To dream that you attend a wake, symbolizes your need to grieve or let go of something that has been close to you. It is also okay to seek the support of those around you to help you get through this difficult time. Alternatively, the dream suggests that it is time to celebrate the good attributes and positive qualities of someone who is no longer in your life. To dream that you are waking up in your dream, indicates that something is missing or lacking in your life. There is an aspect of your life that you are not utilizing to its fullest potential or are not recognizing your abilities. The dream is literally telling you to open your eyes and wake up!
