The Hidden Meanings Behind Some Of The Most Common Dreams (3 of 6)

Being in an empty room

If you see yourself in an empty or unused room in your dream, it might be indicative of the fact that you have talents that are still unexplored. And that the more you try tapping into that dormant potential, the more success you will achieve in your life.

Feeling scared in an empty room

If that empty room you are in makes you feel scared or anxious, it might signify something new taking place in your life. If you open the door to the room and find the inside scary or creepy, it means you have recently encountered something that is shocking about yourself, says Anderson. It could be something really old, or something you have not noticed before.

Or, it could be a part of your life, such as your job or your relationship and you are trying to open the door that you shut some time ago.

An out-of-control car

If you notice an out-of-control car in the dream – may be one speeding towards you or you are trapped in one – it could indicate that you are not in control when it comes to fulfilling your plans in life. In such a situation, one should let go and allow our basic instincts to create the best possible path for us.

But what if it is a regular car?

If you are in a regular car, though, it could mean the exact opposite. A car represents the instrument through which you are trying to progress in life and achieve your target. So, a dream where you are in control of a car means you are steadily moving forward and things are going in the right direction when it comes to achieving success in your life.

A stolen or lost car

This again has relevance to where we want to be in life. A situation where you find your car lost or stolen in your dream signifies the lack of a proper plan that could steer us towards success in life. If you find yourself desperately looking for your car, it could mean that you have lost all the fire and desire to achieve your goals and are actively trying to figure out methods to claim it back and get back on track again.

An animal

Depending on what animal you spot in your dreams and how they affect your feelings, it could mean a whole lot of things. For example, a large bear will not indicate the exact thing as a giant hawk flying over your head. However, any time you spot an animal in your dream, it could be a clear sign that you should stop looking for new ways to get through a difficult situation and instead focus on your natural instincts.

An attic

House in dreams usually signifies the sense of pride and self you feel, with each room signifying a unique aspect of you. So, having an attic in your dreams usually points to your memories or intellect, while a dusty place indicates that you are in a place which you have not visited for a while, points out Lennox.

A baby

Having a baby in your dream is an indication that you are pondering over the untapped potential inside you or some new initiatives that you have undertaken that are yet to blossom to their full potential. Or, a baby in your dream could also point to the numerous responsibilities you have in your life.

Missing shoes

If you are trying to find your missing shoes in your dream, it could be an indication of the trouble you are facing with regards to a recent situation in your life. Or, it could also have a connection with a crucial decision you need to make and the turmoil associated with it.

Losing something precious

We all misplace things in our day-to-day lives, but what exactly does it mean if we do it in our dreams? Misplaced items that are valuable or precious to you in our dreams signify our lack of value in real life. According to Wallace, if you are trying to find your lost wallet or purse, it could indicate the lack of significance to others and the low self-esteem one has.
