Dreaming About Graves: What Does This Dream Really Mean?

Dreaming about graves tends to cause unease, but I can assure you that in my twenty years of practice, it is interpreted primarily as a symbol of transformation. Far from being a negative omen, it is linked to processes of closing life stages, overcoming emotional grief, and the need to leave behind situations that no longer bring value.

Understanding this meaning requires you to analyze the context. Every detail offers a clue about your emotional state and the changes you are going through.
