I'm sorry for your loss.
I dreamed my big extended family was being viscous. I mean, I went to look for a photograph that belonged to our family and it had been removed. I forget what the explanation was. My cousin’s wife put her arm around me and I remember trying to hold back tears because I didn’t want to look like I was crying in public or in response to anything they did.
Dream transition to l: I got in trouble in spraying a girl with a water-pistol in school in self-defense. I forget what she did to me. It was a really large high school as you see in movies, unlike mine.
I made the mistake of asking her if she wanted to see who took two routes to get to the principal’s office first.
Now it’s coming back: she had squirted my face with mustard and as I climbed the stairs to the office, my lips started to burn, but I was trying to keep what she did intact.
I asked some guy who passed me—a lot of people were passing me—if he’d be a witness, but he ignored me.
Some guy tried to pick me up on the stairs, but I don’t think he was serious. He said something I can’t recall like, can I see you after the principal’s office, wanna see who gets there first.
But I at once knew from his smirk he was full of shit and at once felt vulnerable, so I kept moving.
It was really so different from my true life experience but probably has some wisdom to glean.
EDIT: I try to write the dreams without any editorializing on my part, but (1) it does seem funny to cry over a photo to me (2) it doesn’t seem like something I’d do to make the mistake of telling the girl I was reporting her. Although admittedly at times I’ve been rather naive that way.
Has anyone died in their dreams?
yeah, one time I put a gun under my chin and shot myself

Damn, did you awaken with a start? Any lingering emotions?

Yeah, but I didn't stay dead.
Why and how'd you die?

Succumbed to Vampirism.
It was basically a case where a large group of classmates were all being taken one by one by our own, and I was one of the victims in the middle of the story. Instead of being like "Oh I'm a vampire now, cool" it was more like having a predatory hunger devour people I'd rather not be going after... first. It was a case of being stuck watching myself in horror while feeling the things I didn't want to do happening.
Childhood dreams like that one were a lot more structured compared to later stuff.
