Dream: You are falling from a height
Interpretation: This is one of the commonest dreams people have. This dream can take the form of a plane crash where one is falling from the sky or falling off a cliff. Falling in your dream implies the fear of failing. Even if one is successful or content with what they do and still encounter this dream, then they need to question themselves about what scares them. Are they scared of a façade they mask? Or are they fearful of the responsibilities that come with success? Ultimately, this dream represents repressed fears that we have not resolved within ourselves. If one sees this dream recurrently then it’s time to address issues related to self-worth and overcoming self-doubts
Dream: You are being followed by a snake or are surrounded with many snakes
Interpretation: Another usual vision people experience in their dreams is to be followed by a snake. This dream has a serious connotation. The person dreaming of this might be surrounded with dishonest people who are plotting harm silently. These people do not reveal their true intentions and plan to cause damage in some way that you might not be aware of. In this case, one needs to reflect on their close company and choose their confidants wisely.
Dream: You are walking naked in a gathering of people
Interpretation: This could be a disturbing dream which might throw someone off the grid if they set out to analyse it themselves. Fret not, dreaming of being nude in public signifies a fear of exposure and people finding out about your true self. Mind plays games with us when we are being dishonest to our surroundings. It designs a vision from our deepest fears and presents them in a magnanimous way to tell us that we are being phony. People who have issues with self esteem are the most prone to this dream sequence. It also points towards those who try to fit in an unfavorable surrounding, or try to imitate mannerisms that are opposing to their true qualities.
Dream: You have died in your dreams
Interpretation: When one encounters their own death in a dream, it implies that they are ready to let go of their past and embrace a new life. The person is reaching a tipping point and they are all set to restart by letting go of what haunts them. Seeing your own death in a dream is synonymous with a rebirth of new outlook in your real life. In this case, a person needs to accept that they deserve a second chance and let go of bottled up memories. It is also a signal for the person to deal with their childhood traumas and overcome them.
Dream: You are being chased by a mystical creature
Interpretation: This dream is an archetype of a wider dream pool where one is being followed by mystical creatures or animals. Sometimes mythical animals show up in our dreams. They could be our spirit animals which resonate with our inner self. They visit us in our subconscious state to remind us of our higher purpose. In this case, one needs to indulge in a self-exploration journey to identify their true traits and abilities. Dream analysts describes this as a sign of spiritual awakening.
