I dreamed someone called me to come and carry my late brother, who died five years ago. I rushed, put him inside a car, and started back toward the village. Some people blocked the road and tried to send me down a different one. I stopped and told them my brother died long ago, and that they should make way so I could take the body to another village, the one connected to a lady who is senior to my uncle, because that is where the body belongs. My brother has already died, I told them. He cannot die a second time. Then I woke up.

Our reading. One way to read it, the dream hands him one last responsibility for his brother, and he carries it out with care, down to arguing strangers into letting him pass. What he says on the road is the heart of the dream: his brother cannot die a second time. That is grief and acceptance arriving in the same sentence. Dreams about carrying someone who has died often work like unfinished business. The mind sets a task with an end to it, and finishing the drive becomes a way of finishing something in the dreamer too.
