A funeral suggests that something has come to an end—a time of life, a relationship, a situation. It can mean that something about yourself is changing. For example, there comes a point when you are no longer a child or teenager and that part of yourself recedes to allow a more mature version of yourself to take over, and to mark the passing, you dream about a funeral. The idea extends to anything about yourself that changes. For example, someone who used to stutter learns to speak fluently, and the stutterer and the stigma that came with it is buried. You are “closing the lid” on the past, like closing a lid on a casket. See: Coffins A young man dreams he’s with two other men as they hold a funeral for a teenage Cherokee warrior. The warrior is in a canoe, and they push the canoe into a river. At the last moment, the dreamer thinks it would be funny to pull a prank by dropping a Pez dispenser into the canoe, then he feels bad about disrespecting the young warrior’s funeral. The funeral symbolizes that an immature part of the man is receding, but his action of pulling a prank shows that he’s holding onto some of his childish ways. Funerals are associated with burial. See: Burying They’re associated with graveyards. See: Cemeteries Dreaming about attending the funeral of someone you know can mean you are growing apart from the person or separating yourself from his or her influence. For example, dreaming about the funeral of your still-living parent can mean escaping the parent’s sphere of influence, becoming your own person, or escaping the parent’s restrictions. Dreaming about the funeral of a friend can mean you recognize that your relationship with the person is changing. Funerals are associated with death. You might be thinking about death because of a recent brush with it, or because someone you know is seriously ill or has recently died. Or perhaps you heard about a tragedy involving death. See: Death Along this line, consider the phrase “it’s your funeral,” often associated with taking a risk that can end badly. See also: Body parts, Burying, Coffins, Death, Cemeteries
