this time of his life. A person to whom you want to rest for a moment, that his problems give him a truce and that he can be renewed or renewed to be happier.
You may not see a person who has not died in that coffin in your dream, but quite the opposite. Dreaming that you see a dead man inside the coffin can tell you about the loss of that person, that you have not overcome her or that she has been very recent. If he is an unknown person, he can tell you a moment of inner renewal, of letting “die” what worries you or disturbs you.
To understand the meaning of your dream with a white coffin you must take into account your vital context and, above all, the emotions that this dream experience has produced. Because it is common to wake up with a positive sensation, and that surely produces you more doubts since the coffin usually relates to negative aspects.
White coffins in dreams speak of vital renewal. If you bury what you do not need, it can be an anxiety or concerns that it seems that they will never go, but that have come to an end. It is time to take the reins of your life and start cleaning your interior to fill yourself with a lot of positivity.
Surely negative emotions invade you when dreaming of a black coffin. It is a hue that is associated, in dreams, to vital negative periods loaded with problems or concerns. However, your dream can be interpreted in a positive way.
You can take your dream as a way to start from scratch, to close a life cycle, to start a new life loaded with moments of happiness that will gradually come without hardly looking for them. It is a dream that you can learn a lot if you reflect on those aspects of your life that you can and want to change.
The brown color in dreams speaks of naturalness and spontaneity. Surely when you dream of a brown coffin, the meaning can aim that you need to recover that authenticity and that safety in yourself/or that you had before but that has been lost little by little.
It is a dream that serves to realize that you are not living according to your values or your way of being. You may have been carried away by the opinions of others and it is time to be you again, to be the best version of you, to act according to what you like or your way of thinking. You can get it!
One night you dream of a coffin falls. These types of dream experiences can become authentic nightmares for everything that implies that this coffin slips to the ground or the floor in the middle of a burial or a wake, and it may even break or fracture unintentionally.
To understand your dream you must look at the details of it. If the coffin falls but does not break, or if you arrive in time to hold it, it will talk about vital difficulties but that you are prepared to face them. But if it breaks, the dream will indicate that you are in a somewhat complicated period and that you must be strong to overcome it.
Dreaming that you are loading on your shoulder a coffin can talk to you, precisely, all those vital loads you have. The meaning of your dream will depend on whether you know the person inside the coffin or not. If the answer is affirmative, it could mean that you are carrying the problems of that person, or that you are worried/or he/he and need to share his charge.
You can also indicate the excess of responsibilities and concerns you have, all those loads that you carry on your shoulders and that weigh so much. But do not be distressed, because it’s just a dream that you can take as a warning to rest, to take a breath.
It turns out that you are in a coffin, that everyone thinks you have died but it is not true. You are very alive, only now you are involved in that place. Although it seems like a nightmare, it is one of the most encouraging dreams that you can have with coffins because you talk about you not to surrender, you may be sunk at the moment but you have not yet thrown the towel and you will continue to fight to get out of that coffin, to move on.
And dreaming that you are dead in a coffin is a variant of the previous dream. You see yourself from another dimension there well lying on the coffin because you have died. But what are you not sad? The most frequent feeling in this type of dream is of peace, that of calm, the rest, because it is precisely what you need in your life. Do not take it to the letter, please, because to stop, forget about the world, rest and return to life you don’t have to die, sometimes it is enough to take time for yourself.
The truth is that dreaming of a coffin, although the interpretation of death does not imply, is not a dream too pleasant. Have you ever had a dream with a coffin? Tell us in the comments!
