Dreams that feature farewells or final goodbyes tend to have the same significance as dreams of bereavement.
If you were saying goodbye to someone in your dream, ask yourself if that relationship is coming to an end, at risk of coming to an end or whether you need to say goodbye to some aspect of your life that you connect with that person. Dreams in which a loved one recedes into the distance and eventually disappears from sight suggest feelings of grief mixed with resentment. On the other hand, dreams in which a loved one waves goodbye happily from a distance suggest you are reconciling yourself to the reality of your loss.
