I guess I’m really lucky that I remember my dreams just about every morning when I wake up. Dreams can tell you a lot about what’s going on in your life, what you’re fearful of or even what’s coming up in the future.
Most dreams are really easy to interpret. The trick is to follow your intuition and take note of how your body feels and what kind of reaction is evoked when you consider the events of your dream. Every icon in your dream is unique to you. This means an item or person in your dream may mean something completely different in someone else’s dream.
Say you dreamt that you were eating oranges in the middle of the forest. What do oranges mean to you? What is the first thing you think of when you consider an orange? Does it evoke any emotions or feelings? Now do the same for a forest. Once you’ve interpreted each element of the dream, you can then form a conclusion or interpretation.
My reoccurring dreams interpreted
One really easy reoccurring dream that I have is about a friend of mine that lives in London. Every now and again I dream that I arrive in London on a holiday and have forgotten to tell her I’ll be there. Then I spend my entire holiday looking for her because I don’t have her current address or phone number. This dream is telling me to keep in contact with my friend and not lose touch.
Another reoccurring dream that I have, which is really common with people who are stressed, takes place back in school. I walk into an exam without studying and spend the whole exam stressing and asking myself why I haven’t prepared for the exam. This dream always occurs around times of great work or study stress in my life. Very literal.
Most dreams aren’t as literal or so easy to interpret, but if you write it all down and pull out elements and listen to your intuition you’ll find you can usually come up with some sort of conclusion. The best person to interpret the dream is yourself because, remember – those icons in your dream are unique to you.
In my opinion dream interpretation books which list symbols and their meanings are a complete waste of money. I bought a couple of these books when I was a teenager and they now sit in my bookshelf more for a good laugh. It’s crazy how detailed and specific the interpretations in these books. It’s silly really, how can one item possibly mean the same thing to everybody? Each person has their own experiences and their own ideas.
Have said all that, sometimes you may need a little help interpreting a dream. I find getting friends to brainstorm with me is always a good way. Keeping in mind that telling another person your dream can sometimes be very interesting to you but the most boring conversation to them!
If you have a dream that you want help with, especially if it’s reoccurring, write a comment and I’ll do my best to help out

What do you think it means when you dream that all your top teeth fall out? I’ve heard this kind of dream is common. I have only had it once but it felt very real at the time.
Yes, this is a very common dream. Consider the elements of your dream. What do teeth and teeth falling out mean to you?
I’ve had a similar dream which I’ve put down to not looking after myself or something in my life properly. It’s like if I don’t brush my teeth they’ll all fall out, so there’s something important in my life that I’m neglecting.
I think the ‘dream books’ say teeth are stress related which is kind of the same thing.
I hope you can still interpret dreams.I know dreaming a white wedding dress means death, weird huh.But what does it mean when you dream yourself into movies and tv shows? That happens in my dreams a fair bit of the time.
