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.
School
Schools represent learning situations, self-evaluation, and the social dynamics of your current life. Returning to school as an adult often reflects feeling unprepared or tested in a real-life situation. Being lost in school suggests confusion about your role. Taking a class you didn't know about represents unexpected challenges. The specific school — elementary, high school, university — indicates which life stage is being referenced.
