What do they mean? Typical dreams Certain dreams are fairly widespread and seem to have a universal meaning relating to problems and matters that concern all of us. Take, for instance, dreams of falling. These dreams are usually about our fears of losing control over a situation or ourselves. Here is a list of ten typical dreams. Look at the headings of each of the paragraphs below. • Are any of these dreams familiar to you? Read through the interpretations.

One is that the train symbolises the journey through life to the grave, and that by missing it, the dreamer expresses his/her desire not to die. The other one states that such dreams show a fear of being left behind in the race for life or may indicate a wish to arrive too late to solve the problem. 2 Looking for a room This dream is particularly common among women. If the dreamer is a single woman, it usually relates to her wish to get married. In married women this dream reflects a desire to find the true self (the correct room). 3 Climbing Climbing in a dream usually signifies striving to achieve something which is particularly important to the dreamer but which normally requires a lot of effort, e.g. an unfulfilled ambition. 112 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
