Even though the purpose and content of dreams are not fully understood, they have been a topic of not only philosophical interest, but scientific and religious interest throughout recorded history also. A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Below we have listed for you some explanations of the most common dreams people dream of. Hope these will help you understand yourself better.

The teeth falling out

Anxieties about your appearance and struggling to know how others perceive you, get reflected by dreams about your teeth. Dreams as such can come as a result of a fear of rejection, embarrassment or feeling unattractive. We use teeth to bite, tear and chew. That’s why dreams about losing your teeth mean you may be experiencing self-confidence issues.

Being Chased

If you dream about being chased think of things in your real life from which you might be trying to avoid or run away from. These things or emotions you are not confronting probably cause you fear or anxiety, but running away it’s only going to make it worse. As Sigmund Freud said: Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.

Unable to find a toilet

If you are struggling to express yourself or feel like you are not getting the deserved treatment from a certain person, then you can experience such dreams.
Dreaming about not being able to find a toilet means that you are lacking time for personal issues as maybe you are putting others needs before yours.

Dreaming of being unprepared for an exam

The most common cause for dreams like this is a stress factor. They can be so intensely experienced that it can be hard to get back to reality from the emotions of failing the test. It is one of the most common dreams since 1 in 5 people will experience it during their lives.

Dreams about flying

If you are flying in your dream but having a tough time doing it, the explanation might be that someone or something is stopping you from moving to higher goals you have set for yourself. If you struggle to fly implies that you are lacking confidence in yourself.

Falling

If you’re falling in your dream and being overcome with fear, it signifies insecurity and anxiety about a certain situation, mostly if you have failed at doing something in your waking life which probably is a very dear aspect of your life. On the other hand, if you are enjoying falling, that means you are not afraid of changes and you are ready to embrace the beauty of it. If you are falling into water, that means you have very strong feelings for someone.

Driving out of control

Human beings are control freaks. If you dream about driving out of control, it could notify you that you are not taking control over a situation or maybe trying to control it too hard. It can also be a sign of a current habit which is bad for you and can become a long-term problem in the future.

Pregnancy

Dreaming of being pregnant indicates that a new idea has recently popped into your mind. It can also mean that the dreamer is having problems. It might symbolize aspects of yourself or your personal life that are growing and developing.

Being late

If you have been overwhelming yourself with tasks and activities more than ever, then dreams of being late are maybe trying to alert you to not be this hard on yourself. But on the other hand, it can also mean you might be struggling to keep a promise you cannot.

Cheating your partner or being cheated on

Lacking trust in a romantic relationship tends to spark these kinds of dreams. When your partner is spending too much time on activities which don’t include you, dreams of being cheated on can be present. Meanwhile, if you are not being contented or fulfilled in your relationship, you can have dreams of cheating on your partner.

Meeting celebrities

Dreaming about a celebrity means that you are seeking to find ways to be inspired in your waking life. Pay attention to what celebrity you dream of because based on their talents, that’s the virtue you appreciate in others and trying to find a way to connect with some talents of yours which you might have.

Finding an unused room

Outlooks and abilities that you have realized about yourself are linked to finding new rooms in your dreams. Pay attention to the color the room walls are painted with. Different colors reveal different aspects of your interpersonal relationship.
