The Legacy of Death: A Biblical Perspective on a Dream

The Legacy of Death: A Biblical Perspective on a Dream
lately there has been a theme of death and I think I have been subconsciously thinking about death, and what mine would be like and the legacy I would leave behind, and in my dream, I was having a conversation with some people in a semi-arid area, with lots of sand forming dunes but it was wet sand, and the only familiar face was my professor who I was negotiating with on how I would want to die as I remember he talked on behalf of the lecturers from my university when my other professor died, so he had lots of money with him in cash and told me I shouldn't be buried bare but with money, interestingly I had a shovel and on that ground I was picking the best place for my grave. I finally found one, and dug it really deep, until it was very dark inside and I was lying there, waiting for my death and I could see and hear him from above the light of the small hole above. It was strange waiting to die in that darkness. then I woke up.
