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.
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.
