A lot of us want to know what the future has in store for us.
Perhaps we don’t want the specifics, like the exact name of the person we’ll marry, the birth dates of our children (or grandchildren), or how we’ll spend our retirement — after all, some of us want to be surprised. But having a few warnings so we can make the right decisions and experience the very best lives we possibly can? That would be ideal.
There are lots of ways you can sway your destiny, like reading you daily horoscope or visiting a psychic. But you can also take matter into your own hands, quite literally, by learning how to read your own palm.
Another way of figuring out what the future has in store for you is by paying close attention to your dreams.
Unlocking secrets while you slumber is called precognition, or second sight. In 1927, J. W. Dunne, a British aeronautics engineer, published an experiment he had conducted on himself called “An Experiment with Time.” For the study, he recorded each of his dreams to see if they told him anything about his future, which it very well did — be it a trivial incident in his own life or some major news event. Dunne concluded that precognitive dreams are common occurrences and that many people have them without realizing it because they do not recall the details of the dream.
Don’t let this happen to you.
We’ve compiled 12 of the most popular dreams and what they say about your future. And believe me, knowing the true meaning behind a death or nude-in-public dream has really helped me sleep at night…
Teeth falling out
Many dream experts believe that losing teeth symbolizes a desire to have a baby. Others feel your pearly whites are linked with confidence, and losing your teeth means you will soon question your self-esteem. But the most compelling theory is that when teeth fall out, it’s because you are about to let something out of your mouth that should have remained in there permanently, like gossip, a secret, or saying something hurtful. So, hold your tongue if you have this type of dream.
Falling
Falling dreams are a red flag from your subconscious that something in your life is about to quite literally fall to pieces. If you are having this dream, something may be going downhill in your work, personal, or love life and you need to make peace pretty quick.
Showing up to work or school naked
Being nude can make you feel pretty vulnerable, and the naked truth is, that despite the humiliation you may feel when having a dream about being in the buff, it’s actually a good thing. This kind of dream means that something is about to happen to you that garners a lot of attention — like a promotion, getting a new job, or your life is about to come into public view. Although these things are all pretty great, you may still feel a little vulnerable, which is why you’re nude in the dream. This type of dream usually occurs when someone is about to step up to something new & exciting but perhaps a little outside of their comfort zone.
Taking a test
Put your pencil down, this kind of dream does not allude to a future test you’ll have to take. It does, however, tune into another aspect of test-taking process you may not initially realize. We’re usually under pressure to be sharp while taking a test, especially when you’re taking one for school or a job. This type of dream is warning you to stay alert, because something life-changing is about to occur and you don’t want it to pass you by.
Being chased
This dream represents a confrontation that will happen that you will want to avoid. It’ll be an issue you don’t know how to deal with or a situation you’re trying to get out of, but if you meet it head on, you’ll feel like a great weight has been lifted.
Flying
Flying dreams can mean a number of things depending on which direction you’re flying in. If it’s upwards, you’re about to have a spiritual awakening. If it’s downwards, you’re about to learn something you never about yourself before. Flying low to the ground? Your determination will surprise you in the very near future. Backwards means you want to relive a time in your life that you really enjoyed. And if you’re flying a plane, it means you’re about to have a lot of fun – hopefully traveling.
Death
Dreaming about death can be really disturbing. But don’t fret, it’s not nearly as ominous as you might think. It means something in your life is about to end to make room for something else. Think of it like the old saying “when one door closes, another opens.”
Water
Water represents emotions, and the condition of the water usually gives an indication of what’s in store for you. If the water is boiling, you’re about to get upset about something. Waterfalls represent a fresh start. Walking on water means you are about to gain control over something.
Being late or missing something
Ever noticed how the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland always seemed stressed out? Take note, dream-wise: Being late in a dream might mean that you’re overwhelmed and doing too much. When you’re having this type of dream, you may want to avoid making promises you can’t keep.
House
Houses represent different aspects of the dreamer's life. For instance, a basement represents that something that will be neglected, while bedrooms are connected to something you feel passionately about taking shape.
Pregnancy
In a dream, gender doesn’t factor into pregnancy. In the surreal world of one’s mind, both women and men can experience pregnancy dreams. If you are female, sexually active, and do not wish to become pregnant, the dream can mean that you are about to have a self-awakening. For men, these dreams mean that you are about to embark on a creative awakening.
Paralysis
A dream about paralysis means that you’re going to soon regain control over your life. You typically get this dream at the end of a time where you feel like you’re not in the drivers seat anymore. But fear not: Although this dream seems scary, it’s a light at the end of a tunnel.
