Death and Afterlife

Cultural context

Death in dreams — an ending or a beginning

In Thai culture, dreaming of the dead is not always considered frightening. It is often read as the end of one chapter and the start of another. For a person in midlife, such a dream may traditionally be associated with a change of job or home.

A visit from someone who has died may traditionally be read as a reminder to attend to health or relationships. Sometimes it may simply express feelings of missing that person.
