Death (Own)
Dreaming of your own death is rarely a premonition — it almost always symbolizes the end of something in your waking life: a relationship, career phase, belief system, or identity. These dreams are actually among the most positive symbols in dream analysis, representing major transformation and the possibility of rebirth into a new phase of life.
Garden
Gardens represent the cultivated aspects of your psyche — the parts you've consciously nurtured and grown. A beautiful garden suggests inner peace, creativity, and personal growth. A neglected garden may indicate aspects of yourself you've been ignoring. Planting seeds represents new intentions, while harvesting represents reaping the rewards of your efforts.
