Dreaming about writing an obituary signifies a way of commemorating a person’s life, which represents your deepest feelings and beliefs about the person in the obituary. It is your way of remembering their life, highlights and important accomplishments while they were alive.
If you are reading an obituary in a dream, it could mean that you are still attached to person in the obituary. It may even refer to some sort of connection with your loved ones either in spirit or from beyond the grave.
