What does it mean to dream of a coffin

If you have recently had to face the loss of a relative or a very important person in your circle of acquaintances, it is normal to dream of this type of dream. Now, if your mind has shown you the coffin at random, the meaning can be quite versatile.

In the recent article we are going to explain the different details about the meaning of your dream with a coffin, so that you can apply it in your case. Experts in dream interpretation do not always associate dreaming of coffins with negative connotations. It could also be related to the dreamer's fondness for knowing more about the paranormal world, for reaching beyond those limits that human beings do not know, for investigating at a new level. The interpretation is similar to when you dream of cemeteries at night, or when you dream of dying.

At the same time, the interpretation can vary greatly depending on the circumstances of the dream: it is not the same if the coffin is open, if it is closed, the color of it, if you have seen an adult, a baby. We are going to tell you about the most common possibilities.

What does it mean to dream of a coffin?

It is common for a dream about coffins to be associated with the fact that a stage has concluded in your life giving rise to a new one. It may be that you have finished your studies, that you are moving to a new house, that you have to change jobs. It may also be that you are going to live in a new country, that you are going to start to quit smoking, that you have quit with your partner.

Surely there are certain things in your environment that would you like to detach yourself, do not deal with them again in any way. In order to delve deeper into your subconscious, you will have to make an effort to remember all those details that made up the dream. Also take into account the sentimental situation you are in right now, what you felt when you found the coffin, as well as any other important details.

You may be going through a stage of stress and dream that you are locked in the same coffin, or that you are going to the cemetery to talk to a person who has been very important in your life (your father, your grandfather, a friend ...). So that we already know the most common meaning, we are going to see some specific ones.

Dream of an open coffin

Was the coffin open or closed? It is quite an important detail. If you have dreamed of a open coffin is the indicative that you start a successful stage. You have a positive attitude and you hope to succeed in whatever you set out to do. It may be that you have been promoted at work and are going to charge a lot more, that you are getting married and moving to a new house, that you are expecting a baby (in this case, you should also study what sleep means dreamy of babies).

Dream of a closed coffin

However, in the case that the coffin is closed, the connotations are negative. Everything seems to indicate that negative change is expected which is related to the stress of routine, pressure. You could even dream that you are suffocating.

Dream of a white coffin

If you dream of a white coffin, this means that it has been purified your soul. White is associated with purity, with the right way to act, with putting your sins aside. You are very important to your loved ones and, if one day is missing, they will remember you for your kindness. You give more than you receive. If the coffin color is "brown," it won't mean much, as it is a fairly common color.

Dream of an empty coffin

Is the coffin empty? If there is no one inside the mortuary box, it is synonymous with that you feel lonely or something disoriented in your life. You may notice that your partner is very far away, or that your friends pass you by. It may also be the case that you don't know which way to go in your life. Your mind is alert that it is time to make new decisions.
