If, in your dream, you are attending a cheerful, fun occasion such as a party, festival or dance and feel intensely and inappropriately sad, this may indicate your need to turn away from distractions and confront your sense of life.
Similarly, if you experience inappropriate happiness or elation at a dream funeral or death, this might point to your being in a state of denial in order to protect yourself from the reality of a personal loss.
