5 Common Recurring Dreams and What They Mean

Our quick intro to dream interpretation.

By MindBodyGreen

Below is some basic interpretation of five common dreams:

1. Naked Dream... Good old Sigmund Freud traces everything back to sex and believes this dream represents repressed sexual desires.

2. Chased Dream... The "Chased" dreams is the most literal translation of all common dreams and indicates feeling threatened.

3. Falling Dream...  Represents a lack of support. If you're a busy-bee at work you've probably had this popular dream.

4. Flying Dream... The Superman dream without the cape and the "Big S." Though this Big S represents Sex and it's important to remember how well you are flying since this dream is about your sexual power. If you're not flying so well -- well then, not so good.

5. Being Late or Missing an Event Dream... I can't tell you how many times I dreamed that I missed a final exam or an athletic practice. This dream represents regrets about a missed opportunity. I guess I should've practiced and studied a little harder!
