Skeleton

A skeleton in a dream is a consistent symbol for death. If death has touched you in your waking life, a skeleton may represent it in your dream. Because feelings in dreams are never disguised, how you feel about it in your dream, is how you feel about what it represents in your waking life.

Seeing a skeleton during sleep can also be the product of a night terror, which occurs outside of REM sleep (when we dream.)  Night terrors have no psychological meaning; they are a physiological sleep disorder. Other telling clues, this "occurence during sleep" always takes place in the bedroom and generally within the first three hours of sleep. It is most common among children, who often grow out of it by their teens. For more information and a solution to make those skeletons go away, click here.
