A coffin, as stated above, has immense symbolic meaning, but it also only really has one interpretation. You're not going to be thinking about coffins if you have a yearning to go outside and play and you're not going to be thinking about coffins if you have this crazy desire to conquer all of your inner demons. No, you will be thinking about a coffin if you have been thinking about death and this is really the only possible reason that a coffin would come to mind for you.
If you have a dream in which you see a coffin this could be because you've been worried about a particular family member. All you can do is think about their possible passing away and what you can do to prevent it, if anything. You might not even be thinking about preventative measures at this point. Maybe the doctor has told you that it is too late to save them and there is nothing you can do. In this case this is what you would be thinking about too, which would lead to a series of dark thoughts indeed.
Obviously the meaning of this kind of dream will become even clearer if you can actually see the face of the person in the coffin. When it is someone that you know good and well and they happen to be dying in real life or wasting away, then this is who it correlates to. If you see a coffin and it is closed then it will be hard to really tell who it applies to unless you have a good idea of it already. Sometimes though, it doesn't have to be someone who is dying in real life, just someone who you are worried about. If you're particularly worried about the health of any of you family members then it might not be so odd to see a coffin in your dreams.
If you see yourself in a coffin, this means that you are considering your own mortality. As morbid as it might seem in the dream, what this really means is that you have just been thinking about the nature of life and what it means to be alive. You might not be actually worried about dying any time soon. After all you're probably young and spry. But it does mean that you have just been thinking about the way that life and death work together, which is only natural, given your place in society.
If you have a dream in which you are in a coffin though this could also mean that you really are worried about dying. Perhaps it might be best for you to cut down on the fatty foods, eat more healthily, exercise more, and quit any habits like drinking and smoking. This is the key to making sure that you get healthy enough so that you're not always worried about yourself dying.
A coffin has a lot to do with death. In fact the only thing that it has to do with is death. When you see a coffin it could mean that you have been thinking about death like crazy, however sometimes death symbols aren't actually so morbid. Sometimes to dream about death just means you are thinking about ending something. Sometimes the end of a thing can be bad too, but if it's the end of a small project then your dream doesn't have to have such a bad meaning, does it?
Dreaming of a coffin symbolizes poor health in agriculture, inescapable debt for businessmen, and sorrow, including unhappy relationships and loss. Own coffin suggests personal defeat and family grief.
Expanded Interpretation of the Coffin Dream Symbol: The symbolism of a coffin in dreams is imbued with the sobering themes of mortality, ending, and deep-seated fears. To dream of a coffin typically evokes feelings of unease, as it confronts the dreamer with reflections of loss and the inevitable conclusions in various spheres of life. In dreams, a coffin can represent not only physical death but metaphorical death—such as the death of ideas, relationships, or phases.
For farmers, dreaming of a coffin can be a striking portent of hardship, with imagery of withered crops and gaunt livestock alluding to struggles against uncontrollable forces leading to potential famine or financial ruin. Those in the business realm who experience such dreams could be receiving a subconscious warning about financial strain and debts accumulating beyond control, an admonition that fiscal vigilance and strategic planning are needed.
For the youth, disturbing as it is, a coffin may foreshadow strife both romantic and familial - signaling bonds strained to breaking points or the literal loss of someone dear. It denotes a phase in life where innocence meets the bitter reality of life's impermanence and the grief that ensues.
To witness one's own coffin in the dreamscape is to come face-to-face with the prospect of self-defeat and intimate sorrow. It can highlight a fear of failing in business endeavors or experiencing profound disappointment within the home. This dream symbol reflects a deep-seated anxiety about not being able to meet obligations or protect that which is held dear.
A dream in which a coffin moves by itself weaves a tapestry of complex dualities, where sickness meets nuptials; joy exists alongside despair. Here, life's most contrasting experiences march side by side, suggesting that the dreamer may soon encounter a time of turbulent emotions and transformation.
Seeing oneself as a corpse within a coffin is a stark representation of feeling trapped or constrained. It signals that even the most valiant and well-intentioned efforts risk being thwarted, leading to dishonor or humiliation. This dream might be a graphic metaphor for powerlessness or defeat in a significant area of life.
Dreaming of sitting atop a moving coffin in a hearse speaks to the gravity of illness, either personal or within someone's close circle. It can also mean quarrels, particularly with romantic or potential partners, hinting at a need for self-reflection and attention to one's actions and their consequences.
Example of a Typical Dream with a Coffin and Interpretation: Imagine dreaming of attending a funeral with no knowledge of who has passed. You approach the open coffin and are shocked to discover it's empty. As you ponder the meaning, the coffin lid suddenly slams shut. In waking life, this could symbolize a grounding fear of the unknown or the anxiety of an unanticipated loss. The empty coffin might represent projects or relationships you fear will become vacant or fail to materialize. The closing lid may signify that a window of opportunity is closing or that a period of your life is coming to an unforeseen end, prompting you to take action before it's too late and to reconcile with unfinished business or unexpressed emotions.

