What does it mean to dream of dead animals?

Dreams about dead animals are often a way to express what’s going on in your life. If it is an animal that has been beaten up or decomposed, then this reflects how bad things have gotten for you lately with regard to the problem at hand – whether it’s your job/relationship, etc.

If the dream is more symbolic, then it can be a way for you to confront your fears or anxieties. This may require some dream interpretation before you really understand what this dream means.

If you find yourself dreaming about dead animal carcasses then dream interpretation might suggest that there’s some unfinished business taking place within your mind/body connection. Consider asking these questions: “What am I holding onto? What do I want? Where would I like to go?”
