Dreamt I was murdered

[Sarian]

Been having lots of dreams lately, but most I can't recall much of, last night, however, I do recall this one:

I was walking up a road in a neighborhood I grew up in with a friend. Coming down the road was an old classmate looking disheveled and carrying a sack and rope and something in his hand (knife?) I knew at the moment I saw him, he was going to kill me. I remember trying to shield my friend and knowing I had just been murdered. I saw myself laying on the road. But then the dream shifts to me telling others how I was murdered and did not feel a thing, was as though in an instant I left my body. The people I was speaking to were all alive, which was weird and had lots of people in my dream I've not seen in awhile.

Any thoughts to the meaning of this dream? Thank you.
