Burial
A burial in a dream — especially with sunshine on the procession — can, in the old books, paradoxically mark the good health of relations, the laying to rest of one thing making room for another. The dream tends to touch endings and the ceremony we give them, and to ask what we are putting to rest, and what lives on after.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for burial, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To attend the burial of a relative, if the sun is shining on the procession, is a sign of the good health of relations, and perhaps the happy marriage of some one of them is about to occur. But if rain and dismal weather prevails, sickness and bad news of the absent will soon come, and depressions in business circles will be felt
A burial where there are sad rites performed, or sorrowing faces, is indicative of adverse surroundings or their speedy approach.
