While we all dream most of us do not remember those dreams. On occasion, one will reign through and truly stand out, but when that happens we tend to ignore any potential meaning behind it even though we should be looking into all possibilities.

The things that happen and the symbols you find in your dreams can reveal a lot about you and where you are mentally. While some people do not like to reflect on themselves it is often exactly what needs to be done. Below I am going to go over some of the more common dreams/nightmares a person can have and what they are supposed to mean for those who have them. While meanings will vary, these are for the most part quite universal.

9 Common Dreams and What They Could Mean For Those Who Have Them:

1. Dreams of losing teeth

If your teeth are falling out in your dream or dreams you might be letting things out of your mouth in general during your waking life that you shouldn’t. Perhaps you’ve said something you regret or are being overly cold towards those who care for you. You are being shown that once something comes out it cannot be put back.

2. Dreams of serious failure

If you have dreamed of serious failure on any level you feel as if you are failing in real life on some level. You might be facing lots of great opportunities but the stress of what is going to come is weighing heavily on you. You want to move forward not backward and are quite concerned in regards.

3. Dreams of dying or someone dying

To dreams of yourself or someone close to your dying reveals that there could be something coming to an end in your life. It usually stems from direct anger or anxiety towards yourself or others and cannot be resolved through being ignored. This kind of dream should serve as a reminder that life is quite short and we should make the most of it.

5. Dreams of being cheated on

Being able to fly in your dream state indicates that you might want to remove yourself from your current situation. You are being held back by all of the worries and stressors in your life. You have either managed to break free of something seriously weighing on you or you need to do-so.

9. Dreams of being nude in public
