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.
Ex-Partner
Dreams about ex-partners are extremely common and usually don't mean you want to get back together. Instead, they often represent unresolved emotional patterns, qualities of that person you've internalized, or aspects of yourself that were prominent during that relationship. The ex may symbolize a particular time in your life rather than the actual person.
