Dream about faking death

Faking death in a dream means you are withdrawing entirely from view to find a way through a time that requires you to be gone. This pulling away from the eyes of others happens when the weight of what is expected becomes too much to carry in the light. We have seen that when a person retreats into the shadows of their own life, they are often seeking the stillness needed to turn toward a new path.

When you hide your true self from those around you, you create a space where the old ways can fall away. This withdrawal is a way of protecting what is left of your spirit from being used up by the demands of the household or the village. It is a time of being still that makes way for a long life. The heavy side of this dream is the risk that by hiding, you may find the world has moved on without you. Your silence is a gift of rest to the ones who wait for you to come back to the fire. May you find the peace that the stillness offers you and your kin.

A fake death in a dream shows that this withdrawal is a choice you are making to step back from the world. You are setting your burdens down by your own hand so that you may find your way again.

Someone faking their death in a dream shifts the focus to how your actions touch the people you belong to. Your absence leaves a hole in the circle of the house, and the people you love must learn to walk around it, child, while they wait for your shadow to return.
