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.
Swimming
Swimming in dreams represents how you're handling your emotional life. Strong, confident swimming suggests emotional resilience, while struggling indicates being overwhelmed by feelings. The type of water matters: clear water suggests clarity of emotions, murky water indicates confusion, and deep water can represent deep emotional territory.
