Thread: Recurring dream as a child

This is probably something that is not posted here often, but I am posting here to better understand a recurring dream I had as a child. I was probably 5 or 6 years old when I had this dream .. I am 28 now so you can imagine that my recollection of my life around the time I had this dream is not very good. However, the dream is very clear after all these years and I was hoping someone could help me shed some light on it.

I probably had this dream 10 times. I was standing at the end of a cul-de-sac neighboorhood with single family homes and people where outside, acting normal. At the end of the cul-de-sac was an open coffin just sitting there. The coffin reminded me a space ship for some reason.. I can't say that it WAS a space ship but it did not look like a normal coffin. I looked down into the coffin and I was looking at my own corpse. I had the dream when I was 5 or 6 as I mentioned earlier and my corpse was that age, as well as my alive self in the dream. There was also a man standing next to me looking at my dead body but I did not recognize him by name in the dream, although I would assume he was familiar to me because I was not scared. I also did not get scared by seeing my dead body.... I was very relaxed even though I knew it was me in the coffin.

Anyone have any way to help me understand this? Thanks...
