• Most Common Meaning: To most people’s surprise, burying a body is a fairly common theme in dreams. In fact nice non-murderous folks seem to have this dream most often. The action is associated with the attempt to dispose of some aspect of your self or something in the past. Talents, tendencies and interests tend to become personified in our dreams. If you decide to give up pottery and go work for a corporation, you may dream that you murdered the town potter and have to bury him quickly before your crime is discovered. The dream exaggerates the extreme measure of killing off some part of life because it doesn’t fit, or because we now find it shameful. In some cases, the body has symbolized the actual physical body of the dreamer and the abandonment physical self care.

• Useful Questions:
  • Is there some activity or part of your life that you have discarded, given up, or become ashamed of?
  • Have you recently entered a relationship, job, or community where you feel the need to quickly adopt particular mores or values?

If you can identify the thing in real life that has been killed off you may want to consider whether you are going overboard with the change. It’s not really necessary to destroy one identity in order to commit to a new one. Integration and assimilation are better transition tools than sending parts of the self into exile.
