You are in your backyard chilling out in the pleasant nature, sipping your favorite drink, and watching your favorite show on Netflix. You just heard a loud pounding on your doorbell and went with an angry red face to see who was it pounding so hard outside. As soon as you went to the main room and opened the door, you did not find anyone outside. You have checked everywhere and still did not find anyone nearby or around the area. You are bewildered by what just happened a few seconds ago and anyhow manage to ignore it. Just then you heard someone groaning and giggling behind you, as you turn! you saw a shadow of a 5-year-old boy running away from you. You tried to follow him for a distance but you did not see anyone nearby. You tried to ignore it but as you turn and glanced a look at the rooftop ceiling you saw something crawling on the wall looking very scary which made you wake up from your sleep.
This is an example of a typical dream theme where people are able to see a different world that is unseen and unknown to most of the population today. Many people claim that these worlds do exist and your soul travels every day to different dimensions through dreams. There are a lot of theories that exist based on dreams but, our brain is very complex and we can only guess at the limits of its function.
There are many different types of dream themes we dream about every day and they actually have deep meanings, interpretations, and experiences. Some of the common dream themes include:
1. Being Chased
Some people experience that they are being chased by someone or something in their dreams. Although these are not very common dreams, they do reflect the inner feelings of the person. In a study of more than 1,000 college students, it was found that about 60% of people reported dreams of being chased.
Being chased in dreams explain that you are running from the problems that are confronting and resolving in your life. These dreams are often related to how you are feeling about the difficult part of your life that you are not paying attention to. Perhaps you are facing a stressful event, an unrecognized trauma, or something you fear in your life.
2. Falling
There are various kinds of falling dreams, but one of the most common types of falling dreams is falling from a terrifying plunge at the edge of a cliff. This dream often indicates that you are experiencing a loss of control that you are feeling in waking life.
This dream could also signal a metaphorical warning or a loss of support that your conscious needs are showing to you. Some researchers also believe that falling dreams can signal loss of power, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed in your life.
3. Flying
Flying dreams are the second most common dreams that were reported by college students in the survey. Throughout history, humans have imagined being able to fly and soar high with the birds above. These dreams indicate that you are feeling that you have freedom and independence.
But according to a few psychologists dreams about flying too close to the sun and perishing it signs a warning from the person’s inflated self that they are flying too high and risking a fall.
4. Being Naked
Dreams of being naked in public often make you feel embarrassed, exposed, or humiliated. They mean that you are afraid, vulnerable, and unprotected. On the other hand, dreams of being naked suggest that you have the self-confidence to let the world see you as how you are. And they also signify that you have nothing to hide.
5. Death
Many people fear experiencing death or seeing their loved ones die in their dream and some people see it as a bad sign. An approach suggests that when you dream of dead, it signifies that you are dreaming about an aspect of yourself. Death is not always a sign of something bad, but it may represent the end of something and move on to something new both culturally and personally.
When you dream of dying someone, it’s necessary to consider what the person represents to you. What part of yourself fears losing them or what aspect of yourself is coming to end and leading you towards a new beginning. This theme brings you both metaphoric and literal resonance.
6. Water
Seeing water in a dream has something important to communicate. We depend on water for life our emotions flow through our tears, and some religious traditions use water in rituals as a sign of purification. In the same way, water can appear many forms in dreams each carrying a particular meaning.
When you dream of water it might signify that you are being immersed in your deeper feelings, showing a tidal way of emotion, perhaps a place where your waking life is stagnant or your own soul recognizing a fresh start.
7. Sex
When you dream of having sex with someone in your dream, it could mean that you harbor a secret desire for them. But it’s not always the case every time. When you dream of having sex with a celebrity, a person of authority, or any particular person it could mean that they personify a quality that you would like to integrate into your personality. And sometimes we are shocked to find ourselves that dream places us in a situation with someone that we would never choose or like as a sex partner in our real life.
Our dreams carry an innate sensibility, an inner knowledge, and an element of potency that affords the capacity for each of us in opening the depths of our own experiences.
