To dream of a dead acquaintance indicates that there is some part of yourself that is no longer needed. It could be an aspect of your personality, a friendship, an idea, or a belief that you are holding onto but that you no longer need. This symbol indicates that it’s time to let go. It’s telling you that it’s time for this part of you, this relationship, idea, or belief to “die.” Alternatively, this symbol could represent the person you are dreaming of. That person may be in your thoughts. You may need some quality that that person represents to you or that you associate with them. The symbol could be helping to bring those qualities into your conscious awareness so that you can incorporate them into your life.
