Interpretations of 10 Common Dreams

There is a great deal of research in the field of dreams. There are theories about why we have dreams and what those dreams may symbolize in our lives. People experience an infinite number of dreams in their lifetime. There are, however, many dreams that are common to a large number of people. The following article is a collection of interpretations of dreams that are common to many people.

Falling

If you have dreams about falling, you may be feeling insecure or anxious about something in your life. This can include anything from declining performance at work or school to a failing relationship. Your lack of control over these issues is symbolized in the act of falling.

Nudity

If you dream about being naked in public, and ashamed or embarrassed of your nudity, you could be hiding something from people in your life but feel that these people can see right through your act or whatever it is you’re hiding. You may be going through life feeling like whatever it is you’re hiding or keeping from people, you are doing a poor job of it. The absence of your clothes symbolizes the absence of a good “front” you are trying to put up. On the contrary, for those of you who are not embarrassed or ashamed of your nudity, it is a symbol that you are proud, carefree, and honest.

Losing Teeth

Many people often dream about their teeth falling out. A great deal of research has been done in this dream field. Some say the falling out or crumbling of teeth could mean that you are feeling unattractive or self-conscious about your appearance. A second theory says that you may be feeling worried or anxious about something, perhaps an exam or presentation, and the falling out of your teeth symbolizes an over-exaggeration about your anxiety. Another theory suggests that because teeth are used to chew, bite, and gnaw, they can be regarded as a representation of power. Therefore, the falling out of your teeth could symbolize that you are feeling powerless and ignored in your life, due to reasons such as lack of assertiveness.

Kidnapping

If you dream you are being kidnapped, you may not have control over your life. Somebody or something in your life may have control of you.

Going Blind

Dreaming about going blind signifies that you are not seeing the truth for what it is. Whether you are ignorant or closed-minded, you may not be willing to recognize a problem that may exist in your life.
