Common Dreams

Common dreams

Some of the most common dreams that many people have are naked, teeth, chasing, flying, fallings, and exams. Out of all of them, falling is the most common type of dream. Many people will wake up disturbed by their dream. Dreams of falling, being naked, losing teeth, and other dreams are common fears of most people and that is why many people will have the same type of dream.

It is fascinating that people of all cultures can have the same dreams. It is funny how some people can be racist, but we all share the same dreams, as well as, fears. Some psychologists have argued that having a common dream is our link to the human race. Although, it has been proved that practically every human shares common concerns, hopes, fears, battles, and other personal issues. However, why do we dream about all these silly things?

When it comes to being naked, many people see nudity as a symbol. You maybe mortified in your dream, but that is because you have just shown vulnerability. It could also mean that you are hiding something that you will want to reveal to your dearest friends. Metaphorically, clothes are concealment. Clothes hide the identity of a person. When you are dreaming about being naked, it is simply because you want the world to know who you really are. You want to be honest and open.

When you dream of being chased you are displaying a feeling of anxiety. This is the way we respond to pressure and to anxiety; we run as far away from the situation as possible. Running is part of your fight or flight response.

Many people do not have the courage to stand up to someone or to tell their true feelings, so they run away from the situation. Usually you are trying to outwit the chaser, but ask yourself, who is chasing you. You may just be chasing yourself. This can be your own feeling of anger, jealousy, fear, or maybe even love. Feelings that you do not want to feel, but you cannot help yourself. In addition, these feelings are injected by the media.

The reasons why we dream about our teeth falling out are that the teeth are a direct reflection of anxiety over your appearance or the way others perceive you. Looks are praised in society and your teeth are the focus points. When you dream of losing your teeth, it is because you fear that your looks are fading.

You may also be scared about making a fool out of yourself in public or that you lack some power in your life. Flying is having the freedom and craziness of being able to fly. It gives the dreamer a sense that they are powerful and energized and it boasted the self esteem, however, falling can be followed by the flying. If you dream of falling it is because you have just lost control of your life. Your life is spinning out of control and you have no idea why.
