Many of the elderly have dreams about having difficulty with taking care of physical functioning. They have less dreams about fear-based or anger-based situations, especially women. They often dream about emerging in a birth-like fashion in another world. Many of these dreams are about passing through a tunnel into light. The spiritual beliefs of the dreamer play a significant role in how the death is faced. Life review is often done in the dreams of the elderly as well. The dreams do not signify demise, however, but rather a resolution and a beginning in a new world.

A death dream in the elderly are not a cause for grief. The meaning of death in a spiritual dream is specific to the spiritual beliefs of the dreamer and may be a vision or a message from the dream guide.
