Scientific interpretation of dreams
It can't be helped: everyone has nightmares. If you are curious to know what is behind them, read this list.
1. Pursuit
Nightmare: A big beast, a monster, someone bad, etc. is chasing you.
Meaning: Most likely, you avoid something, often your own feelings. If you ignore feelings of anger or hatred, your subconscious mind tells you that it's time to say goodbye to them once and for all. Another possible reason is that you are avoiding responsibility.
2. Fall

Nightmare: You fall endlessly. Another option is slipping or losing balance.
Meaning: It all depends on the type of fall. If you can't resist, then you need to let go of some situation that you are struggling to control. If you are feeling awkward, your life is out of balance - you may be working too hard or giving too much in a relationship. If you fall straight down, it symbolizes the fear of failure. If you slip or stumble, it means you are afraid to make a mistake. If someone pushes you, you feel threatened by someone in real life.
3. Exam
Nightmare: You are studying for an unrealistically difficult exam, or you are failing it.
Meaning: This common dream is dreamed not only by schoolchildren, but also by adults. Oddly enough, it helps us work with a vengeance to achieve our goals.
4. Public nudity
Nightmare: You are giving a presentation at work, walking down the street or chatting with a friend, and suddenly you realize that you are not wearing anything!
Meaning: This dream denotes a feeling of discomfort, vulnerability and defenselessness. This usually happens when you are hiding something or want to keep it a secret.
5. Loss of teeth
Nightmare: Your teeth are falling out.
Meaning: Loss of teeth can symbolize the loss of youth, money, self-esteem, security, courage, sexual strength, etc., but more often than not, it means that you have big changes in your life - such as moving or changing jobs. Nothing wrong.
6. Death
Nightmare: You (or your loved one) are dying or badly injured. For example, say you have a terminal illness, or your loved one is involved in a fatal accident.
Meaning: Don't worry: it means something new in life. Maybe you are breaking an old habit, selling your house, or changing jobs. They also help us cope with the loss of loved ones in real life.

Nightmare: You got lost or lost a valuable item.
Meaning: If you dream that you are lost in a forest or a labyrinth, it means that you do not know where to go next in real life. If you dream that you have lost something of value, most likely this indicates that in real life you have lost motivation.
10. Loss of control
Nightmare: You are driving a car (plane, boat, etc.), and suddenly it gets out of control or just stops working.
