Dead bodies or corpses in the dream world oftentimes reflect your emotional state. As such, you could be anticipating uncertainties and difficulties in your future. Perhaps you feel like the deal is not going to fly or it would not be as lucrative investment as you initially thought.

There is a likelihood that you think something is amiss in this deal and your subconscious is sending your doubts to the fore by painting this grim scenario in your dream vision.
