Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, a researcher of death and mourning, pointed out that dreams about death for mourners are a natural element of the mourning process and bring relief. Jung interpreted death as transformation - every ending is also a birth. Modern therapeutic psychology treats dreams about death as important materials for working with the process of change.
Cultural context
In Polish tradition, a dream about the death of a loved one (especially with blood) was interpreted as an ominous omen. In Mexican culture (Día de los Muertos), death is a part of life, and dreams about the dead are their visits. In Buddhism, death symbolizes impermanence - everything passes and that is okay. Dreaming about death in this perspective is an invitation to accept change.
What to do after such a dream?
Don't panic - dreaming about death is rarely a prediction. Think about what is ending or should end in your life. What must die for you to be born again? It could be an old habit, a toxic relationship, an outdated professional role, or a limiting belief about yourself.

Is it bad to dream about your death?

Is dreaming about the death of a loved one a bad omen?
Is rarely a literal prediction. It usually symbolizes a change in the relationship with this person, fear for him or her or the need to work through certain issues in this relationship. It may also reflect the natural fear for loved ones that everyone feels.
What does it mean to talk to a dead person in a dream?
This is a common mourning dream - the brain processes the loss through imagined encounters. It can also symbolize the need to close a relationship, say something you haven't had time to express, or integrate what the person has taught you.
Why are dreams about death so realistic and terrifying?
The brain in the REM state processes strong emotions, including existential anxiety. Death is one of man's primal fears, so sleep processes it through intense, realistic images. The intensity does not indicate the truth of the prediction, but the emotional importance of the topic.
What does it mean to dream about your own funeral?
Dreaming about your own funeral symbolizes the final ending - of an old stage, relationship, role or belief. This is one of the more symbolic dreams of initiation - something must be buried for something new to come.
