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.
Ocean
The ocean represents the vast unconscious mind and the depth of human emotions. Calm seas suggest emotional tranquility, while stormy oceans indicate emotional turbulence. The depth of the ocean can represent unexplored aspects of the self. Standing at the ocean's edge may symbolize being at the boundary between conscious and unconscious awareness.
