Cemetery Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a cemetery may bring death to mind, but its meaning is usually tied to the end of a chapter in your life, or to a change. A cemetery is where the past is kept, so seeing one in a dream often means you are thinking about an old phase of your life, whether a relationship, a job or an old habit. The mood of the place sets much of the dream's tone.

• A calm, well-kept cemetery

  A shady, orderly cemetery shows you have made your peace with the past.

• A neglected cemetery overgrown with weeds

  This hints at an old pain you have not yet properly dealt with.

• Standing at the grave of someone you knew

  The dream expresses a bond with that person that still lingers, or something you never said to them.

• Walking through the cemetery and out the other side

  You are getting ready to put a hard time behind you and move on.

There is nothing to fear in this dream. The cemetery is a reminder of a truth that runs in a circle through life: endings and beginnings are always bound together.
