While some of your dreams may have personal meanings that only you can interpret. There are a few common dreams and nightmares which you can find relatable and may contain some strong meanings.

6. Teeth Falling Out

This one is brute! Imagine waking up from a nightmare in severe shock frantically checking to see if your teeth have fallen out.

Well, if you have nightmares where out of nowhere your teeth fall out, this could be the sign of any insecurities of your appearance. A deep fear inside your mind about how others may judge you or your appearance.

If you are low on self-confidence and often have strong feelings of embarrassment or fear of rejection, this is likely more true.

We all have been chased in our dreams by someone and this can be pretty terrifying. In some cases it may feel as if you can’t move your legs as if they are stuck or suddenly stop working right when you need to run.

In your dreams, if you find yourself chased in a nightmare, this could mean that you’re also running away from something in real life. Maybe you’ve been continuously avoiding something very important. Maybe you don’t like to face these issues as you should be.

Some believe that whoever is after you, chasing you endlessly, could be a representation of a part of you. Is your past guilt coming back to haunt you? Well, let’s hope not.

Quit avoiding things you need to work on and don’t let your guilt consume you or talk about it with someone you trust.

2. Being Late or Missing an Event

This is a common dream in which you’re late to an important event in your dream, or sometimes missing an event.

Arriving late to a particular place, a job interview, how about being late to that test you weren’t prepared for?

Showing up late or missing an event can mean that you feel you’re missing out on an opportunity to feel fulfilled.

It also means the time isn’t waiting and seemingly running out for you, you’re still stuck at something and it seems you must hurry and make a choice.

It can also be a big discussion making you anxious in your life that may steer you towards an entirely new path. It’s best to calculate your life choices and realize you have enough time to figure this out.

You need to have a pep talk with someone about your hesitation and you may not be this fearful when a new opportunity arises.

a new path could lead you somewhere new. And this may not be as scary as you think. It can be exciting too.

1. Being Naked in a Dream

What a shame. Finding yourself naked in a dream. Usually you often find yourself in a crowded place wearing nothing but your underwear or sometimes nothing at all.

This dream indicates a fear you have of being exposed one day. Your ever hidden emotional insecurities out for everyone to see. Maybe you’re not as vulnerable as they should be.

Or maybe you try to put on a strong face in front of people when really being more vulnerable is the release you need.

This dream could be also a reflection of that as well as suspicion of uncertainty about something, or about yourself and what you want to achieve.

You must understand that it’s fine to be more vulnerable around those around you. Pretending to be someone you’re not gives you a guilt you carry throughout.

So, try to face things the way they are and don’t shy away from your true feelings. Open up to the world and show who you really are.
