The literature on dreams and death is reviewed along three lines of interest: dreams as they relate to fear of death, dreams as they relate to bereavement, and dreams as they relate to dying. It is suggested that dreams can broaden our understanding of the human response to death and provide therapeutic tools when that response becomes complicated. Theoretical implications and possible areas of future research are also discussed
