I dreamed that I died. [View all]

Went to bed late, just woke up. I'm still out of it. I wanted to document this dream in writing so I can bookmark it and look back on it in the future.

I was on a ladder, doing a roofing job.

I was laying the first course of shingles, and all of a sudden the ladder was 6 feet away from me, and I was hanging onto the gutter with my legs dangling. I started swinging my legs, trying to get back to the ladder.

My hands were getting fatigued trying to hang on, because the gutters had one of the gutter helmets on (not the screen type), and there was only enough space to get the very tips of my fingers in-between the helmet and the inside of the gutter to hang on. I could only get my fingertips in up to the first knuckle, so I basically had no grip. My fingernails were bleeding, and the blood was running down the white gutters.

I kept swinging my legs, and I was able to hook my right foot onto a ladder rung, but the ladder tipped and fell.

The next thing I know, I'm on my back on the ground, sleeping. I woke up and someone, I don't know who, was over me.

I said "Did I fall"?

They said yes.

Did I hit my head?

No, but there's a bruise on your neck.

Is there a blanket over me?

Yes.

Then, my estranged sibling's face was literally a half an inch from mine. They were looking into my eyes and they said "I'm sorry. I was wrong".

I said "NOW you tell me"?

My sibling's face disappeared and I was looking up into the clouds. There was a flash of lightening, or some kind of flash.

Then I died.

Any dream interpreters here?
