What does it mean to dream of your dead husband?

During my studies, all the widows who dreamed of their dead husbands had three factors in common:

  • Lack of love (or simply loneliness)
  • Need for protection/help
  • Fear of the future

This dream then is not a negative dream That should scare you, But more of a warning: your emotions (mainly the sadness) are destroying you, and you are afraid of what will happen in the future. You may have problems with financial situation, health, or any other kind of problem, and that's why your husband appeared to you in your dream.

The figure of the Husband in dreams

The husband represents the Masculine principle, masculinity, impulses and ambitions; it is also regarded as a Symbol of stability, safety and security. His figure is contrasted with his wife, who represents instead intuition, sensitivity and femininity.

To dream of your husband means you have a need for protection and love, and if he appears to you in a dream dead it can represent how the lack of security, due to a major change in your life or external factors.
So we can look at the loss of your spouse, in this case your husband, both in a literal way (that he really died) and in a symbolic way, that is, the end of a part of your life.

Dream Factors

Who dreamed it: a young woman or a mature woman?

One of the most important factors to consider is a factor not directly inherent to the dream but to the dreamer: in fact, this dream can happen to women of all ages.

There are differences if the dreamer is a young woman (under 50) or a mature woman (over 50).
If you are a young woman:

  • He asked you something: You should talk to his relatives.
  • He gave you advice: You must listen to his advice and words carefully.
  • He embraced you: keep in your heart the happy moments experienced

If you are a mature woman:

  • He said goodbye to you: don't blame yourself, you have not experienced an unhappy marriage, quite the opposite.
  • He visited you: you will meet his old friends and relatives, people who loved him.
  • She was doing household chores: A new chapter in your life is coming, and it will be hard to get used to it.

Husband's Emotions

The husband's emotion is another important factor to consider: Was he sad? Was he happy? Was he crying? Was he sick or hurt?

If you dreamed of your dead husband who was sad, means that he is unhappy with what you are doing and the life path you are following.
If he was happy instead, means that he is proud of what you are doing and that you should continue on that path.

On the other hand, if he was hurting or injured, it mainly means that you have inner regrets; more specifically:

  • Dead and sick husband: waste new relationships.
  • Husband asks for help and care: You need to get closer to other people and make new friends.
  • Bleeding husband: you are afraid for your children.

Variations of the Dream

Dreaming of the husband living as if he were dead

It's not even that rare Dreaming of one's husband alive as a dead man: but the explanation is much more complex and intricate.
In a relationship between husband and wife, it is important to consider a woman's perceptions of herself and one's sexuality, as well as one's physical, mental and spiritual space.

Self-perception develops from a young age: is in fact born out of the relationship with the father, and thereafter, every relationship will be based on this bond. When the doubts and anxieties of this perception are not discussed, they will emerge as emotions, and mainly in the dreams, Dreaming of the death or loss of one's husband.

Another variation of dreaming about one's husband is. dreaming of him not talking: less common than the other dream variations, it has a fairly simple meaning.
