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.
Eating
Eating in dreams represents the incorporation of new ideas, experiences, or qualities into yourself. The type of food matters: healthy food suggests positive nourishment, junk food suggests empty pleasures, and exotic food represents openness to new experiences. Overeating may reflect overindulgence, while inability to eat can represent deprivation or anorexic tendencies — emotional rather than physical.
