The Hidden Meanings Behind Some Of The Most Common Dreams (5 of 6)

Being blind

Being blind in your dream suggests that you are worried about a blind spot or feel that you are overlooking some aspects of your life that you should not. Lennox says that being unable to see in your dream indicates that there are certain aspects in your life that you are not able to focus on properly. You may have to rely on your senses other than eyes to see such situations and then you need to react accordingly.

Playing a board game

What does it mean when you find yourself playing a board game in your dream? If you find yourself doing that, it means that you are trying to resolve conflicts or competitive situations in your life in a civilized or humane manner rather than being aggressive. If you are in the middle of playing games like Scrabble or Monopoly in your dream, it could point to the fact that you are someone who prefers to keep emotions in check while dealing with tough situations.

An explosion

Bombs are associated with destructive elements, and rightly so, as they tear apart the place, they are detonated in. However, that doesn’t always hold true when it comes to seeing explosions in your dreams. It just indicates that you are getting ready to move on and make a major change in your life. Lennox also advises focusing on the surrounding context in order to arrive at a better conclusion for what that explosion might mean.

The thing or person you see getting destroyed in that explosion is the thing or person that holds the meaning in terms of your dream. That aspect of your life is the one that should need a major change, and that you are ready for such change.

Appearing for an exam unprepared

A very common dream situation is one where we end up in an exam hall without realizing we are not ready for that test. Maybe you think you ended up studying the wrong topic or you cannot make out the words that are written on the question paper, the real meaning behind such a dream is that you are trying to examine your life in a critical manner in order to make a rational decision.

But what does it indicate if we show up for the test and are still not prepared?

Showing up at an exam unprepared is not always a negative thing, it could also point to something positive. It could mean that you are a person who always likes to prepare everything to perfect, and wants to do things the right way. Anderson says that people having such dreams are more often than not the ones who always score and perform well in such situations, and it is normal to fear and anxiety of feeling unprepared that drives you towards excellence.

Unable to find the bathroom

Another common dream scenario is when people are unable to find the bathroom when they need it. Such dreams indicate that you are not fulfilling or not trying to fulfill your basic needs. Or, it could also indicate the fact that you are unable to express your basic needs in regular life, and that is what triggers such dreams where you cannot find the bathroom.

Dreams where you need to use the toilet

Dreams, where you are in need of using the bathroom, could indicate that you just want to let go of all the crap in your life. You wish to declutter your life and let go of all the negativity from your life, says Anderson.

And what about dreams where you need to pee?

Again, it could just mean that you are in actual need of the toilet in regular life and that your subconscious is trying to tell you just that by showing you water or telling you that you need a bathroom desperately in your dreams.

Dreams where you are accused of a crime

Dreams can be torturous at times, and if you find yourself being accused of committing a crime, it could mean a whole lot of things. Usually, such dreams are triggered due to a sense of feeling exposed or vulnerable. Or, you are trying to hide something in your life and it does not necessarily have to be a negative thing. The crime that we commit in dreams points to our actions or conscious choices in real life where we deliberately ignore part of our life or elements of our personality in order to win someone’s validation.

Entering various kinds of new places

If you live in a huge bungalow or end up at different new places in your dreams, it is a sign that you are exploring different possibilities and these might lead to some exciting opportunities for you to grow and expand in the times to come. Wallace advises that if you are having such dreams, you should open yourself to all the new opportunities coming your way and not reject any. You never how or when you will end up hitting that jackpot!
