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.
Pig
Pigs in dreams can represent abundance and prosperity (piggy bank symbolism), earthiness and groundedness, or overindulgence and gluttony. In Chinese culture, pigs represent wealth, fortune, and honest work. In Western symbolism, pigs are sometimes associated with sloth and excess. The context of the dream determines which meaning applies — a happy pig on a farm differs greatly from a pig in filth.
