How Dreams Can Anticipate Death and Point to the Afterlife

Death is one of the greatest mysteries of human existence, the inevitable fate that unites us all. Whenever man is confronted with something mysterious and unknown such as the origin of the world, death, the afterlife, etc., the unconscious produces symbolic representations.

In her groundbreaking book, On Dreams and Death, Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz writes about death dreams, that is, dreams of people who subsequently died. Therefore, they are of a precognitive nature, as they can anticipate the death of someone. In death dreams, the end of physical life is represented in a symbolic way, but almost always accompanied by manifestations that allude to the continuation of the person’s life.

“It is in fact true, as Jung has emphasised, that the unconscious psyche pays very little attention to the abrupt end of bodily life and behaves as if the psychic life of the individual, that is, the individuation process, will simple continue… The unconscious “believes” quite obviously in a life after death.” - Marie-Louise von Franz

    Death is not just something that happens at the end of our life, it’s an opus magnum, and the effort that we make, the conscious realisation is completely essential. For one has the chance to experience in death the “birth” of one's soul-substance, the Self, the great work which is the completion of one’s inner wholeness.

    What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and our feelings do not suffice to form even an approximate conception of it. - C.G. Jung
  • @Beederda
    This is seriously one of the best yt channels. I heard john vervaeke say once “we come to a point where our temporal horizon flips, and we stop living from our birth, and start living towards our death”

    When I was 20 and I slowly had blood poisoning. I also dreamed of death and I knew that time was coming slowly. after a successful surgery and the right medication, it went away again.
  • @VigilantBal
    Your ability to tap into a deeper realm of consciousness and deeply understand and convey these concepts is a gift. Thank you for the information

    About half a year ago I had a dream about my grandpa's funeral. He was still subjectively healthy back then, there were no major signs of any illnesses. Just after Xmas he fell very sick, ended up in a hospital. After his release, he was pretty okay, but one day he got a very bad diarrhea, day by day getting weaker and weaker. On the third day he got a bit better, started eating a bit. We cleaned him and prepared him to send to the hospital next day. Next day, an hour before we were meant to send him there, he died. I tried CPR, called an emergency number... But it was too late. And I knew it. It wasn't a big shock to me that it happened... I already knew. When he was put in the funeral home, it was almost 1:1 like in the dream... Even the sun shining from the side thru the window... Ngl, doing CPR on a cold grandpa's body traumatized me, but it would be much worse if I was unprepared. I feel blessed by this experience anyway, I fear death less and less. It also made me take a better care of myself. Hopefully he's in a better place now 🙏🏼

    Thank you for this. I am grieving my mother, she passed from covid 2 years ago. It was sudden and extremely traumatic. Like many who've lost loved ones, I began to seek any spiritual guidance. I've had many dreams of her since. Many of her coming home healthy from the hospital. Another of me comforting her when she confided that she was scared to die, I responded that she was going to be okay that she was God's child and to not worry. I haven't considered myself religious prior, I went through a bit of an agnostic phase throughout my 20's. I classified myself as spiritual. A few months after her passing, I believe I saw her spirit in my family home. I was outside in our backyard working out. I saw through our glass French doors, her standing underneath a cross in our dining room with her hand folded watching me. It was so brief and jarring, but I knew it was her, there was an internal feeling that gave me reassurance. No one else was home at the time. Since then, I haven't seen anything, in fact, that was the only time in my life something like that has happened. Learning more about the possibilities of an afterlife, I was given comfort from your video. I know my mother believed wholeheartedly in God and her spot in heaven. Thank you for sharing your content. ❤
  • @cyber-gonk5281
    I am facing a period of doubt and uncertainty, feeling rather lost not knowing if I am following the path or if I am deluding myself. I do know in a deeper sense that things are as they should be, but lately it has been hard keeping my conviction of this strong. You have managed with this video, as with all of them, to verbalize the connection of the struggle, our doubts and fears, to the greater meaning beyond this transient existence of ours, so I thank you greatly, Mr. Eternalized, for yet reminding me of my task.

    Every time you upload, I know it's gonna be a great day. Thank you for this gift.
  • When I was a child I dreamt I was a dalmatian puppy on a stage in front of a crowd (medieval times I think?) And there was a man with a frock on his head and a large axe. I knew what was coming, and i accepted, bowing my head. I dreamt he beheaded me because of the crowd and I dreamt going through this tunnel of flashing lights and I woke up crying.
  • @awolpeace1781
    You can dig yourself out of a new tunnel to return to life, but you must claw through all matter of earth and roots to reach life again in a different path on which you left it.
  • @redwolfe777
    Death dreams and research in NDEs seem to confirm a wisdom that is age old. More than 2000 years ago, Plato told the myth of Er and also wrote: And what is that which is termed death, but this very separation and release of the soul from the body. Time does not exist in the spiritual world. The ephemeral, material body is the temporary bearer of the soul, which is eternal. The soul, free from the body, comes into contact with the dead. Death is an awakening, a remembering of the soul.
  • @halofrog1861
    I had a NDE, I tried to off myself, (trying to avoid community guidelines) and I did it with many methods, as I was taken into the ambulance, I lost consciousness. But I remember everything that happened while I was "not alive", I was in a vast field of hills, grass as green as ever, lit by something far off in the distance I could only describe as a morning star, that flooded everything in a yellowish color, my hill had a tree, so did every hill, some hills had people too, some several people, others just one, I felt so much peace, no depression, no anxiety, no disforia, no pain, I was... happy, but something told me I should be melancholic, I sat down under the tree for a while, hearing laughter and screams of joy, I wondered for a second if this was some sort of heaven or some sort of a waiting room, because of the people that were alone, and those who were, mildly alone. As I did, I began to sank into the ground and a horrible gulp of air went into my lungs. I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital, laying in a ER bed, both arms with huge pieces of fabric (from my own clothes) on them. Since then, I've had a hard time telling what is real and what is not, sometimes I just have to stop and breathe and just think about things that I wouldn't be able to make up in my mind, or just grab a little wooden carved rose from Sonora, that only I've ever touched, only I knlw its weight and mistakes.
  • Brilliant and keeps adding layers to the paths your content has enlightened. Bless you and your efforts to help all us pilgrims make (some) sense of it all. ❤
  • @jaimeXDgo
    I want to read Jung's work, but I doubt I'd manage to extract as much substance and beauty as you do. Thanks for your work. Each of your videos not only conveys great wisdom, but it also offers certain catharsis.
  • @threewishes777
    Last month I dreamed I was going to die in my 50 of bone cancer. I was little shock little sad in that moment but quickly spoke "there is no more time left and it's okay. The dream ends there. I'm 40 now and if I get cancer I won't fight it. I'll accept it. I had good life but now in 2024 I find myself empty and with no energy 😅
  • @marywright4934
    Some channelings are expressing unconditional love and how important we are as an individual and in groups as we truly are all connected eternally and everything we do creates ripples like in water these energies dance together
  • @wizkidgamer9942
    Literally hours ago I was looking for and disappointed by the lack of new videos of yours. Now, lo and behold I am given the best of the best of your work. Thank you, so much, for everything that you do. Your work this past year has done much for me on my personal journey; truly you are doing God's work.
