The Search for Closure: A Dream About a Deceased Best Friend

The Search for Closure: A Dream About a Deceased Best Friend
I dreamt about coming out of a room, and my dead best friend was standing there, wearing a light grey zipped jacket. I felt confused, but relieved. He told me to find his case file. The file of evidence at his death scene from suicide. There was a room full of files and drawers. His file was said to be on top of a tall brown shelf. But when I reached to find it, it was not there. I wanted to go through the drawers, but was told not needed to by a superior, which was supposedly my teacher. The drawer was about a bit lower than chest height with a lock on it. But the top drawer was slightly opened, with the key already in the lock. But I ignored it, exiting the room again. I saw him again, my dead best friend. He was waiting for me in the hallway. I don't remember what he looks like in my dream now that I think about it. But at that moment, I was sure it was him. Anyway, I saw him again and I talked beside him. I don't remember exactly what but I think I was telling him I couldnt find the file. I hugged him at the end, and that felt nice and reassuring. I remember there was a letter. A letter that I bound with tape. Inside was a letter he wrote to me before he died. There was apparently also small bits of evidence that was supposed to be in the file, though not all. This is the first time that I have dreamt about him as a person.

This dream may symbolize your subconscious desire to find closure and understanding surrounding the death of your best friend. The room and files represent the search for answers and evidence, while the superior figure could represent your own inner authority or guidance. The fact that the file is missing and the drawer is locked could suggest that you are struggling to find closure or access the truth about your friend’s death. The letter bound with tape could represent your own emotional barriers or reluctance to fully confront the situation. Seeing your friend again and hugging him could symbolize your longing for his presence and the comfort and reassurance it brings. Overall, this dream may be a reflection of your ongoing grief and the need to process and come to terms with your friend’s passing.
