Ian Wallace Interpretation:
When you dream, a grave symbolizes a situation in which you can prepare the ground for a major transformation of your current situation. A funeral represents your opportunity to acknowledge a once vital aspect of your past, so that you can peacefully lay it to rest, finding closure before moving forward. What aspects of your past do you need to respectfully lay to rest so that you can move on in life? Take the time to acknowledge the aspects of your past that are no longer a vital part of your current situation. We need to acknowledge the importance of what we can achieve in the future as well as to honour what we have achieved in the past. It can be tempting to dwell in the past and rest on our laurels, but that can limit our freedom to explore new opportunities for personal growth. While official burial ceremonies symbolize the process of respectfully moving on from past achievements, burying a body without official permission in a dream is often about reviving something of significance to you rather than releasing yourself from it.
