9 Popular Dreams And Their Meanings
Dreams are probably one of the best things that happens to human beings. For several years, man has been trying to study and analyze the meaning of dreams and has been successful to some extent. On an average, a person has a major dream every 90 minutes of sleeping. However, when a person wakes up, he/she tends to forget most of his/her dreams. But if there is this one particular dream that a person has been experiencing over and over again, then it definitely means something. The fact that the dream can be recalled after waking up simply means that it has a meaning attached to it. Check out the most common dreams that people experience and understand what they mean.
1. Flying up high
Growing wings and flying high must be every child’s wish. But literally dreaming about it all the time means something different. We are talking about getting dreams of flying up in the air without any kind of support. Such a dream can be really exciting or super scary. Some dreamers see themselves enjoying the ecstasy of flying into thin air, while others simply freak out with the fear of falling down. Either ways, flying represents power and authority. While some love power, there are others who freak out when they are given responsibility. It is just like some people love being important while others are too afraid to receive attention. If you see yourself flying happily, it means that you are the former kind. But if you find yourself scared, it means that you are like the latter.
2. Failing a test
Many dreamers state that they wake up with cold palms, on most nights, out of the fear that they have failed a test. One case is, you know the answer, but for some reason you aren’t able to write it down. The other case is, you are unable to reach on time for an examination. Either ways, you find yourself in anxiety and stress. This defines your state of mind at the moment. For students, it can be a sign of the anxiety caused due to studies. However, in the case of others, it suggests that you probably are finding yourself in a crucial situation where you have to take a tough decision. This is probably the reason why you are getting such a dream over and over again. It shows that the tough situation that you are put into is making your life no less than an examination.
3. Being lost
Many people complain about having a dream where they are lost in some forest, crowded place, maze or some weird building, and just can’t find their way out. Getting such kind of a dream over and over again shows that you are finding yourself lost even in reality. These feelings simply correspond to what you are feeling in your real life. It means that you are seriously confused about a very important decision that you have to take. It can also be a sign that you are unable to find a way out of some kind of mess you have found yourself into. Evaluate your own life and identify a solution for your real life problem.
4. Being trapped
Nobody likes to be trapped and unable to do what they want to do. So this kind of a dream can’t be a pleasant one anyway. This kind of a dream can be characterized by finding yourself into a cage, caught into a spider web, tied with chains, buried and suffocating or trapped into some cave. The story of Alice in Wonderland is an example of one such dream. This kind of a dream gives you the feeling of helplessness and fear. It means that you are finding yourself in a jeopardy in real life but you don’t know what to do about it.
5. Being chased by someone
To dream that you are being constantly chased by someone means that you are finding yourself under pressure in real life. In this kind of a dream, you may find yourself running away from some kind of an unidentified person. It just means that you are feeling insecure and feeling threatened by someone else. Or sometimes you may simply find yourself running away from a person whom you know. This person must be the one whom you are finding yourself endangered of or pressurized from. It can also be the case when you are feeling targeted or bullied by someone.
