Closing java swing window manually

I have a small game in which one window opening the other when the game over. I want to close only the game over window.

this.dispatchEvent(new WindowEvent(this, WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING));

But this closes the both windows. How to close only the second window?

It can be closed from the game over window itself by 

this.dispose();

or hidden by

this.setVisible(false);

You can also change the closing behavior with (assuming a JDialog where the default is HIDE_ON_CLOSE)

this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);

If you need to close it from the parent JFrame, dont use this, but instead target the object

gameOverDialog.dispose();
