What does it mean when you dream of someones death?

A dream about someone faking death indicates that the dreamer's subconscious is aware of someone in the dreamer's life who is not what they seem to be. Someone is faking it. In the language of dreams, this person could be the dreamer, or some aspect of the dreamer's self.

For example, perhaps the dreamer is a writer who has not finished a manuscript because of writer's block (frustrated inability to write.) The subconscious might use this dream to inform the dreamer of self-deception.
