1. Emotional response: Frequent dreaming of a friend's death may reflect your concern, worry, or unease towards that friend in real life. This type of dream is a subconscious emotional projection of the friend's health or safety status.
2. Psychological stress: It may also be a manifestation of the significant psychological pressure, anxiety, or tension you have been facing recently. The death symbol in dreams represents the end and change, which may indicate that you want to get rid of a certain situation or pressure, but the specific context points to friends, indicating that this emotion is related to your social relationships or specific interpersonal interactions.
3. Subconscious processing: Dreams are a way for the brain to process information, integrate memories, and emotions while resting. Dreaming of a friend's death does not necessarily indicate any specific bad things, but may be the brain organizing memories, emotions, or experiences related to this friend to help you better understand and handle these relationships.
