Dreams. How do you Interpret it?

Last night, I had the weirdest and scariest dream! Hindi ako yung madalas na nanaginip, kadalasan, mabababaw lang, and last night's dream caught my attention, why? 

FALLING TEETH! It came to a point that the left side of my mouth (inside) was falling apart. Bungal. Walang ipin! Hindi nakakatuwa. 

Naalala ko pa nga while it was happening, sabi ko sana panaginip lang ito kasi sabi nila may mamamatay daw pag ganun yung panaginip, so I did a little research. 

Dream Interpretation #1: Teeth falling out in dreams symbolize insecurities

 

Dream analysts often associate the imagery of teeth falling out with the idea of loss and important life changes. This symbol points to feelings of insecurity or vulnerability regarding a recent event that disrupted your life.

For instance, you could have this type of dream as you are moving, changing jobs, ending a relationship or starting a new one, taking on new responsibilities in your life, etc. These are important life changes that may be reflected in your dream as a traumatic or scary event such as seeing your teeth fall out.


 Well, this is quite true for me. 

• Ending a relationship-- nah, other way around. I was abandoned. :,(
• Changing jobs- could be. From HR to becoming a businesswoman newbie to plans of going back to HR if God will allow it, of course if the business is already stable.
• Taking on new responsibilities- since I am starting to locate another site for my business or transfer its location to a better and more accessible one.
• Plans of studying is on my list also!

Trauma yung una, it just doesn't show (anymore) because I am a strong woman. I learned to love myself more, rather than hurting it by crying and wallowing in self pity. It would be unfair to God because He has surrounded with beautiful and wonderful blessings which I might not be able to see and appreciate if I just focus on my problem/s.

The last three, I see it as exciting challenges not as a dilemma. Biro mo, magawa ko yang tatlong yan, pwede nakong kandidato sa pagiging superwoman! Haha. And I'm willing to take risks. Taking risks teach us how to grow. We fall, we rise, we learn :)

Anyway, what are the other common dreams that have Interpretations?

1. Animals often represent the part of your psyche that feels connected to nature and survival. Being chased by a predator suggests you're holding back repressed emotions like fear or aggression.
2. Babies can symbolize a literal desire to produce offspring, or your own vulnerability or need to feel loved. They can also signify a new start.
3. Being chased is one of the most common dream symbols in all cultures. It means you are feeling threatened, so reflect on who is chasing you (they may also be symbolic) and why they are a possible threat in real life.
4. Clothes make a statement about how we want other people to perceive us. If you dream symbol is shabby clothing, you may feel unattractive or worn out. Changing what you wear may reflect a lifestyle change.
5. Crosses are interpreted subjectively depending on your religious beliefs. Some see it as symbolizing balance, death, or an end to a particular phase of life. The specific circumstances will help define these dream symbols.
6. Exams can signify self-evaluation, with the content of the exam reflecting the part of your personality or life under inspection.
7. Death of a friend or loved one represents change (endings and new beginnings) and is not a paranormal prediction of any kind. If you are recently bereaved, it may be an attempt to come to terms with the event. 
8. Falling is a common dream symbol that relates to our anxieties about letting go, losing control over a situation, or somehow failing after a success.
9. Faulty machinery in dreams is often caused by your language centers being shut down while asleep, making it difficult to dial a phone, read the time, or search the internet. It can also represent performance anxiety in life. 
10. Food is said to symbolize knowledge, because it nourishes the body just as information nourishes the brain. Food for thought?
    Demons are sneaky evil entities which signify repressed emotions. You may secretly feel the need to change your own behaviors for the better.
11. Hair has significant ties with sexuality, according to Freud. Abundant hair may symbolize virility, while cutting hair off in a dream shows a loss of libido. Hair loss may also express a literal fear of going bald or becoming unattractive.
12. Hands are always present in dreams but when they are tied up it may represent feelings of futility. Washing your hands may express guilt. Looking closely at your hands in a dream is a good way to become lucid. 
13. Houses can host many common dream symbols, but the building as a whole represents your inner psyche. Each room or floor can symbolize different emotions, memories and interpretations of meaningful events.
14. Killing in your dreams does not make you a closet murderer; it represents your desire to "kill" part of your own personality. It can also symbolize hostility towards a particular person and the desire to see them suffer.
15. Marriage may be a literal desire to wed or a merging of the feminine and masculine parts of your psyche.
16. Missing a flight or any other kind of transport is another popular dream, showing your frustration over possibly missing out on important opportunities in life. It's most common when you're struggling to make a big decision.
17. Money can symbolize self worth. If you dream of exchanging money, it may show that you're anticipating some changes in your life.
18. Mountains are obstacles, so to dream of successfully climbing a mountain can reveal a true feeling of achievement. Viewing a landscape from atop a mountain can symbolize a life under review without conscious prejudice.
19. Nudity is one of the most common dream symbols, revealing your true self to others. You may feel vulnerable and exposed to others. Showing off your nudity may suggest sexual urges or a desire for recognition.
20. People (other dream characters) are reflections of your own psyche, and may demonstrate specific aspects of your own personality.
21. Radios and TVs can symbolize communication channels between the conscious and subconscious minds. When lucid, ask them a question...
22. Roads, aside from being literal manifestations, convey your direction in life. This may be time to question your current "life path".
23. Schools are common dream symbols in children and teenagers but what about dreaming of school in adulthood? It may display a need to know and understand yourself, fueled by life's own lessons.
24. Sex dreams can symbolize intimacy and a literal desire for sex. Or they may demonstrate the unification of unconscious emotions with conscious recognition, showing a new awareness and personal growth.
25. Teachers, aside from being literal manifestations of people, can represent authority figures with the power to enlighten you.
26. Teeth are common dream symbols. Dreaming of losing your teeth may show a hidden fear of getting old and being unattractive to the opposite sex.
27. Being trapped (physically) is a common nightmare theme, reflecting your real life inability to escape or make the right choice.
28. Vehicles may reflect how much control you feel you have over your life - for instance is the car out of control, or is someone else driving you?
29. Water comes in many forms and can symbolize the subconscious mind. Calm pools of water reflect inner peace while a choppy ocean can suggest unease. 

So there, I hope this might help you with your dreams. This MIGHT be true, but it is still US who'll make the final interpretation, besides, tayo naman gumagawa ng desisyon at landas na tatahakin natin. LALIM!!! :))
