Loewenberg also believes that dreaming about the death of a loved one can reflect a similar fear of change, especially with regard to our children. 'Like death, change can be scary because-also like death-we do not know what is 'on the other side' of the change, which is why the dreaming mind equates change with death,' suggests Lauri Loewenberg in her book 'Dream on It: Unlock Your Dreams, Change Your Life.' Popular dream interpretations suggest that such dreams reflect anxiety about change or a fear of the unknown. Dreamers sometimes dream of the death of a loved one or even of dying themselves.
Death is another common subject of dreams and one that can be particularly disconcerting.
