5 Most Common Dreams and Their Meaning

Did you ever dreamt about being chase or falling just like me?

Hey, i discovered something new that if you are always holding your anger, there is a high possibility that you will have a dream about animals, I've actually experienced it.

That's interesting, but pretty general, I think. Of those mentioned, I've only dreamed of falling, and not very often.

Researchers have determined that we are all born with only two fears: falling and loud noises. We acquire the others. I think the meanings behind dreams can be very subjective -- especially dreaming of animals chasing us, for example. A panther might be someone's favorite or totem animal whereas another person would fear it. It just depends on so many personal issues.

I believe to some extent that when a person tends to get laryngitis, have lots of sore throats, or problems relating to having trouble speaking (stuttering, etc.) that it might have to do with not wanting to talk about something/holding things back, not expressing oneself.

As for teeth falling out, I thought maybe that's related to the survival instinct. If we can't gnash our teeth and chew, we'll have trouble eating, so that MIGHT show a fear of scarcity, being poor, worrying about going without food, or even come up in dreams of those who suffer from anorexia nervosa or other eating disorders. It might also apply to a fear of aging.

I don't think this is the case all the time, but another example could be when someone tends to have a lot of foot trouble -- sometimes that may point to an underlying fear of moving forward in some way. I read about most of the potential causes for these types of ailments in Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life." It doesn't apply to everything, but I think it's always good to have varied, balanced opinions.

Sleep doctors say those nightmares are caused by varying degrees of sleep apnea depriving the brain of oxygen. The nightmares wake you up, so you can get air, and not suffocate in your sleep.

I was just thinking of that. I just had a sleep study done a couple of weeks ago and I found out I have severe sleep apnea and my oxygen levels reach critical lows during the night. My problem is that my dreams are so vivid and I hate that I can remember them all day long and when I go to sleep at night, I remember what I was dreaming when I woke up that morning. That bugs the heck out of me.

I know that oxygen deprivation will cause hallucinations, so I'm wondering if the sleep apnea and the low oxygen levels are causing these vivid dreams.

My most common dream has always been, that I'm in high school and don't know my class schedule, or where any of my classrooms are, or just vaguely know the order of my classes. Related to that, is being unprepared for an exam, having been chronically absent all semester from not knowing where the rooms were.

I very often dream that I can take giant bounding leaps everywhere, like a kangaroo. Once or twice, dreamed that I was multi-lingual and effortlessly knew several languages. I also used to dream about being caught with pornographic magazines at home. Or being on a slow commuter bus, stuck in big-city traffic, making me late getting to work or home - which was actually my experience for 30 years - or having to work after the usual quitting time, making me get in even worse crowds and traffic than usual.

People who astral project(AP) or go out-of-body(OBE) reckon that many of these events are related to those abilities. They suggest that we are more than a physical lump of matter walking around, and we are really a number of 'bodies' which are differing according to which reality we are in at the time. So for example we have one body for this reality, and another body for another reality, and we are actually a multi-dimensional spirit using a physical 3D body like it was a car. We get in for a lifetime and then get out of the car when we die.

So, if you read the OBE and AP literature, you will see that falling dreams are related to the astral body returning back into the physical body. They say that everyone separates slightly from the physical each night to 'recharge' the physical body for the next day.

Bounding leaps and flying is what we can do in the astral reality and so we do not need to walk around everywhere. Read the literature about it, start with Robert Monroe's Journeys out of the Body. He was a skeptic and very practical person before he started to have OBE experiences and then he decided to investigate the phenomena in an analytical way.

Doctors, of course, have another explanation to what OBE and AP people believe.

I have no recollection of what I dream about for months now. However, something weird happened several times this week and I haven't figured out the meaning or if it has a meaning. I have woken up around 2am - 3am to the sound of a very loud alarm. It sounds very similar to my alarm. As soon that I wake up, the quietness of the bedroom instantly takes place as if there was never any alarm going off. If it was a one time thing I would had brushed it off, but since it happened on several nights this one week it has left me thinking about it.

Dreams are really just the cutting room floor of the mind, , they may not necessarily mean anything at all...however I have had several dreams (over the years), that for some reason, stay permanently ingrained into my memory...while most others, I forget all the details a few hours after I get up...why there is a significant difference, I have NO idea!
