Coffin

A coffin is symbolic of a person dying physically, mentally, and emotionally. A coffin can symbolize someone coming out of spiritual death into life in Christ, Eph. 2:5

In a dream, a coffin means a great wealth. If one sees himself hiding inside a coffin in a dream, it means fearing one’s enemy and that one is incapable of facing him, though this element in a dream also could mean salvation or escape from dangers that will follow. If one sees himself riding on top of a coffin in a dream, it means that either his name is mentioned in a will, or that he will face a dispute regarding an inheritance that will turn to his advantage. If one is given a coffin in a dream, it means that he is given knowledge, peacefulness and dignity. A coffin in a dream also represents stress and worries or a travelling vehicle. A miller’s flour mixing container which traditionally used to look like a coffin in a dream represents a just man or a man of knowledge and a true guide.

To see a dead person or a coffin is a common way of understanding how some aspect of you is 'passing away' or transforming. See Burial.
