In a chase dream, the dreamer is often trying to escape from a dangerous pursuer. As the chase continues, the dreamer tries to outrun or outwit the pursuer, but often finds that they can no longer run, or are trapped in an improbably small space. The pursuer may be a murderer or a gang of terrorists. For children, it is often a monster or the police.

Having a chase dream usually indicates that the dreamer is feeling anxious about some aspect of their waking life, and they are putting themselves under pressure to conform to certain beliefs, or allowing someone else to put them under pressure.

Dream Message
Usually the person chasing the dreamer in the dream and in waking life is the dreamer’s own authentic self. The dreamer feels pressured in some aspect of their life and these repressed feelings are projected into the threatening pursuer.

The best way to resolve this situation is to turn to face the pursuer in the dream and ask it what it needs. The answer is often surprising and easily accomplished.

This dream usually dramatises a feeling of vulnerability and exposure in waking life. It is particularly common to people who have accepted a promotion, gone off to a new job, or who are coming into public view for some reason.

It is often experienced by anyone who performs in the public eye. A new relationship can cause these dreams as well, because when feelings and needs are exposed to another person we feel vulnerable or emotionally naked. Celebrities often dream of attending important events naked as they place themselves on show to the watching public in waking life.

The dream usually indicates a positive and healthy progression in our lives, as we are being invited to step into unfamiliar territory and to display our unique talents. Although you may feel terrified that you are bare naked, no one else in the dream usually seems to be that bothered, reassuring you that others are very confident in your talents and that you are perhaps worrying unnecessarily.

Dream Message
You can be feeling emotionally naked in your personal life, or exposed in some personal way. We usually feel far more vulnerable than we truly are.

It often takes time to grow into a new role, and taking risks means that may sometimes feel vulnerable as we adjust to our new surroundings.

Anything that feels like ‘an uphill battle’ in waking life may result in this type of dream. The route uphill may be a steep road, a rocky path or a sheer cliff in more extreme cases.

People completing a project, going through intensive professional training, or tackling greater challenges often experience these various climbing dreams.

There is an implication in these dreams is the fact that the progress we make will be advantageous or beneficial, and that there is usually some kind of accomplishment or improvement being sought. However, the steeper the route, the greater the potential drop below the dreamer.

Dream Message
You have a fundamental drive to complete a task that you identify strongly with.  The burdens in these dreams often reflect behaviours that weigh us down during waking life.

You may be experiencing self doubt about your ability to realise your ambitions, but you will definitely achieve your goal if you trust your inner vision and just keep climbing.

A dream of finding money suggests that the dreamer is becoming aware of their intrinsic value to themselves and others, from a spiritual, rather than a material perspective. It can also indicate a recent success or imminent achievement in their waking life in which their self worth is visibly manifested. Often this dream indicates that the dreamer possesses special artistic or creative abilities that they are in the process of becoming aware of. Sometimes the dreamer feels guilty when they find the money which may indicate that their self esteem is currently lower than normal, and they should value themselves more than they currently do.

Dream Message
You are worth more than you think you are, and should not feel reticent about taking the chance to prove your value to yourself and others. As you become more aware of your own self worth, you will become more confident at exploring opportunities in your waking life that are to your advantage.

Flying dreams are hallmarked by a sense of freedom, exhilaration and mastery. They are most common to the person who does something well, and feels transported by their ability to perform a task.

They may also be experienced by anyone who achieves a tremendous sense of exhilaration because of a recent experience. Public speakers, professional communicators, and people in the media often have these flying dreams.

The thing these dreams tend to have in common is a recent experience of exhilaration, pleasure and freedom, and a feeling of release from the rules and restrictions of everyday life.

Dream Message
This is frequently associated with some activity you enjoy that exhilarates you, or a sense of liberation. If there is an obstacle or problem in the dream, what might be restricting your expression in waking life and how can you respond to that obstacle more effectively?

Often we dream that we have committed a crime, particularly that we have murdered somebody. We try to conceal our actions and to cover up any evidence of our criminal activities and there is a pervading sense of anxiety.

The crime we have committed usually represents a conscious choice that we have made in waking life to ignore some of our individual needs and talents in order to gain social acceptance.

However, this often makes us feel guilty because there is a vital aspect of ourselves that we are ignoring, and anxious about opportunities that we have left behind.

Dream Message
You have unique hidden talents and skills that you are trying to conceal from yourself and others. You should recognise that that the creative expression of these talents is vital to your growth, and to be true to yourself, you need to encourage them to blossom in your waking life.

You find yourself trying to cram too many things into your luggage as you realise that you have barely enough time to get to the station or the airport. You arrive to make your connection, and find that you are just too late.
The train or plane often represents your desired progress in your career or personal life, and the inability to make the connection reflects your frustration as you try to achieve the satisfaction you crave.

The items that you are trying to pack into your bags often reflect habits or behaviours that are no longer valid, and are now holding you back.

Dream Message
You may be taking on too much in your waking life in order to achieve the fulfilment you desire. You can reach your goals more effectively by being more aware of your deeper priorities, and leaving unnecessary baggage behind.

Listen to your own internal rhythms instead of constantly trying to beat the clock.

A recurring dream is part of a series of dreams in which a particular image or event repeatedly appears. Sometimes they are associated with stress and trauma experienced during childhood, often in the early teenage years.

Recurring dreams are often triggered when we are transitioning from one stage of life to another and when we are finding it difficult to resolve underlying tensions and anxieties in our waking lives.

Rather than being viewed as something unpleasant or fearful, a recurring dream is an opportunity for healthy growth and deeper insight.

The more that we engage with and explore our recurring dreams, the more successful we will be in resolving the stresses and traumas we experience in waking life.

After a recurring dream has been explored and its message absorbed, it will disappear, leaving us space to create new dreams.

Teeth often appear to be related to our subjective sense of power; including the ability to take in and manage new experiences, as well as the ability to speak out and communicate our needs and support our own decisions and preferences.

In waking life, the dreamer may be trying to move forward and make healthy choices in situations where their options may be restricted or imposed. They feel they do not have the power to give them the freedom of choice they need.

These dreams often recur during periods of increased stress, particularly when the dreamer is caught in a dilemma and must try to satisfy opposing points of view.

Dream Message
You may feel restricted by a certain situation, usually professionally, or may have recently given up on a decision you made previously. You may feel that you no longer have the strength to go in the direction you have chosen.

You should perhaps reconsider your goals, and more creative ways to achieve them.

This dream recurs for people who have a tendency to take on too much and then judge themselves quite harshly for not measuring up to their own impossibly high standards.

It is most common to people with a strong track record of achievements who drive themselves too hard, usually due to an inner fear of failure.

The dreamer also usually feels personally accountable for the success or failure of projects that they are involved in.

The dream surfaces during periods of high stress, transition into new responsibilities, and periods when the dreamer is committing themselves yet again.

Dream Message
You may find it difficult to live up to the expectations and demands you have created for yourself. Conserve your energy and consolidate your position.

By taking a more measured approach to the tasks you set yourself, you will find that you will achieve them more easily and enjoyably.
