Weird Dream

Last night I dreamt that I was at a gathering with my friends and I went home ahead of everyone. The following day, I woke up to find out the one of my friends died after I went home. Apparently this friend decided to go back to the office and since the door was locked jumped from the window of a building perpendicular to the office building on the same level as the balcony above the main door. There was a sort of flashback that that friend had successfully done this before however on that particular attempt she failed and died. Throughout my dream I was puzzling out how she could have died since both window and balcony were on the second level only. I dreamt of looking out the window towards the balcony and it seemed so far. On the ground I also looked at the distance between the window and the balcony and it seemed so far apart, yet not so high.

In the dream, I spent an afternoon waiting in line, inside a wooden building, to see the remains of my friend. On my turn, I can't look directly to the casket but I was able to see a blurry brown casket with glass top and open top cover.

Eventually, my friend's ghost began to appear to me and we seem to be hiding from everyone else. We were in a room and we kept blocking the windows to keep people from seeing inside.

There was one point in my dream that I entered a large room/church and there were lots of caskets. I can barely make my way through them to get to the back of the room/church. I even bumped a couple of caskets on the way. At the back of the room, there were other onlookers and I asked a woman with a face that I could not recognize what happened and how come there are so many caskets. She turned to me and said that there are only three dead people and the rest of the caskets are empty. I lifted the cover of a casket in front of me, enough just to peek in and see that the casket was indeed empty. It was a wooden casket and the inside was without any lining or cushion customarily seen on caskets during a wake. The casket was positioned vertically in front of me with a slight angle to the right.

I also remember looking out a window towards a street and people were passing by but the end of the street was being blocked and people were getting confused. Then I seemed to be walking on a wide street and people were gathering at the center. The street was cobbled.

Hmmm... all the streets on my dream were not paved, it was either bricked or cobbled. The buildings too were not concrete. The windows were glass. Except for the room/church with caskets, the other rooms were made of wood. There were two friends in my dream but they sort of were one. The first one died but the ghost was my second friend.
