1. You had “Sexy Times” With Your Ex
No, you don’t really want to get back together with your ex–this dream doesn’t typically mean that. It means you’re seeking excitement, passion, a thrill back in your life. When you dream about your ex, you’re going back to a time when you were footloose and fancy-free without a care in the world. Fun times with your ex is a hint to you feeling insecure with your looks, your ambition, your current existence in general. You’re looking back to a time you were loved and attractive to the opposite sex.


2. You Hooked Up With a Celebrity
Not surprisingly, the first two dream interpretations are related to sex. That’s because sexual dreams are super common–they make up approximately 9 percent of all dreams, and they reveal a lot about one’s psyche. Sex with a celebrity means you’re ambitious, and working toward a goal. Maybe you want what the celebrity has, be it money, fame, or career success. Nothing wrong with a little ambition.


3. Your Hair or Teeth Fell Out
You’re a little insecure about your looks. Maybe you noticed a few more grey hairs, a new wrinkle–in short, you’re noticing yourself aging. Everyone gets older, don’t beat yourself up over it.


4. You Were on a Roller Coaster or Water Slide
This is one of those rare fairly straightforward dreams. You’re feeling the brutal ups and downs of life, or you feel like the rat race is getting to be too much. This signifies you need more fun (or at the very least, more leisure) in your life. Less late nights at the office wouldn’t hurt either–there’s a serious lack of balance in your life.


5. You Were Naked in Public
A classic! Walking around naked in public means you’re afraid your deepest, darkest insecurities will be exposed to the outside world–especially to those whose opinion you value. What are you hiding?


6. A Cherished Family Member Made an Appearance
Many people often say that this means your family member is “visiting” you, making an otherworldly connection. Who knows? However, dream analysts say it means that you’re having a difficult time in your life, and the thought of this person is a great comfort. Either way, a pretty cool dream.


7. You Forgot to do Something of Major Importance
This takes a few forms. Some people realize they forgot to take their college finals, or maybe they forget to attend class all year and then have to take the final. Maybe you forgot to turn in a vital project at work. These are all anxiety dreams and actually signify unresolved stress in your life. I hate these dreams.


8. Someone was Chasing You
A very common dream–I think it’s safe to say most of us have had this one at least once. Analysis of this dream doesn’t mean you’re really being chased though, it’s means you’re avoiding a real-life emotion, feeling–maybe even an important decision.


9. YouWere Flying
This one’s tricky. If you were flying really high off the ground–like airplane height, it usually means you’ve overcome something and feel victorious–you’re overjoyed and you feel indestructible. If you were flying low–like among power lines and trees, you’re frustrated with something in your life–you can’t fly free because of the low-profile obstructions.


10. You Were Falling for What Seemed Like Forever
Something in your life is out of control, man. This is textbook Dreams 101. You really need to figure out what it is and fix it. Easier said than done, but the good thing is that you probably know what that thing in your life is.

I just had one of those dreams last night. The explanation does seem to fit with what's going on in my world.
 
Been told a few times if you have a dream that your teeth are falling off means you or someone close to you is going to get sick or death. Anyone experience this?.

:SayWhat?:
 
Dreams come to us in our most private moments: wrapped up in sheets, our public faces stored away for the night. The visions we see in sleep are supposed to be expressions of our individual psyches and imaginations, but most people’s dreams are based on themes that are very common.

I thought my recurring dream of losing my teeth was scary and freakish until I went online to find thousands of others having the same dream, all trying to find out what the heck it could mean. Just because our dreams are shared, though, doesn’t mean they aren’t unique; the way we experience these common elements in dreaming life is what’s significant.

1. Being chased.
Candice Janco, author of the Bedside Dream Dictionary: 500 Dream Symbols and Their Meanings, describes this dream (the most common) as an indication of a felt threat in your waking life. This threat can take the form of a menacing person or a strong emotion with which you are having difficulty coping. Try to determine who or what is chasing you, where the dream takes place, and what your feelings are during the chase to understand what this dreams means to you.

2. Missing an important event because you are late.
This can indicate regret over a missed opportunity, inability to make a connection, or desire to pull oneself together. InDream Power: How to Use Your Night Dreams to Change Your Life, Cynthia Richmond suggests asking questions of dreams in order to understand what this common symbol means to you. For example: What are you missing? Who is disappointed by the missed event? Is it only you or are there others involved?

3. Finding yourself at work or school naked.
Not surprisingly, Freud interpreted dreams about being naked as repressed sexual wishes. But the most important part of this dream is the feelings that are involved. You suddenly find yourself exposed, vulnerable, and awkward. What area of your life corresponds to that feeling? Figure this out by noting where you are, who notices you, what part of you is exposed, how people react to you, and how you yourself react to the situation.

4. Falling.
Falling indicates feelings of insecurity and lack of support. What situation have you “fallen into?” Who has “let you down?” Perhaps not surprisingly, this particular dream is most common among professional men and women. The Illustrated Dream Dictionary authors Russell Grant and Vicky Emptage note the close relationship between “falling” and “failing.” They also note that the dream’s meaning is probably not so clear-cut. Grant and Emptage ascribe dreams of falling to feelings of isolation, the sense of being without the support and affection that success cannot provide.

5. Flying.
Interestingly, Grant and Emptage interpret flying dreams as boasting about sexual powers. The important part of the dream is how you are flying; since the flying itself represents your ambitions, are you flying successfully, or trying and failing to fly as high as possible? From there, they make the leap to feelings of sexual inadequacy, but such feelings of low self-esteem could cover inadequacy of any kind, not just sexual.

6. Losing your teeth.
This theme has a number of potential meanings because of the very different significances teeth have to different people. Our teeth are representative of our appearance because our smiles are one of the first things people notice about us. Therefore, dreaming about losing your teeth can indicate insecurity about your appearance, or even fears of sexual impotence, as teeth are often used to flirt with a desired partner. We also use our teeth to bite, chew, and tear, so losing them can mean a loss of power or fear of getting old. Interestingly, this dream is most common among menopausal women, perhaps for all of the above reasons

7. Snakes.
Snakes have been a fear in dreams for quite some time. The ancient Egyptians used to make snakes out of clay and place them at the doors of their homes to frighten away nightmares, believing that snakes were bringers of bad dreams and that the clay snake would keep real ones away. Dreammoods, an online encyclopedia of dream meanings, reports that snakes signify some hidden threat. This makes sense, as most of us fear the “snake in the grass.” Like most other symbols, though, this one has many meanings that depend on context. Snakes shed their skin, so they may signify renewal and transformation.

This may be a frightening experience, as most people are uncomfortable with change, or it may be very positive.
In all of our dreams, the true meanings emerge when we decide what they really mean to us. Though these dream symbols are shared among many, and we can determine general explanations for them, it is the context in which we place them that is significant. Read all you can about dream meanings to find information that may be relevant to you, but also ask questions about your dreams and how these symbols make you feel. Once you dig a little deeper, you may find answers and clarity.
 
I often dream of deceased loved ones - usually my grandma.

Last night I dreamt of fireworks. What does that mean?

Dreaming of fireworks brings happiness to your soul. But if the fireworks is causing problems, beware.

Dreaming of deceased ones means you are restless and searching for answers.
