Sometimes we have a dream that keeps recurring either several nights in a row, or you don't have the same dream but you keep seeing these symbols while you sleep. Several theories are trying to demystify the meaning of our dreams and one of the interesting theories is that it helps promote our mental health.

Here are the 7 signs in your dream that you should pay attention to.


1. Test

In general, dreaming about taking a test in a school meaning you are feeling anxious in competing with others, you wanna win so bad and not fail, or simply you are worried about disappointing somebody.

If you have already graduated from school way back years or even decades ago, you are already working but still dreaming about taking an exam. The possible meaning is that, you are experiencing a new challenging in your life and you feel unprepared for, especially if in your dream, you're almost arrive late or you did not study at all.

Maybe that dream is telling you to have more confidence in yourself in your abilities and if something feels too overwhelming to handle on your own, never be scared or ashamed to ask for help. If you are still in school, however, then most likely the stress you felt in real life simply put shields in your dream. But don't worry, you'll get through it and you'll finish it.

Another possible meaning is that you might be neglecting something in your life because you become busy with other things or admittedly procrastinated and that's fine. You may eventually get back to it, but take time to remain balance and make sure that you're not setting unrealistic goals for yourself just to try to please other people.

2. The Chase

Whether it's an animal or a person or a shadow, being chased in your dream is unnerving. Usually, it means you are highly uncomfortable or highly anxious about something in real life that you wanna avoid for time being or run away from at all cost. Sometimes it means fear from being physically vulnerable from actually being attacked in real life which are most common among women.

Being chased in a dream symbolically mean suppressed fear or worried. To figure out what you are trying to run away from, you can get clues by observing your other actions in a dream before or after being chased. These actions may help how you cope with whatever it is that you are avoiding in real life. If that didn't help and you are getting a little brave, try to put some courage to turn around and confront the chaser. Ask why they are chasing you. Also, consider the distance between you and them. If the chaser is gaining on you, then you have no choice but to confront them eventually, real soon in real life. If you manage to outgrow the pursuer, and there is a wide gap between you, then it means whatever that issue is now fading away.

If on the other hand, you're the one chasing someone or something in your dream, then it means you are trying to catch up with something that you feel like you are falling into in real life or simply symbolized you're renewed to achieve goals in waking life.

3. No Clothes

Walking around or running around without any clothes is another dream that leaves you feeling vulnerable and also exposed. Usually, this dream means that you are worrying too much and possibly magnifying a situation that is not really a big deal for others in your waking life. Especially the people in your dream don't seem to know this or not wearing anything.

Oftentimes, we are our worst critics. So getting this kind of dream may also mean that you have set an unrealistic goal for yourself and now feeling insecure, unprepared, or being caught off guard. You wished to hide and don't want to expose especially if you are in a new environment or trying to impress someone in waking life, and you're currently having tremendous fear, rejected, ridiculed, or get shamed by others.

4. Falling Teeth

Waking up with your actual teeth after dreaming falling teeth brings a mixed feeling of relief, horror, and confusion. In Chinese traditions, dreaming about falling teeth means feeling guilty about line to someone line to yourself. In other traditions, there is a superstition connected to the old tooth fairy tale that you will get money soon from dreaming about losing your tooth and leaving it under your pillow.

In old books and dreams, falling teeth signifies poor dental health in real life and even malnutrition. But if it's not the case, then that means you may be having trouble expressing yourself in waking life. Something may be preventing you from speaking up. Either because of a dominating person that won't listen or you're afraid of because you don't wanna be ridiculed, or it could mean, lacking confidence in your self-worth or attractiveness and questioning how others perceived you.

5. Falling

Falling in a dream accompanied by a sudden jolt or chronic jerk simply means that your body might be experiencing lower blood pressure and body temperature and other physiological changes as you fall sleep. The jolt in your body or twitch in your toes as you fall are something strong enough to wake you up. If it doesn't accompanied that jolt or twitch then you may be feeling helpless or losing control about a situation. May be you are feeling overwhelmed and can not keep with the current demands in your waking life.

Never despair, most likely you are already doing the best that you can and your dream might be telling you to have faith and let it be. Remember, this thou shall pass.

6. Dying

It could be a wake-up call allowing an aspect of yourself to die to make way to a new one, like ending a bad habit, making changes to improve your current health or lifestyle. If you see someone else dying in your dream instead of yourself, it could mean that there are major changes regarding your relationship with that person or within the qualities of that person you want to incorporate to yourself.

7. Flying

Flying in your dream usually felt exhilarating or sometimes be considered lucid dreaming if you are aware of that you are dreaming. Flying connotes a lot of things so it's important to remember how high you atre, where you are going, how fast you are flying, and what you are feeling while you are flying in your dream.

Usually, the height symbolizes how confident you are about being in charge of a situation. It indicates your sense of power especially if you recently overcome some challenge or setback. It could also mean a renewed sense of freedom.

The direction of your flight symbolizes your next focus. If you are flying towards mountains or buildings it means you want to level up to something next. If you are heading to the ocean or some body of water, it means you're feeling ready to confront or experience a new emotionally charged situation. If there's no direction and you're just simply flying above things then it may mean that you arw gaining a new perspective and seeing a bigger picture in your waking life.

The speed of your flight is connected to how you feel about being in control of a situation. If it's fast, then you are motivated to achieve something quickly. It may also mean trying to get away quickly from something that is bothering you in real life, particularly if you're feeling afraid instead of feeling confident while flying. If you are flying slowly, literally, or deliberately, then it reflects how you want to savor your current experiences in waking life. It may also mean not feeling quite ready about being in charge of something or someone is standing in your way in waking life, especially if you encounter an obstacle in your path while flying.

Aside from having a scope in your real life, dreams are also the subconscious brain's way of bringing about certain issues or experiences of a conscious mind to better understand them. So it is very important to pay attention to them especially if they keep repeating.

Sometimes these type of dreams give us a hint on how we can solve a problem or overcome a challenge, but either showing us in a dream world what exactly we need to do in real life or by simply making us aware of what the issue is.
