Discover in our Dream Dictionary what it means to dream of the death of a child.
Without a doubt, it is the worst thing that can happen to you in life, that your son dies. However, it should be very clear that it is not a premonitory dream and that in the meaning of this dream there is no risk or danger for your child’s life. This terrible dream, in reality, does not speak of your child, but of yourself.
Unless you are an overprotective mother or that your child really has some disease, this nightmare in which your child dies has nothing to see with her physical integrity. As much can be a reflection of your fears, but those fears should also analyze us not to cause unnecessary alarms in your life and in the life of your child.
Generally, dreams with death are dreams of terror, more if it is a child. But do not fear, because death is also interpreted in the form of rebirth or renewal. Your child may be coming to adolescence and you are worried about losing that children’s child who will inevitably experience a great transformation in the coming months.
Of course, you do not have to bother you to look for hidden desires that something happens to your child, so you do not feel guilty for this dream with the death of your son because you do not choose your dreams nor are they a manifestation of what you want. Wake up, shake the anguish and prepare to support that child who will later become an adult.
It is true that dreaming of the death of a child is a disturbing dream experience and it is normal for you to ask the reasons. When you see that some of your children are not having a good time in life, which has suffered an important disappointment, which has been left without a job or that is going through complicated moments is when you can have this dream.
Are you surprised? It turns out that death in dreams is not a bad omen, but often represents the desire that that person with whom you dream has a kind of rebirth and to achieve that, before you have to die; Metaphorically speaking, of course. Dreaming of the death of a child is a kind of second chance, that you think your child needs.
But as we have advanced to you, many dreams with the death of children do not talk about children but about yourself. Being a mother is another project in life, perhaps the most important and to be sincere, we will not always go as we would like.
