For centuries we have wondered about dreams and their meaning.
At the end of the 19th century, Carl Jung, a psychotherapist known for archetypes and the collective unconscious, began to conclude that access to dreams opens the door to the realm of consciousness and spirit. However, there is science to what happens during sleep. A research team of scientists from the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratory in Kyoto, Japan studied brain scans to identify dream imagery. They concluded that we see our dreams in the same way we see our waking world.
To analyze our dreams, we must examine how we engage in our daily activities. Are these nocturnal visions repetitions of the visual stimuli of what we see in our waking hours or are they guidance messages from outside? What do these symbols mean? How do we interpret and analyze them to give them a message?

A dream about flying indicates the need to achieve your desires. Where are you going? How do you get there? Are you having trouble navigating life? Flying dreams are recharged when we wake up. There is a sense of freedom, of being able to do anything our way. - Waterfall
When we dream of water, it often represents emotional states. Water symbolizes purity and purity. Seeing a waterfall is a wonderful sign. It represents the passing away of the old and a new beginning. - If you saw a waterfall in your dream, ask yourself the following questions: Is the waterfall small or large? How are you handling your obstacles? Is the waterfall in a dark jungle or a beautiful beach?
- Teeth
Dreams about teeth are very common. Not all dreams of teeth represent old age. Pulling a tooth symbolizes something coming out, while a rotten tooth symbolizes fear and anxiety. Dreaming of a tooth falling out is the most typical of all dental dreams. They are often caused by a new stressful situation: a new job, fear of loss, lack of strength in a relationship, or hidden lies.

- Houses
The house symbolizes different aspects of the self and personality. Depending on the type of house or different rooms, the description can be deepened. Home is about safety and comfort. The attic symbolizes hidden memories, while the basement represents intuition and the unconscious mind.

- Money
Money dreams allow us to wake up with such gratitude. Dreaming about money is about luck and how we perceive our worth.

- Fire
The vision of fire can have several meanings depending on the circumstances of the dream. Seeing fire from a distance symbolizes passion and change, while playing with fire is a warning against risky actions. If you dream of lighting a fire, it symbolizes suppressed anger.
Ask yourself: Do you avoid risky situations? Do you spend your days putting out fires?
- Naked
Dreams of being naked are very common. They relate to our fears. If the dream is that someone else is naked, it represents the “bare truth” of the situation or foretells an illicit relationship. It also means loss of respect. Nakedness is the admission of flaws and shortcomings. Just like when you’re sober, it’s about how much of yourself you reveal to the world.
