10 most common dreams

I found this interesting and wanted to share..

A New Study Finds the Ten Most Common Recurring Dreams:

Calvin Kai-Ching Yu is a researcher in Hong Kong, and he just published the results of a study on dreams.

Â He surveyed people across different cultures and countries to figure out the most common recurring dreams in the world . . . those are dreams that you keep having over and over.Â

And here are the ten most common, in no particular order.

Being chased.

Teeth falling out.

Losing control of a car.

Getting in trouble in school, or not studying.

Searching for a place but not finding it.

Falling.

Eating delicious foods.

Not being able to find a toilet.

Flying.

Having a celebrity fall in love with you.

How about bumping into an old flame at an airport! I had that one the night before my wedding - someone I hadn't seen in over 10 years. I have definitely had most of these dreams.

I have had a few of them. I usually have reoccurring dreams.

I think I've had at least half of these dreams, but I don't think I'vr had them as recurring dreams, unless 20 years having passed before that dream was had again, constitutes recurring.

I've had falling dreams, and loss of control of a vehicle, but that's about it.

Interesting! When I was young, I used to have "being chased" recurring dreams very often. They were always two different dreams and both involved little people in them. I still remember them pretty clearly, although it's been at least 15 years since I've had them.

That's so weird, I've dreamt a few times about my teeth falling out.

I'd have to say that the teeth falling out dream is the one I've experienced the most. I've had the falling dream a few times. I haven't had a someone chasing me dream since childhood.

I don't think I've had any of the others.

Thanks for posting to Point Taken.

I had the same falling dream for most of high school and college. Same place, same dream every few nights for like 6 years. I no longer have it, but I could describe it in detail.

Interesting list. I've had most of these. Never dreamed a celebrity fell in love with me and never dreamed I was losing control of a car. I have a variation on not studying for a test. I graduated from high school about 40 years ago and I still on occasion dream that I am back in high school on a test day. I am prepared for the test but I can't find the room! LOL

I have had dreams where my teeth fall out. I am often chased in my dreams - or trying to get away from some unseen terror. I do have an occasional celebrity dream. It seems I know that I am going to meet them yet they never turn up or something.

Wow, I have had a lot of those, nice to know that I'm not alone. But, I've never had one with my teeth falling out or anything about celebrities.

I used to have a couple that weren't mentioned: Being late for work/or not getting to work at all. And, people not wanting to leave my workplace when we are trying to close. The last one actually would happen in real life, too. We would try to close and people would not leave!

I don't have to one about not finding a toilet. In my dreams, I would find a toilet, but I could not find the privacy when I tried to use it. There was always a missing door or people walking in.

my sister has recurring dreams of finding a chest full of jewels. I wonder what that could mean. It's the recurring part that I find surprising. I have one time dreams and thats it.
