A deceased person dying again in a dream: what does it mean in Islam?

Prepared on the basis of classical Islamic sources

Source-based reading

You

I dreamed that someone who had passed away died again. What does it mean?

A deceased person dying again in a dream is not interpreted in the tradition of dream interpretation as news of a death; it may usually point to a hardship or sorrow concerning that person's family and loved ones. The dream is also understood as a reminder that the deceased needs prayer and good deeds. If the person died peacefully, without wailing and lamentation, the reading becomes lighter.

The symbols in your dream

  • A deceased person dying again: May be a hardship or sorrow coming to that person's loved ones; it is usually temporary.
  • The death being quiet and peaceful: Points to the hardship passing lightly and the family recovering soon.
  • Wailing and screaming afterwards: May point to tension in the family; calm and patience are needed.
  • Crying quietly afterwards: Ordinary crying points to hardships ending and the heart finding relief.
  • The deceased coming back to life again: Points to ease after hardship and a matter that seemed closed coming alive again.

In short

A dream of a deceased person dying again can shake the heart, but it carries no verdict about anyone's lifespan. The dream mostly reminds you to look after the deceased's family and to do good on their behalf with prayer and sadaqah. If the family is going through a hardship, trust that it will be overcome with patience and solidarity.

Advice

  • If the dream saddened you, seek refuge in Allah from the evil of Shaytan, lightly spit three times to your left, and do not tell the dream to anyone; it will not harm you.
  • Recite Al-Fatiha and Al-Ikhlas for the deceased and give sadaqah on their behalf.
  • Call the loved ones they left behind and ask how they are.

Allah knows best the truth of dreams.
