Seeing My Name On A Tombstone

[Lucid Night Flight]

In last night's dream I saw my name written on a tombstone, but it only had my first name written correctly...the last name was different than my own and there was a middle name there, and I don't have a middle name. The odd thing was that when I saw my name there I didn't freak out or anything, instead I looked closer and noticed there was a basket of flowers on the tombstone with many colorful, beautiful flowers, and I remember thinking "this is so nice, I like it" as if it was something sentimental, held meaning or was some sort of a gift/acknowledgement to me, and I felt a great sense of serenity and peace as I was looking at those flowers. I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but the middle name written on the tombstone was "Kollins," though the last name I remember vaguely, but it was something like "Pollie." I've been going through many transitions in my life as of late, so I was thinking this dream may be symbolically telling me that I'm a different person now or that I've "died to myself." I've read somewhere that this type of dream is a good omen because it symbolizes positive change/transition and the dying of the old/unwanted aspects of self; however, on another website it said something quite different, so I'm still puzzled as to what this dream may be trying to convey to me. I'll be very grateful for any constructive feedback.

As I'm sure you know, dream interpretation is a very personal thing. So I probably can't help much. What you've said so far sounds pretty accurate though, with the rebirthing and such. That other site you mentioned... well, there are a lot of random and fake sites out there. I know that death does generally signifty a transition, and growth, and not just in dream interpretation. The Death card in tarot, for example. A seemingly negative card, but really, represents the same thing. But yeah, sounds like you were definitely on the right track with your speculations Congratulations, change is good! And of course, the positive feelings towards the flowers, you've gotta trust that. Feelings are probably the most important part to take into consideration when interpreting, it can really change the meaning of a symbol... Hope this helps? -

I have to agree that death signifies transition. Your first name is unchanged and probably will never be. Why should it? The last name can be different at a particular period of your life, for example after you have got married...so are you about some radical changes in your life?

[/b] Yes, I have been going through some changes finance-wise, spiritually, etc... I guess the dream may be indicating that I am heading in the right direction in my life. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective on my dream.
