What does it mean to dream of an obituary? Is it good or bad to dream of an obituary? Dreaming of an obituary has real-life influences and reactions, as well as the dreamer's subjective imagination. Please see below for a detailed explanation of dreaming about an obituary organized by the Zhougong Dream Interpretation website. Dreaming of reading someone else's obituary in the newspaper suggests that you might harbor hostility towards the person mentioned in the obituary. If you dream of reading your own obituary in the newspaper, such a dream may also indicate your anxiety about your identity and status. It is possible that deep down you are afraid of losing your job, social status, or suddenly becoming unpopular. Dreaming of an obituary hanging at the entrance of a house suggests that you might suddenly receive news of the death of a relative or friend. Seeing someone with a black armband in the dream means that sadness will envelop you. For businesspeople, this dream is a bad omen. For young people, it indicates frequent quarrels with their lovers, eventually leading to a breakup.
