The 5 Most Common Dreams and Their Meanings

Dreams have always fascinated humans: visions, experiences, sensations that we live every night while comfortably lying in our beds. One of the most astonishing features of dreams is that, in many cases, they appear in a very similar manner to different people, repeating multiple times with common elements among them. Recent research conducted by British psychologist Ian Wallace has allowed us to compile a list of the most common recurring dreams, along with explanations. Here are the 5 most common dreams that you’ve likely experienced!

Dreaming of Being Chased

It often happens, especially during periods of high stress, to dream of being chased by someone. This dream indicates the need to solve a complex and persistent problem in everyday life.

Dreaming of Losing Teeth

If you have this dream, it means you are in a moment of weakness and fragility that scares you. However, dreaming of losing teeth also denotes the desire to react and change things, to "bite into life" again with full confidence in your abilities and potential.

Dreaming of Being Naked

It appears that this dream betrays the fear of exposing oneself, of not being up to others' expectations, of betraying and disappointing yourself and others. Dreaming of being naked in front of other people might also indicate a fear of judgment: perhaps you are going through a period where it is important for you to put yourself out there to achieve certain results, but you fear you won’t be able to handle the situation.

Dreaming of Flying

It is known that flying has always been considered a symbol of freedom and lightness. Dreaming of flying undoubtedly refers to a desire to escape, perhaps after a particularly difficult and heavy period. The desire to overcome a period of severe restrictions might lead you to dream of flying, at least in your sleep, fulfilling your desire for freedom.

Dreaming of Falling

This indicates that something in real life is weighing us down or worrying us. Maybe we are facing a period of particular anguish or helplessness, and the dream of falling perfectly represents the feeling of being at the mercy of something we experience without having full control over the situation.
