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.
Island
Islands represent isolation, self-sufficiency, and refuge from the overwhelming 'ocean' of emotions or life demands. A tropical island paradise suggests a desire for escape and rest. A deserted island reflects loneliness and self-reliance. An island you can't leave represents feeling trapped in isolation. Islands also represent the conscious self surrounded by the vast unconscious (the sea).
