Change in relationship, projection, fear

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.
Heart
The heart is the universal symbol of love and emotional truth. In dreams, the heart can represent your emotional core, romantic love, courage (taking heart), or compassion. A beating heart suggests vitality and passion. A broken heart reflects emotional pain. A heart exposed or held in hands suggests vulnerability and openness. The 'heart knows' archetype connects to intuitive wisdom that transcends rational thought.
