Falling From A Great Height

When we dream of falling from a great height, in our waking life we’re experiencing something over which we have no control and which has a great potential for failure. This nightmare is your subconscious’s way of telling you that you need to either relax or quit relying on Fate to control your destiny.

Loosing Your Teeth

Dreaming that you’re losing your teeth can signify a couple of things. Your smile is the first thing people see and, right now, perhaps you’re concerned about your appearance for some reason. Teeth are used to rip and tear and chew, they signify power. Are you involved in some type of power struggle? It may also signal that you’re worried about making a fool of yourself. Are you planning to give a presentation at the office tomorrow?

You’re Naked in Public

We choose our clothing based on the image we want to present to the world. The problem is, that image is often not who we really are. When you dream you’re naked in a public place it’s because you fear people will see the real you.

trapped

You’re Trapped

You’re locked in the basement, trapped in a room with no doors, or forever running through a maze with no exit. When you dream you’re trapped in some way it means you’re feeling confined in some area of your life – trapped in a dead-end job or in a difficult relationship.

You’re Driving In An Out-of-Control Car

Dreaming that you drive off the bridge or go careening into a tree or you’re driving on an impossibly steep, twisty road is a sure sign your waking life is out of control. If you also dream that you’re a passenger in the car and no one is driving, this suggests that you’re refusing to accept responsibility for your situation.

chased

You’re Being Chased

You may not ever see who or what is chasing you but you know it’s back there and it’s getting closer. When you dream you’re being chased it means generally means you’re trying to flee a situation that’s unconquerable.

Your Own Death

While it might seem pretty horrifying to dream about your own death, it actually signifies something positive. Dreaming of your own death means there are big changes in store for you. If you’re in a difficult or unhealthy work or personal relationship, you can look forward to its imminent demise.
