Dreams on Drowning

Dreams about drowning can be interpreted a few different ways. The most common interpretation is that you are feeling overwhelmed. If there are too many things happening in your life, you may feel like you can hardly take a breath. You might be afraid of losing control. Anything from deadlines or, a heavy homework load, to friend or family drama, or responsibilities at home can make you feel trapped. If things in your waking life feel hopeless, this dream can be a sign that you have hit a dead end. Water as a dream symbol is associated with emotion, so think about the feelings that are bogging you down in life and what steps you can take to let go of some of the pressure you’re feeling.

On a more positive note, this dream can also symbolize rebirth which means some exciting changes are ahead. Perhaps you want to take up a new hobby or learn a new language. A new friend in your life is also a positive change. Or, you might want to sign up for a fun extracurricular activity at school. This will help you get there!

Dreams: You are Being Watched

If you’re having dreams about being watched, that can be a sign that you feel like you can’t relax because of all the expectations that are being placed on you. It might be time to set some boundaries. You deserve your privacy, and shouldn’t have to feel like every little thing you are doing is being judged. It is also possible that something is bothering you that you can’t seem to get out of your head -- maybe a comment someone made about you or an awkward moment you wish you could do over. Protect yourself and pay attention to the energies that are clinging to you.

Somebody (or Something) is Chasing You

This is one of the most common—and most frightening—dreams you can have. It’s the sort of chest-pounding, heart-stopping dream that makes you shoot up out of bed, right before the chaser lays their hands (or claws) on you. This dream has to do with feelings of stress and anxiety in a person’s waking life. It can be the result of your brain’s fight or flight in response to something that is threatening your well- being. Some things you will want to notice in your dream are who or what is chasing you, how you are feeling in the dream, and whether you escape whatever is chasing you.

Chase dreams are also associated with avoidance. A chase dream can mean that you are running from something in your waking life. It could be a situation you don’t want to deal with, a person you need to hold accountable, or a fear that needs to be confronted. Probably, the things that happen in this dream indicate how you cope when problems and pressures come your way. If you know the person chasing you in your dream, it’s possible that you have an ongoing issue with that person in reality. The chaser can also represent some part of yourself or some feelings that you have been keeping down. Let your intuition guide you—chances are you already know what this dream is trying to tell you, you just need to confront the truth. It’s time to stop hiding. Once you face the thing you’ve been avoiding, you will have much more peace of mind.

Wearing the Wrong Clothes

Clothes symbolize the version of yourself that you show to other people, or how others perceive you. If you are having a dream that you are dressed inappropriately, whether that’s wearing a wedding dress to a baseball game or gym clothes to the school dance, your subconscious self might be trying to tell you that it’s time to stop worrying about how people perceive you and to start expressing yourself freely. We tend to dress up based on what sort of image we want to show to others, but in putting up this sort of front, you might be stifling your own individuality—trading who you really are for who you think others want you to be. What your clothes feel like can tell you something about yourself as well: too-tight clothes are a sign that there is something in your waking life that is holding you back, while clothes that are too loose can indicate that you are feeling inadequate. It is possible that you are also in a circumstance that you feel unprepared for.

Being Naked in Public

You’re going about your day, walking to school, shopping at the mall, riding the bus, when suddenly you look down to see that you are completely naked. Maybe you duck behind a tree or desperately search your backpack for something to cover up with. This is a particularly common dream, and it is also one that can have a variety of meanings depending on the context. It is important to recognize the feelings you associate with your dream, as this will help you to uncover its meaning.

Most often, naked dreams are associated with feelings of insecurity. Nudity represents vulnerability—your clothes act as a shield to protect you, and, once that shield is gone, you may feel exposed and defenseless. In your waking life you may be too concerned about how others perceive you, or perhaps you are in a situation that is making you feel helpless. Nudity might also indicate that there is something in your life you are trying to hide from the people around you, such as a secret, or an insecurity that you feel might bring you embarrassment if your friends knew about it. If you are in a situation where you are hoping to impress others, your dream might be telling you that you are trying to be someone else. You aren’t being true to yourself, and you fear that if your classmates find out who you really are, they might judge you. Being naked in your dream can be a hint that you are unprepared for something as well. Do you feel unprepared for a school project? A test? There may be something in your waking life that has caught you off guard and is causing you anxiety. Your subconscious might even be trying to tell you that you’re holding yourself to a standard that is too high for you to meet.

Rarest Dreams of All: Lucid Dreaming

Has this happened to you, Dear Reader? You are in a dream and aware that you are in a sleeping and dreaming state and can actually direct your own show! This kind of dream is rare, and it is not well understood at all. It does sound pretty great to be able to control your dream and make it happen as you want. There are even training courses where you can learn to become a lucid dreamer. Lucid dreaming is when you are aware you are dreaming while you are asleep. Some people compare this to experiencing a real-life video game. May all your dreams be happy ones!
