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?

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.

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

- 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.
