To attend in unknown funeral signifies, that in the future you may get something new, but firstly you have to get rid of the old one (for example: old relation, career, habits etc.)

Dreaming of funeral of still living persons (father, mother, sister, brother, well known person, relative, husband, wife etc.) – This dream is a sign that you have to separate or step aside from that person, from his pressure or influence. You have to start living independently and do not be afraid to express your opinion or thoughts. This symbol encourages you to make the first move to your independence, because unconscious shows that you are ready for this. For parents’ this dream shows that you have to release your children, they are grown enough to live their own life.

Dreaming of a funeral of already dead persons ( parents, grandparents etc.) – This dream displays that you still miss them, and you did not free them from your mind and thoughts. You missed their care, love and understanding and support.
