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

Someone is chasing you

What if you find yourself being chased by someone in your dreams? It could indicate that you are having issues in your life that you are trying to confront and resolve but you are not quite sure how to. Your dreams are just telling you that you need to face those fears and resolve the issues as soon as possible.

A bridge

Bridges not just connect places but also people and hold great significance when you spot one in your dreams. A bridge in your dream indicates that while you are prepared to move on to the next phase of your life, you are not ready to let go of your past. Lennox says that bridges in the dream suggest all the connections you have in life, and if you notice the water below the bridge to be rough, it means that you are not quite ready to move on to the next part of your life.

A candle

Seeing candles in your dream indicates that you just had a brilliant idea or a creative spark.

Lennox explains that lighting a candle signifies creativity and a dream where we notice candles shows that we are ready for a significant event in our life or some sort of creative action. If you notice a blown-out candle, it could mean that something in your life is about to come to an end.

Climbing something

If you find yourself climbing a mountain or any height in your dream slowly and steadily, it signifies your endurance and the fact that you love taking challenges head-on. Or, it could also mean that you are about to undertake a journey that may be difficult for you, but it will turn out to be highly rewarding.

Looking for something in a cabinet

House is one of the most common elements in any dream, and if you see yourself inspecting a cabinet or trying to find something in the closet, it signifies that you have something to hide or you are feeling ashamed of something you have done. Whatever you find in that closet is the thing that you are trying to hide from others, or you are trying to avoid facing that particular aspect. On the other hand, a closet overflowing with things indicates that you have been avoiding issues for far too long and that they need your attention.

A cowboy or a farm

If you happen to come across cowboys or farms in your dreams, it could mean that you are trying to become self-reliant in your life. Lennox explains that if you are on farmland plowing the fields, it means that you are trying to take responsibility for yourself and your family.

Owning a farm, on the other hand, indicates that you are self-nurturing and that others are dependent on you for their needs.

Becoming a professional athlete

If you are a professional athlete in a dream, you saw recently, it could mean that you are someone who takes pride in being part of a team or a cause that is bigger than yourself.

Wallace explains that if you notice yourself competing in top leagues, it could mean that you believe you are accepted by the society at large and that your skills are recognized by people around you, where working as a unit will help you achieve your goals in life.

Getting married to a stranger

If you have recently joined a new company or have been invited to attend some event and you are not exactly sure what it is that you need to do, or you feel unsure of a new project that you have committed to, it could trigger in the form of a dream in which you are marrying a total stranger. By not knowing the bride or the groom, your dream suggests that you are committing to something that you have no idea of and that you should reconsider whether you want to be a part of it or not.

A Divorce

If you have too many things on your hands and you are finding yourself overwhelmed by the amount of work you need to do, your subconscious might trigger a dream in which you find yourself getting a divorce. However, it does not mean that your marriage is about to end soon. Wallace explains that it simply means that you are finding it extremely difficult to balance all the commitments and promises you have made.

Being unable to speak

Being unable to speak in our dreams is quite a common dream. Wallace points out that such a dream suggests that there is an unresolved tension where you are not able to express your feelings or say what you want to say. He advises that in such a scenario, one should try to address the situations that are making you feel ignored by people around you and to try to find alternative ways to communicate your messages.
