5 Common Dreams Interpreted

The Penguin Dictionary of Psychology definition of a dream: "A train of hallucinatory experiences with a certain degree of coherence, but often confused and bizarre, taking place in the condition of sleep and similar conditions."

Dreams have been said to be a universal language; it isn't uncommon for people from different cultures and all walks of life to share common dreams. People have reflected on the meanings of dreams for centuries. In some ancient civilizations dream were believed to be the human's connection to the spirit world. The Greeks and Romans believed dreams to be foretelling. In the end of the nineteenth century Freud and his pupil Carl Jung presented new ideas on dreams, their purpose and meanings.

Though their theories varied, they introduced the idea of dreams being unresolved thoughts and desires, suggesting that in the dream world the mind is processing and working through the person's experiences.

Dreams are constantly being studied from different approaches and with different opinions. In today's blog I offer 5 of the most common dreams and their interpretations according to the book 10,000 Dreams Interpreted by Pamela Ball.

"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?" - Zhuangzi

5 Common Dreams Interpreted

1. Water

Water commonly symbolizes emotions and the feminine energy. Water in a dream can suggest many different states of emotions depending on the characteristics of the water; is it still, moving, clear, shallow or deep.

Getting in water can represent starting something new or renewing energy life force. Surfacing from water gives the image of starting anew. Deep water can symbolize being out of one's depth or accessing the subconscious.

Flowing water is peace and comfort, while rushing water represents passion. Shallow water is a symbol of low essential energy.

Drowning symbolizes one's ability to push things down into the unconscious only for it to resurface in an unmanageable way. Rivers or streams always comment on how the dreamer is living her life.

2. Flying

Traditionally dreaming of flying is looked at in terms of sex and sexuality but it can be more accurate to approach it as having to do with lack of reticence and freedom.

If you are ascending in flight, this represents coming into a place of spiritual gratitude of life. Descending in flight is to be delving into the subconscious seeking understanding.

Freudian suggested that floating has to do with sexuality but in all likeliness it is connected to the need for freedom.

3. Being Chased

Many dream experts site this as being one if not the most common dream.

This most commonly is a reflection on the dreamer trying to deflect responsibility, one's impression of failure, or the fear of big emotions.

Being chased by shadows is the need to break free from repressed trauma. Running from an animal commonly represents the need to connect with one's passion.

4. Death

Conventionally dreams of death point to birth or life changes for the dreamer or people in her life. In modern day life death in a dream can suggest there is a challenge that must be faced.

It suggests to adapt your world view; welcome the challenges and discomfort that comes with change. Remember that with endings come new beginnings.

To dream of your own death is to explore your perception of death, leave your body/ego behind, and maybe explore your spirituality.

5. Nude

Nudity is related to the dreamer's self image. People have a yearning to be seen for their true self, to let down all social barriers and be truly known. With this desire can come fear of being misunderstood. For example: in a dream of being naked while walking down the street. The interpretation depends on whether or not you were seen by people. To be seen by others can suggest that there is a part of you that you want to expose. To not be seen, to be nude and along, may suggest that you desire liberation. Nudity represents purity, incorruption, and virtue.
