Shrouding Dream Meaning

Seeing a shroud in a dream is frightening at first, but it usually stands for the end of a chapter in your life, not for death. When one phase is closing and something new is about to begin, the mind reaches for heavy symbols like this.

• Seeing yourself wrapped in a shroud

  The time has come to leave behind an old identity, a habit or some part of your way of life, even if that hurts.

• A clean white shroud

  This carries a kind of peace, as if your mind is ready to accept a change.

• Someone you know in a shroud

  This is not a sign of that person's death. Instead it speaks of an old form of your relationship with them changing.

• Helping to wrap someone in a shroud

  You are consciously going through the process of saying goodbye to a chapter of your life.

Behind every ending there is also a new beginning, just as dawn comes when the night is over. It sounds hard, but this dream is really a quiet practice in accepting change.
