5 Common Dream Interpretations

Everyone dreams every night. But what do our dreams mean? Do our dreams actually mean anything at all? Or are they simply our mind's release?

Here are some common dreams and their interpretation.

Being chased or attacked or fighting

If most of your dreams involve some kind of fight, chances are that you've got a degree of conflict that's surfacing at the moment. Take a note of the people or things you are fighting - whether it's people you recognize, weird creatures, creatures from outer space, etc. You may need to take steps to reduce the conflict that is going on in your life.

Nude or naked people

If you're naked in your dreams, this can mean that there will be a scandal about to break out in your life.

If you dream about other people who are naked, it's likely that you're trying to tempt those other people into doing something.

If you suddenly lose all your clothes in a dream and then try to cover your modesty, this could mean you're worried about a clandestine affair or relationship.

Water

Since we need water to stay alove, it's a good sign to see it in your dreams. Water helps to bring about life and to rejunvenate it.

If the water in your dreams gets too much, you may dream about drowning. Drowning in your dreams is often a symbol for being overwhelmed in the real world.

Dreaming about the ocean is a good sign as this represents limitless opportunities.

Cats

Cats can be your friend or they can be wild. Or your dream may involve big cats like lions and tigers.

Pay attention to the type of cats you encounter in your dreams although as a general rule, cats are linked to your feminine and intuitive side. You may also experience the cat using up one or more of its "nine lives" - this is good as it indicates survival.

Flying

Lots of dreams involve the idea of flying. If you are flying on your own, soaring through clouds and outer space, this is likely to indicate that you've got boundless possibilities ahead.

Flying in your dreams can also indicate that you're being released from something that's been holding you back.
