I have had a recurring dream of different deceased family and friends being alive in their coffin and going back to sleep. My first thought each time is Gee, they’re going to be buried alive. Should I look for meaning in this?
 
Try to forget the dream. Dreams are dreams, and yes, sometimes they may come true, but that has very little to do with the fact that someone had a nightly “vision”. If you are troubled, speak with your priest.
 
It could be nothing or it could be a sign form El. I would think it is a sign saying your family and friends are alive with God but are still waiting for the ressurection
 
Consider Ecclesiasticus/ Sirach Chapter 34
Code: 
Vain and deceptive hopes are for the foolish, and dreams lend wings to fools.
2 As well clutch at shadows and chase the wind as put any faith in dreams.

3 Dreams are no different from mirrors; confronting a face, the reflection of that face.

4 What can be cleansed by uncleanness, what can be verified by falsehood?

5 Divinations, auguries and dreams are nonsense, like the fantasies of a pregnant woman.

6 Unless sent as emissaries from the Most High, do not give them a thought;

7 for dreams have led many astray, and those who relied on them have come to grief.

8 Fulfilling the Law requires no such falsehood, and wisdom is perfected in veracity.

You do not need to look for meanings in dreams.

Many times our dreams are connected to our worries. (They are not “messages” about the future or past.)

For example: often times things that “go wrong” in our dreams are really about us being concerned about not having control in some area of our lives… areas that seem to have no logical connection to the loss of control in the dream.

Some people have learned how to “change” their dreams while dreaming - something that can be helpful in disturbing or reoccuring dreams.

May God give you peace - peace in your sleep and peace throughout your day.

The persons may be in purgatory and desire your prayers.

There are two approaches to dreams: the literal meanings, and forgetting.

My brother dreams about zombies, a hospital, and his wife and her parents dying. A variable dream.
 
Thank you all for your insightful responses. I will continue to pray for their holy souls and go on. You all have helped me to not dwell on these dreams. Again, thank you for the prayers and sound advice. God bless.
