Everyone has undoubtely suffered from a nightmare once. It is usually not a pleasant experience. Yet nightmares seem to be a normal part of your dreams. Pleasant dreams are usually fed by intense desires and fiery wishes. Nightmares, on the other hand, are caused by feelings of excitement, stress and anxiety. Nightmares, just like pleasant dreams, should never be taken literally.
- Damage to your house or theft of your property
It is never nice to dream about a destroyed house or about stolen things that were yours. In your nightmare, a house is a symbol of your own person. The appearance of your house symbolizes your self-image, while the interior reflects your inner feelings. If your house or possessions are damaged in your nightmare, it means that you actually feel abused. Stolen or lost possessions in your nightmare indicate that you feel cheated. Perhaps you fear that something that you find very valuable will be taken from you.
- Becoming a victim of a terrible disaster
Another common topic of a nightmare: dreams that you are going through a catastrophic disaster. That can be a natural disaster or a train disaster, a fire, a collapsing building or any catastrophe. Dreaming that you are the victim of such a disaster indicates that you unknowingly fear that you will no longer be able to cope with your daily problems and ultimately become the victim of this. Do you regularly have nightmares about disasters? Then find out which difficulties you are being overwhelmed with and which problems are likely to crush you.
- Getting sick, getting hurt or die
However, a nightmare in which you become incurably ill, seriously injured or even die, has a deeper meaning. Being afraid of being hurt emotionally, sometimes manifests itself in nightmares in which you are physically injured or sick. A dream of dying indicates in the best case that a certain phase in your life has been completed and that you are ready for a new phase. However, not all nightmares about dying are so innocent. It can also mean that you are no longer able to cope with some difficulties and you risk losing them.
- Being chased or attacked
A well-known nightmare is this one in which you are being chased or attacked. In your dream you can respond in two ways: flee or fight back. These are the two responses to a threatening situation that humans have been using since ancient times. A nightmare in which you are being chased or attacked arises from unrest or tension in your mind. There are many factors in your life that make you worried or tense. The way in which you react in your nightmare (fleeing or fighting back) tells a lot about the way in which you deal with threats, fear and constant stress in daily life.
