Have you ever experienced flying, being late or falling in a dream? Do you ever dream about death? A baby? Isn’t it disturbing to be caught naked in a dream? Or unable to find a toilet? Well, these dreams are actually quite common among us all. In this video, we have compiled a list of common dreams and their meanings. From roads to out of control vehicles, to falling teeth. We’ve got them all covered here.
Here are some amazing facts about dreams! Every night during sleep, we experience around five dream episodes. Each of these can last between 15 and 40 minutes. Our dreams tend to be more vivid during REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement sleep). In this REM stage, we can have lucid dreaming. But, we can also experience nightmares and sleep paralysis (disease or medical condition). Even strange sleep disorders. But, some people suffer from sleep walking or nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder (NS-RED). People with this sleep disorder eat while they are asleep! There also the wet dreams. They can be embarrassing, but they are completely natural.
What do dreams mean?
Experts believe that our adventures during sleep reflect who we are. They also reflect our deeper needs and beliefs. Modern scientists and psychologists refer to dreams and their meanings as unsolved mysteries. While some theories explain déjà vu as precognitive dreams. There are many different dreams. But, there are some common dreams that we all seem to be having from time to time.
These events we experience during sleep may have strange contexts in our subconscious. But, they can reflect or signify actual events in our waking lives. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most common dreams and their meanings. For example, sex dreams don’t necessary mean that we are yearning for physical union. Instead, they can suggest that we want a psychological connection. Another example is having a cheating partner in a dream. This could indicate that our partner doesn’t pay enough attention to us. But, it could also suggest that we are having some trust issues.
As you can see, the definitions of dreams are not so black and white. These messages of the subconscious can actually be rather complicated. Dream symbols are usually presented in a metaphoric fashion. Also, dream interpretations are not universal definitions. And your unconscious will not spell out the meanings for you either. It’s a task for your conscious mind to solve! It’s also important to know, that not every single element of your dream has an unconscious meaning. Sometimes, it’s plain background noise, helping to tie it all together.
You can still learn to identify the meaning of dreams. You can start a dream journal to pinpoint the key dream images and symbols. It’s advised to write in the present tense as if you are reliving those experiences. Mark any aspects that instinctively draw your attention. Then, try to decode the meanings behind those symbols. This video sheds some light onto 15 of the most common dreams and their meanings. Which is a good start, if you are new to this. You can also find more detailed dream interpretations in an online dream dictionary.
