    The Ten Most Common Dreams

    Though dreams are experiences unique to each person, there is such a thing as common dreams. Common dreams are dreams that pretty much border on similar themes. Transcending from all cultures and generations, Patricia Garfiled's book, The Universal Dream Key, features the ten most common dreams, based on an international survey conducted by the Garfield herself.

    Here are the ten most common dreams, as well as their brief interpretations.

    Dream Themes about Being Attacked or Chased

    Eighty percent of those who took part in Garfield's survey note dreams about being pursued or attacked, and is interpreted as the effects of stress, experienced by the dreamer in the waking world.

    Dream Themes about Dying or Getting Injured

    Death doesn't really mean someone's going to die. Rather dreams about death are interpreted as symbolism for something once thriving in the dreamer that is somewhat dying, or no longer living up to how it used to in the past.

    Dream Themes Regarding Vehicle Trouble

    Common Dreams of this caliber mostly symbolize the sentiments of a dreamer, relating his/her waking life as going out of control. Regardless if the dreamer can drive a vehicle or not, Vehicle Trouble is among the most common dreams.

    Dream Themes Involving Poor Performances

    Dream Themes Involving Drowning or Falling

    As among the most common dreams, dream themes involving falling or drowning happens when a dreamer feels overwhelmed in his/her waking world. Drowning dreams, particularly, are interpreted as the survival instinct of a person to breathe.

    Dream Themes Involving Being Nude in Public
