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.
Snow
Snow represents purity, stillness, and the covering or concealment of what lies beneath. Fresh snow suggests new beginnings and a clean slate. Melting snow indicates the thawing of emotions or the revelation of hidden truths. Being trapped in snow reflects emotional numbness or isolation. Snowfall can be peaceful (gentle transformation) or threatening (blizzard, burial).
