What Does Dreaming of a Funeral Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation, and according to Ibn Sirin, seeing a funeral in a dream most often points not to a real death but to an era closing, to a matter reaching its end, or to leaving an old state behind in repentance. A large and orderly funeral may be read as being remembered well, while a disordered one may point to something left unfinished.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, a funeral is the symbolic sending-off of a period that has ended; it can represent the process of leaving behind a relationship, a habit, or an old identity. What you feel in the dream shows how far that farewell has been accepted.
