Common Dream Meanings
Being Chased
What issues in daily life are giving you stress? It is best to identify and confront this dream-stalker, as this will help you to pin down what it is you are “running from” in daily life.
Loss or Lack of Teeth
This dream commonly refers to insecurities. These can be of many sorts. Consider that the teeth are deeply rooted, so you may have to “dig deep” to determine where these insecurities lie.
Nudity or Exposure
Did you bare your soul to someone? Do you feel someone may be starting to see you for who you are or, perhaps, looking too closely? This dream portrays your feelings around “being seen.”
Cheating
Dreams of a cheating partner usually do not mean they are cheating. Our dreams show us our own fears and insecurities. This dream might be the remaining hurt of past betrayal or a hint of jealousy.
Dream Sex
As Freud knew well, sex is a hot dream-topic. These dreams are often the result of longing to be closer to someone—usually not in a sexual way. Although, of course, some of these are just for pleasure.
Nightmares
While this is a whole genre, nightmares are representations of our fears— these come in many forms, but they all need to be confronted and revealed for the nightmares to resolve. Face Your Fears!
Falling
Often these dreams refer to anxiety and stress of keeping up with expectations. Consider how you can stand your ground. * This may result from “falling” asleep, as it often occurs just after dozing off.
Death
Whether it is your own death or that of a loved one, this usually represents change (in lifestyle, relationship, identity) or even longing. Do you feel a relationship has “died,” or does it just need rekindling?
Car Problems
In dreams, the car is your movement in life—progressions, setbacks, bumps in the road. Consider: In what way was your car acting up? Which direction were you going? Who was driving?
