Dreaming of Your Own Death
🌙 Does this dream sound familiar?
You die in the dream, or watch your own funeral with a strange mix of fear and calm.
🏮 The folk interpretation
Folk belief says dreaming of your own death predicts a long life or major transformation. If you feel calm, it signals rebirth; if fearful, hidden worries. Seeing your funeral means letting go of the past.
🧠 The psychological view (Jung)
Jung saw this as the ego confronting the Self, marking a profound shift. It mirrors current feelings of endings, identity change, or release, not a premonition but a reflection of inner transition.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
— C.G. Jung（要約・一般流布形）, Psychology and Alchemy の趣旨を要約した流布形表現
