If you regularly have bad dreams, then going to bed every night, you will fear that you will again find yourself in your personal "Nightmare on Elm Street." It is worth figuring out what your dreams mean and trying to cope with them.
Some of the visions triggered by fear are actually reflections of what you subconsciously fear. The good news is that bad dreams are not really going to kill you, they are only trying to draw your attention to the problem. Once you figure out what the root of your worries and fears is, you can start sleeping peacefully at night. It turns out bad dreams don't need to be taken literally. They usually indicate a different fear. For example, if you dream that your teeth are falling out, this does not mean at all that you are afraid of it. Let's take a look at some of the popular nightmare plots and find out what they mean.
1. Loss of teeth
Many people have dreams of losing teeth over the years. It turns out these visions have nothing to do with dental or oral health problems. In fact, such a dream signals that you are afraid of rejection and feel complete powerlessness. Here's the thing: teeth are originally used to bite, tear, and chew. Thus, visions of their loss may appear due to feelings of powerlessness. They occur when a person experiences self-confidence problems.
2. Stalking Stalking in your dreams does not necessarily mean that you are afraid of being followed. Such visions arise from a feeling of general anxiety, even paranoia, which occurs during waking hours. In addition, such a dream can be triggered by overexertion at work or pressure in a relationship. It can also mean that you are having problems with the perception of reality or its denial. So, if you often run away from someone in your nightmares, it may be time to think hard about what you are trying to avoid in real life.
3. Finding a toiletIs there anything worse in life than wanting to go to the toilet when you can't find it? If such a plot often appears in your dreams, it means: you have problems expressing yourself. This is the opinion of psychologist and expert Ian Wallace. In everyday life, he says, the toilet is the place where you go to get rid of what you no longer need. Thus, if in a dream you are looking for a toilet and do not find it, this means that in real life you are faced with a situation that has become unhealthy for you, but at the same time you cannot let it go. Often this is due to the individual needs of a person and the inability to explain them to other people. In real life, he hopes that his needs will be met if he follows the desires of others. But often this behavior only leads tothat those around him just start dumping all their problems on him. So, if you want to stop dreaming about forever searching for a toilet, it's time to dump your emotional baggage in reality.
4. Falling The dream in which you fall can be one of the most disturbing, based on fear. Falling makes most people feel completely out of control, making it difficult to deal with. It turns out that falling dreams reflect how you feel like you can't control yourself while awake, according to Dr. Oz. In addition, you may feel that you are somehow going in the wrong direction in a certain area of your life, perhaps you are drifting along a completely different course than you would like to take. It would be nice to deal with this situation and take complete control of yourself and your life in order to get rid of the dreams in which you often fall.

5. Cheating If you dream that your partner is cheating on you, do not worry, because this does not mean that he is actually unfaithful. Dr. Oz believes that dreaming that your partner is cheating on you with another girl (or a partner with another man) speaks of your feelings deep in your soul and fears that he will leave you and leave. In addition, you may be feeling guilty about not paying enough attention to your significant other. Before you suspect that your partner is cheating and cheating on you, think carefully if there are other issues in your relationship that need to be dealt with as soon as possible.
6. Back to School Sometimes office politics makes you feel as "grown up" as a seventh grade student. Dreams in which you go to school again may mean that you are worried about the situation at work. If in a dream you are late for class, you may be worried about whether you will have time to complete the task of your superiors on time. If you can't find your class, you probably feel like you are out of place. It's okay to admit to yourself all your fears and concerns. If you often have such dreams, it may be time to figure out yourself and your desires.
7. No clothes If you dream that you are naked in a crowded place, it may mean that you feel like you were wrongly accused of something. It also emphasizes your insecurities and feelings of vulnerability in real life. The fact that you had to be naked in a dream may indicate that you are ashamed of some of your words or actions. This is the “naked truth” in the form of dreams: you are opening up to yourself and being honest with yourself, or perhaps you should. As you can see, this dream has several meanings. You will have to independently choose which one is suitable for your particular case, and decide how to move on.
8. Demons If devils or demons appear in your dreams, do not panic. Such a plot may mean that in real life you are negatively influenced by someone else. It could be a bad relationship, a job that needs to be quit as soon as possible, or friends who really aren't. Thus, dreams of demons mean that it's time to take a closer look at your social circle and decide who does not belong in it.
9. Clowns The meaning of dreams in which clowns appear depends on whether you love or hate these artists. If you like them, while you regularly see them in your dreams, then you are looking for more pleasure in life. If clowns scare you, then such dreams may indicate that there is a person next to you who has interests that are different from yours. Now is the time to reevaluate this relationship and decide if you need it. If you are unsure, trust your intuition. No one should dream of clowns.
10. Broken Phone What could be scarier than finding out that your phone is not working? This is the worst dream ever. However, it does not mean that your electronics will soon end. Dreaming about phone problems can signal your inability to communicate in some area of your life, or that you are worried about an emotional connection with someone. You feel that you cannot communicate normally, you cannot establish a connection. You cannot connect with someone on an emotional level.
Conclusion Dreaming based on fears is certainly unpleasant. But in reality, they are the way your subconscious mind warns you of problems in your life. Once you start working on them, the nightmares will disappear. Olga Knyazeva
