If you dream that you are attending a burial, or a funeral, you may have experienced the loss of someone or something special in your life. A dream about a burial can be a message that you need to accept your loss so that you can try to move on with your life.
Witnessing a burial in a dream can be a sign that you are moving on to a new stage in your life. You are “burying the past” – moving from your old life to your new one.
A dream of a burial is often a positive dream; it implies the beginning of something new.
If you have a dream about being buried alive, you may be feeling overwhelmed by stress or responsibilities. Being buried alive in a dream can also be a sign that you are repressing upsetting feelings, and that if you do not face them and learn to deal with them, eventually, they will overwhelm you.
