The Art Of Slumber: Common Dreams And What They Mean

What do horoscopes and dreams have in common? They both serve as a glimpse into the deeper parts of our lives. They may present a lot of unusual scenarios, themes, and images, but their sole purpose is to guide and remind us about the important things in our lives that we should be aware of.

And according to astrology experts, our Zodiac sign, the sun, the planets' alignments, and planetary shifts can all affect our interpretation of our dreams. Also, if you're an astrology fanatic, you may surely have heard of birth charts and star maps. These things, too, can affect our interpretations.

But you don't necessarily have to be a hardcore and true-blue astrologer or astrology fanatic just to understand the deeper meaning of your dreams. Explanations for various kinds of dreams are already available for everyone, including you, to help you navigate the real meanings and intentions of your dreams.

With that, here are the most common dreams that you may have already experienced but are still clueless about their deeper meanings. Read on and let us help you explore these dreams one by one:

Falling From Somewhere

There are two types of falling in a dream: the one where you are filled with fear and the one where you are full of comfort and lack any resistance.

When you experience falling into your dream while you are filled with fear, it signifies your insecurities and worries about specific things. And when you are filled with comfort while falling, it clearly sends a message that you are open to major changes in your life.

Having an experience of falling into your dream isn't necessarily bad because its message depends on how you feel while falling.

Flying

Just like falling, the meaning of flying in your dream depends on how you feel while experiencing it.

When you fly in your dream, but you struggle while doing it, it signifies that something is holding you back to fly higher and achieve your full potential.

If you're trying to fly but keep on failing, it symbolizes your real struggles in life, where you find it hard to be victorious from your many problems.

Discovering An Unused Room

A lot of people are interested in yet clueless about this specific dream, which is seeing an empty room. Seeing this kind of room in your dream means that you have discovered your hidden potential, and it's up to you if you're going to explore and tap it or leave it alone.

Whenever people see an empty room in their dreams, they usually see a white room, and it actually symbolizes a blank canvas, ready to be painted with new possibilities by none other than you.

Being Chased

This specific dream is almost as literal as it gets. Being chased in a dream means that you are actually running from something in your life. It could be your fear, a truth you cannot handle, a major responsibility, or a life-changing decision that's too big for you to handle.

This dream also sends a message that whatever these things are, you can run away from them. But certainly, you cannot hide, and they will keep on chasing you.

Fallen Teeth

We've probably all had this dream when we experienced seeing some of our teeth suddenly falling. The usual explanation for this dream revolves around our big worry about how other people see us or our fear that we might be rejected by someone.

We might not be consciously thinking about these fears while we are awake, and these dreams are our mind's way of reminding us to deal with these fears. Because as long as we keep on ignoring these fears, these would grow into much bigger problems that can directly affect our lives.

Water

Seeing water in your dream means that something lies deep within you that you have to deal with.

The dream may not reveal what exactly this thing is, but the presence of water means that it's deep within you, and just like an eager diver searching for a pearl, you need to be willing to dive really deep just to discover it.

And whatever this thing is, it is surely something important which can make a big impact in your life

House

The house symbolizes yourself. If you see in your dream that you are exploring a certain house, it means that you are actually exploring your strengths, weaknesses, passion, and limits in real life.

Whenever you find yourself visiting a house in your dream, take note of how it looks because it also signifies important messages that you should be aware of.

If the house looks old and desperately needs a lot of repairs, it signifies that you should make a lot of major "repairs" or improvements in your life. Because if you don't, your life would surely fall apart, just like a real old house that was neglected with much-needed repairs.

Being Naked

Seeing that you are naked in your dream can mean two things. The first one is that you are afraid that people can see through you and may judge you for who you really are. The second one is that you are confident with your identity or with your real self, and you are not afraid of being judged by other people.

Anything Related To Death

The usual explanation for this specific dream is the end or 'death' of something in you or something in your life. It may be the end of a bad habit, the end of self-pity, or any unhealthy traits that finally ended in you.

This dream could also mean that something in your life would soon come to an end, so you need to pay close attention whenever you dream this specific dream because whatever message it is implying can surely make a big impact on your life.

Money or Other Valuables

As much as we want to interpret this dream as a sign of incoming wealth in real life, unfortunately, it isn't. Money or other valuable things such as jewelry and gold symbolizes a very important thing in our life that we may have already forgotten, or worse, has taken for granted.

These things could be a talent or a specific person, and this dream reminds us that we should rediscover their immense value in our life.

We hope that this list has helped you realize the true meaning of your dreams, and these realizations may lead you to a life full of meaning and new discoveries.