In the last 6 years my dreams have become confusing. I think. I have always and frequently had de javu moments. However, now my dreams are in question. I can clearly remember my dreams and in reality when I believe I’m having a deja vu moment, I’m not sure if it’s my dream or what. Now a few nights ago I dreamt of myself. And I was seeing me in a coffin. I’m terrified of getting old and I don’t want to die. Are premonitions real thing? Is dj vu a real thing?

Dreamed of a coffin being carried by dark creatures and I am in the church. The creatures are staring at me and asking me to open the coffin. When I open, I see two people in the coffin. first I see my uncle and then my father! they are meant by a black cloud. one of the creatures that carried the coffin tells me i should not be afraid but, i know what i am to do and point to the ground and there i see sand the same sand that is by the sea. I take it up and rub it in the bodies and they wake up and smile. i wake up bad what does this mean and how do i get my fetus so much?

I was excited to see two coffins in my dream. They were in a tomb and encased buried treasures. Those interpretations are sort of narrow-minded and do not speak for all. Death represents finalities in one's life. You can not make room for the new, until release the old

Okay okay. I think I have issues with this explanation about coffins. Just because you've seen a coffin in your dream doesnt mean that youre thinking about death at all or worried about someone.
It could be related to your waking hours, maybe youre feeling vulnerable in your waking life, maybe there's something youre worried about that it makes you feel anxious. Thats what it usually represents.
Some of the parts are alright but mostly of these things just sound so obvious. "Oh you dreamed of a coffin? You probably think you're gonna die or someone else will!"
It doesnt really acknowledge much of the waking life environments or transitions. Also death dreams doesnt mean someone is actually gonna pass away, it just means change or renewing things.
The explanation on this page in particular doesnt impress me, really.

Saw a strange dream for the first time. I'm young and healthy never thinking about death or have not been to a graveyard for a long time. I had never ever read or heard of the strange practice which I was made to undertake in my dream. I saw that I'm in a seminary where my final test is taking place. I saw that I was laid on top of a closed coffin said to contain someone who died and was to be buried, didn't saw the face or body nor the people assembled, no persons who made me lie on the coffin, not even a graveyard. I could feel only the coffin over which I was forcefully laid by some people. And I was told to pray till the evil spirit which caused death to the person in the coffin will come out and I will be thrown away. I started praying in the dream and someone told keep on praying as the evil spirit are shouting, though I was lying over the coffin but couldn't hear any voice. I kept on praying and someone again whispered in my ear that "yes, it's final, keep praying as the evil spirits are banging the coffin." And then I suddenly awoke and it was midnight as I had slept only two hours before. Please explain if someone has any clue. My email id kksinghips@gmail.com

I saw my family in the living room crying. My brother in laws parents were there next to my sister and a coffin in the front, they didn't want to tell me anything when I asked them "who is in the coffin." I thought they were ignoring me. I thought my brother in law died and that was the reason for his parents being there. But, the house door opened and my brother in law came in... I was confused... They opened the coffin I took a look and it was me in it... What does that mean????

This dream has been with me all day.
