We’re all familiar with the dream of someone disappearing, but what does it mean when this happens? Do you still like them, or do you not want to see them anymore? Or maybe it means that they are going away.
Oh, you’re having a dream about someone disappearing?
Does this mean they’re dead? Or missing? Or leaving you behind?
The short answer is: it depends. But we can help you figure out what the dream means for sure!
The first thing to do is look at the context of the dream—what were you doing when they disappeared? Where were you? What was going on around you? Who else was there, and how did they react?
Maybe it was just a brief thought that popped into your head: “Oh no! I can’t believe [person] has disappeared!” Maybe it was more of an extended scene: “It’s been three days since [person] has disappeared.” Or maybe it was something in between.
If the disappearance was very brief, or not really that important to the rest of the dream—for example if it happened in passing, or if everyone else seemed fine with their disappearance—then chances are that this isn’t anything to worry about. Dreams like this are often just a way for us to process our own feelings about someone leaving us/not being around anymore. They might also be tied up with how we feel about change in general, even if we don’t realize it right away.
To dream that of person or object disappearing before your eyes reflects feelings of not having given sufficient attention to an aspects of yourself or your life. You may feel you haven’t had enough time to get acquainted with a person or situation. An opportunity has passed by too quickly.
Have you lost touch with some aspect of yourself? Is your lover, friend, or opportunity disappearing? Are you afraid or insecure about losing a relationship? Do you fear being alone? You may need to work on your self-esteem.
Alternatively, a disappearing person or object may reflect your fading interest in a person or situation.
To dream that you are disappearing from others may represent feelings of being overlooked or being irrelevant. You may feel that you are not being noticed or recognized. Alternatively, the dream may be a sign that you are withdrawing from a relationship or wanting attention.
If it was your acquaintance who went missing, this dream speaks of misunderstandings between you and problems in your relations.
To see how a person disappeared in a dream means: the sleeper feels discontent towards himself, his capabilities or the place he occupies.
If someone close to you is missing in a dream, this means you will lose something important. This is not necessarily something material, you can also lose your patronage or lose the necessary connections.
