It is established that Jof has some kind of spiritual insight earlier in the film - he sees Mary and baby Jesus, and then sees Block playing chess with death, so that may explain why he sees the death dance and his wife can’t. Thanks for taking the time to get in touch.

very common path for a monk... not surprising at all.
