Once Upon a Dream...

“Listen well, you all! The princess will indeed grow in grace and beauty. But before the sunset on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on a spindle of a spinning wheel, and she will fall into a sleep like death!” Maleficent cursed. Have you watched the movie Maleficent? Where an evil faerie cursed a little child and make her fall asleep forever. Sleep is important to us and sometimes we can encounter strange dreams, would you want to know what the meaning behind your dreams are?
According to Psychologist named Kendra Cherry “A dream can include any of the images, thoughts and emotions that are experienced during sleep. Dreams can be filled with joyful emotions or frightening imagery; focused and understandable or unclear and confusing.” There are many theories about why we dream and what purpose dreams are for but some researchers suggests that dreams serve no real purpose while others suggests that dreams are connected to mental, emotional, and our physical well-being. Some people thinks that dreams have meanings in them, warnings even premonitions. This are 10 Common Dream Symbols that you might have encountered.
Animals- often represents that a part of you feels connected to nature and survival. Being chased by it often suggests that you’re holding back your emotions such as fear and aggression.
Babies- often represents a new start or a need to feel loved.
Being Chased- most common dream symbol in all cultures. It means you’re feeling threatened so reflect on who is chasing you (they might be also symbolic)
Crosses- often interpreted depending on your religious beliefs. Some see it as symbolizing balance, death, or an end to a particular phase of life.
Death- of a friend or a loved one represents change (endings or new beginnings).
Falling- a common dream symbol that is about letting go, losing control or somehow failing after success.
Food- is said to symbolize
