Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
Deer
Deer in dreams symbolize gentleness, grace, natural beauty, and sensitivity. A deer may represent your gentle, vulnerable side that needs protection. In many spiritual traditions, deer are messengers of peace and compassion. A running deer may suggest you need to move through a situation with grace rather than force. A stag with antlers adds masculine power and nobility to the gentle deer symbolism.
