Cleaning a dead body in a dream is a process of managing the residue of a completed cycle. When the brain engages with this imagery, it is often performing a cognitive sweep of what remains after a significant period of life or a particular phase of existence has concluded. This work helps the mind transition from the tension of recent events into a state of stillness.
The dreamer encounters the necessity of tending to what is no longer living to prepare for what follows. This labor is the way the mind clears away the remnants of what has finished to make room for new things. There is a weight to this labor, as it involves confronting the undeniable reality of loss or the end of a particular capacity. Accepting these endings through such a task provides a way to ground what has been lost.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
