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.
Volcano
Volcanoes represent powerful emotions that have been building beneath the surface and may be ready to erupt. An erupting volcano suggests an emotional explosion — anger, passion, or creativity that can no longer be contained. A dormant volcano indicates suppressed potential or danger that is inactive but present. The destructive and creative aspects coexist: volcanic eruptions destroy but also create new land.
