“Huh, why am I naked?”
“I’m dead?”
“Oh, no, someone is chasing after me!”
“I can’t find my way, I’m lost!”
Do these scenarios always appear in your dream? They may be telling you something. According to Sigmund Freud, famous neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis, when your consciousness is asleep and at rest, your subconsciousness is awake and makes images that give hints about your deepest self. Your dreams are a reflection of your worries and fears that give warnings.
LOST. No clue where you are, in the middle of nowhere, panicking. Maybe your dream is telling you that you are ‘lost’ for real. That your life has no direction whatsoever, even if you are aware of the consequences of what you are doing. Your subconscious may be reminding you that the direction you are treading is wrong or might put you in danger. That panic feeling and anxiety are a reflection of important decisions that you fail to do at a given time. Change for the better. Life is precious.
TRAPPED. Maybe your dream is telling you that you are “trapped” in your present state of life — work, relationship, family, habit, past — that makes your existence lifeless. Maybe it’s about time to leave that boring job, ditch that destructive partner, stay away from toxic relatives, cut that addiction, move on from traumatic memories. Act now! Do what makes you happy, fulfilled, and FREE!
DEATH. We fear this eerie dream. But according to dream researchers, this kind of dream is positive. Meaning, a chapter will end — mortgage, loans, unhealthy relationship, bad habits, emotional bondage, negativity, health issues — and a new one will unfold. Or, something grand or a big change is about to happen to make way for a fresh start, to do what your heart desires, and to reach your goals in life. New beginning, new life.
SOMEONE’S CHASING YOU. According to psychologists, this kind of dream indicates that you are trying to avoid someone or something in real life. This maybe a sign that you are not facing your problems or issues squarely, whether at work, at home, in your relationship, with yourself. Deep inside, you maybe suffering from suppressed resentments, anger, rage, irritation, and other negative feelings not only to people around you but toward yourself. To lessen, if not stop, this strange dream, first, take care of yourself emotionally, physically, and mentally. Avoid negative thoughts, subscribe to work-life balance, always think positive, surround yourself with loving people, and have a happy outlook in life. You will be blessed.
FALLING. Your life is out of control, no balance in all aspects. Reason you are stressed out, anxious, depressed, unstable. Don’t get stuck in this kind of life. Regain your confidence, be strong, and turn your life for good. If you fall again, get up and rebuild. Be still, you can do it!
LOSING TEETH. You maybe conscious about your looks. You fear that you are no longer attractive and appealing that people will reject you. You maybe suffering from low self esteem specially if you believe what other people say about you. We use our teeth to chew, bite, cut food. If we lose our teeth, we can no longer do those things. We become powerless. That’s how we feel when we are not confident. But you have the power to change your attitude, balance life, and love yourself — however you look. Remember, how you perceive yourself is more valuable than the opinion of others. You look great, smile!
SEX. This kind of dream is normal, according to Healthline. What is your subconscious telling you? Do you have relationship issues? Are you uncomfortable discussing your sex life? Have you sexual trauma in the past? There are a lot of reasons this scenario keeps popping up in your dream. If you wake up from this dream, healthline recommends to take a deep breath and use this dream to know yourself better. But if it bothers you that it affects your life, consult a mental health professional to help clear things up. Sweet dreams!
WAKE UP CALL: Dreams happen when we are asleep. So, we should never let our dreams run our waking life. We have the power to do what is right and pleasing for our self, for other people, for the community, for the environment, and for our own good. Don’t live life based on what’s happening when we are deep in slumber. Wake up!
