THE DREAM There was a woman and she had ordered her own death. But she didn't realise that she had ordered her own death. I felt a bit sorry for her and also kept thinking "she doesn't know she will die."

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The dreamer had fallen out with a friend. There had been a lot of tension in the air and the dreamer felt that this person wanted to sort things out and be friends again but the dreamer was determined to carry on. The woman dying represented the end of this friendship and the fact that she does not know was symbolic of this friend feeling that they could still be friends. It captured that feeling "she doesn't realise that the friendship has ended".

Death is often a symbol of an ending. Death is very final and complete. Obviously death will link to issues involving death. Death can also link to specific feelings associated with an ending such as "it's over", "it will never happen again" and "its the end of an era." Such a theme was relevant in the dreamers thoughts the day before, the previous day is a vital period and thoughts then often trigger dreams. The dreamer had been thinking "she doesn't know that the freindship is over. I am just being polite to her. She still keeps trying to sort things out with me."
