Absence
To grieve over the absence of any one in your dreams, denotes that repentance for some hasty action will be the means of securing you life-long friendships.
If you rejoice over the absence of friends, it denotes that you will soon be well rid of an enemy.
To dream that someone is absent, especially if you expect to find them, suggests that you are looking for something that is already lost to you.
Alternatively, you may be looking to fill a void.
