I dreamt I died recently. It was a moment when I knew and assured myself that I was going to die. Some anxiety arose until it just happened. I felt as if my spirit/soul/essence rose from my physical body and into another dimension. Alex Grey, one of the most creative artists of our time, has created a very good depiction of death, and what it was I felt.
This dimension was similar to the one we live now. I was on a tropical beach, with 2 other individuals, I could not recall who they were. It was night, and the moon was glowing as full as it ever could. Then a sudden shooting star glowing across the sky, then another. About 100+ shooting stars glowed through the clouds. I remember visualizing them and feeling a sense of blissfulness.
There are many ways I could interpret this dream. Dreams are metaphors of life. I did research on a dream website for the words Death and Shooting star.
To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something.
To see a shooting star in your dream, is a sign of self-fulfillment and advancement. A shooting star is also symbolic of a new birth and changes in your life.

This basically sums up everything that I have been experiencing lately. As far as becoming more compassionate, loving myself and others, letting go of the past and living in the present.
Not too sure about the "new birth", new birth of myself? Possibly.
