Common Dream Themes

Dreams are a universal human experience, with certain themes appearing across all cultures. Regardless of background, people commonly dream of falling, flying, being chased, or losing teeth. These shared dream themes reflect common psychological experiences and emotions, such as fear, loss of control, and the desire for freedom. Psychologist Carl Jung proposed that these recurring symbols, known as "archetypes,"appear in dreams worldwide, representing fundamental aspects of the human psyche. For example, flying often symbolizes freedom, while falling indicates insecurity or anxiety.
