Skeleton

A skeleton in a dream is a consistent symbol for death. If death has touched you in your waking life, a skeleton may represent it in your dream. Note how you feel about it in your dream, because reflects how you really feel about it in waking life. Seeing a skeleton during sleep can also be the product of a night terror, which occurs outside of REM sleep (when we dream.) As such, it’s not a dream symbol with any psychological meaning. It’s a sleep disorder. Other telling clues, the dream always occurs in the bedroom and generally within the first three hours of sleep. It is most common among children, who often grow out of it by their teens. For more information and a solution to make the skeletons go away, click here.
