What do your dreams mean? The human brain can be hard to decipher sometimes. This couldn’t be more true when it comes to trying to uncover the potential meanings behind our dreams.When you go to sleep, your mind starts playing out a personalized story in your head, one that is often abstract and full of confusing or contradicting imagery. As strange as our dreams may be, it may surprise you to learn that a lot of the dreams people experience actually share common threads and themes among multiple individuals. In a 2003 study of the dreams of Canadian University Students, Tore A. Nielsen and other researchers discovered a number of recurring themes and images that cropped up more commonly in the participants’ dreams than others. But what do these dream themes mean?

Summary:
Dreams About Falling
Have you ever had a dream in which you were falling from a great height, only to suddenly jerk yourself awake with enough force that you practically fling yourself out of bed? According to the 2003 questionnaire, dreams about falling were one of the most common types of dream reported, but they could have more cause behind them than just a simple fear of skydiving. According to the Dream Dictionary, researchers say that the average person will have more than 5 falling related dreams over the course of their lifetime. So what makes this particular genre of dreaming so unusually common?
In some cases, the reason you dream about falling might actually be more biology than psychology. As we drift off and go to sleep after a long day, our bodies briefly enter a transitional state between being awake and being asleep, known as the “hypnagogic state”. When we enter this state, our brain may interpret the feeling of our muscles relaxing as the sensation of falling, causing our bodies to violently “twitch” awake in what’s known as a hypnagogic jerk. According to one hypothesis, this involuntary response could be a holdover from our pre-evolutionary days as tree-dwelling primates, when falling asleep at the wrong place or time could result in a very real fall for our ancient ancestors.
Dreams About Being Chased
How often do you have nightmares in which something is chasing or pursuing you? In the 2003 questionnaire, dreams about being chased weren’t simply among the most popular dreams shared among participants-- they were at the very top of the list! With dreams about being chased being such a common shared experience, there should be an equally common experience that would trigger them when we go to sleep, right?
According to psychotherapist Richard Nicoletti, dreaming about being chased might be your mind denoting the fact that you are trying to avoid something. If that sounds a little on the nose, Nicoletti also says to pay attention to just what exactly is chasing you in these dreams. Is it a man? A woman? An animal? Maybe you can’t even see what’s chasing you in your dreams; all you know is that something is behind you that you feel a desperate need to get away from. The nature of what’s chasing you in your dreams may be able to provide some insight into what you’re running from in real life; whether it’s a painful memory, an uncomfortable situation, or even your own emotions. According to Nicoletti, a dream about being chased might be intended as a subliminal wake-up call, a sign that it’s time for you to stop running in the real world and confront whatever it is you’ve been trying to avoid for so long.
Dreams About School
In the United States and Canada, children and teens can expect to spend at least 11 years within the school system, so it stands to reason that the topic of education would weigh heavily on our subconscious minds. In addition to the 2003 survey, another study conducted in 2014 determined that dreams about being in school ranked among the top five most frequent categories for dreaming, even among adults who have been out of school for decades. What’s more, people who have dreams about being back in school rarely describe it as a positive experience: being late for class, lost in the school’s hallways or unprepared for a quiz or test are all common occurrences that people recount in their dreams about schooling. So what is it about these school-related dreams that makes them persist for so long, potentially even years and years after we’ve long since graduated?
