What are common dream themes and meaning?
Falling
When you experience falling accompanied by the emotion of fear in your dream, it signifies insecurity about a situation. Perhaps you did not accomplish something in your waking life and your dream is bringing to light the feelings of not doing what you had hoped to do. If you are falling and feel happy it indicates that you are ready to embrace the beauty of the changes that are currently presenting themselves in your waking life.
Being chased
If you experience being chased in your dream, it may represent that you are running from what is causing anxiety and fear in your waking life. The act of running in your dream emulates how you react to fear and stress in your waking life. It may indicate that you tend to avoid issues rather than confronting them.
Running late
If you dream that you are late, it may indicate that you are worried about taking a new direction in your waking life and may lack the confidence needed to make a change. It may also mean that you feel as though time is fleeting and that you may not have adequate time to finish something. These dreams are your unconscious mind’s way of affirming that it is never too late to do the things you want in life.
People appearing from your past
If you dream of people from your past, it is important to note how you feel in this dream, are you happy or do you feel sad or angry?
The emotions surrounding this relationship may indicate that you have cherished memories of this person or alternatively, that you have been hurt in the past. While you think you have moved on, your subconscious is telling you otherwise.
It is also important to note what this person meant to you in your life and how that relates to your present situation. Does this person represent a characteristic that you wish to emulate in your current waking life? Are there aspects of your current life that remind you of this person?
Failing a test
If you dream that you fail a test, it may represent the concerns you face in your waking life surrounding your ability to embrace what you have achieved in life. These dreams bring to light the question of if you are satisfied with the grades you have received for your accomplishments. If you feel the grade is unsatisfactory, this may indicate that you were not adequately recognized for your accomplishments.
Why do we dream?
The reason we dream is largely unknown, though it is thought that dreaming allows us to consolidate and analyze memories for the situations we experience in our waking lives. It may be our subconscious mind alerting us to a problem in our waking life and providing us with visual clues to analyze and understand hidden messages that appear in our waking life.
Dreams bring to light areas of our life that may need attention and fixing. They provide a means for addressing emotional conflict that we experience in our daily life, regardless of if we are aware that these personal struggles exist.
