Dreaming of a murder/ deceased person

Hi everyone, I had this dream a few nights ago and it has really been playing on my mind a bit and wondered of anyone had any ideas.
Someone that I knew commited suicide last year, his name was Kev, it was very recently after the birth of my daughter and because of this my friend chose not to tell me at the time it happened and told me about a month afterwards, as you can imagine I was upset about it but understood my friends reason for not telling me.

Anyway, I haven't thought about him for some time so was surprised that this came up in my dream. In the dream someone (and I don't know who this was) told me that Kev was missing and no one had seen him or heard from him, I was saying that I thought he was dead but was told no he was just missing. Anyway next in the dream I was told that a body had been found, the body was of another person who was a friend of Kev, someone that I don't really know but his name is Dan, I was told that Dan had been murdered, stabbed to death and that they were worried that the same thing had happened to Kev to which all I could say was that he had killed himself so he couldn't just be lost.

I woke up from this dream a little disturbed and confused and a bit upset. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could mean??

Hi FranH,

While I'm no expert on dreams, I would guess your dream about Kevin is merely your waking thoughts, ideas, regrets, memories about Kevin playing themselves out in your dream state. Deep down, you know what the dream means or why you could have possibly dreamt about him. Have you tried meditating on the answers you are seeking from within?
