Dreaming of Funerals
An ending being formally acknowledged — often a good sign.
The traditional read
A funeral meant closure and the releasing of an obligation.
What it usually means now
Funerals in dreams mark endings you've accepted, not deaths to come. Attending someone living is usually about the end of how you related to them. Crying at a funeral you can't identify is grief for a chapter rather than a person.
But symbols don't dream alone
A dictionary entry can't see the room, the person standing in it, or how it ended. Describe the whole dream and get a reading that uses funerals as context, not as the answer.
