To see in a dream that one has died and been buried indicates a journey to a distant place.

To be placed in a grave alive in a dream signifies suffering oppression, and sometimes becoming a householder; if earth is thrown over one, it signifies wealth.

To see a living person burying another living person in a dream is interpreted as deceit; the dead burying the dead is interpreted as the strengthening of relations among relatives.

Ibn Sîrîn: To see oneself buried after one’s death in a dream indicates that one will undertake a long journey and be left without money. If one sees oneself buried alive and knows the person who buried him, it indicates that this person will attack him, oppress him, imprison him, or wrong him. If he dies in his grave after being buried, it indicates that he may die because of these troubles; if he survives these troubles, it indicates that he will be delivered from fear, imprisonment, or oppression. To see another person take him to the edge of the grave indicates that this person will lead him to death, but that his name will be praised after his death. If the other person places him in a coffin, it indicates that he will move to a new house.

If he fills earth over him, it indicates that he will be overwhelmed with wealth in an amount corresponding to the quantity of earth cast over him.

Being buried alive indicates imprisonment, being despised by people, or a severe punishment from which others will take heed. If a learned or wise person is seen buried alive in his own house, or brought out alive, it indicates that one will inherit his knowledge, wisdom, and rank.

To see a dead person burying him alive indicates unpaid debts, or that he will be imprisoned for failing to pay his debts, or that his security will not be accepted. To bury a dead person twice indicates concealing his mistakes.

To see a dead person burying another dead person may indicate unity, the cleansing of hearts, love and friendship among relatives, or imprisonment, marriage, illness, a trust, or standing surety for a loan. To see oneself buried after death in a dream indicates that one must repent; to see oneself walking alive after being buried indicates that one may repent again. Allah knows best.

It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.

Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.

In the interpretation, the themes of home and environment, emotional life, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
