Funeral
Funeral dreams represent the need for closure, the process of mourning, and formal acknowledgment of endings. They can indicate that you need to 'put to rest' some issue, relationship, or phase of life. These dreams often appear after or during major life transitions.
Hiding
Hiding in dreams represents avoidance, the desire for protection, or shame about something in your life. What you're hiding from reveals what you're avoiding in waking life. Successfully hiding may indicate relief from pressure, while being found despite hiding suggests that avoidance isn't working. Hiding someone else may represent protecting someone or concealing a secret.
