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.
Hospital
Hospitals represent the need for healing — physical, emotional, or psychological. Being a patient suggests vulnerability and a need to allow others to help. Working in a hospital may indicate a healing role in others' lives. An emergency room visit reflects urgent emotional needs. A hospital can also represent fear of illness or mortality.
