Welcome back everyone, have I ever been in any of your dreams?
I know thats a weird question to ask but todays video is about dreams and nightmares so yeah,
just thought Id ask.
I mean, statistically - one of you has - Id love to hear it - but thats not quite why
were here today - in this video were gonna take a look at some of the scary things you
dream and figure out what they mean - you wont wanna miss out on these lessons, they
could change your whole life.
My name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Scary Dream Meanings You Shouldnt Ignore.
Also while Ive got you, don't forget to check out this video over here, our Top 10 Scary
Warnings From The Future.
Some of you guys have requested more of our future style videos - this is one of them
- its one of my favourites - go and check it out right after this video!
Starting off at number 10 we have Death.
I think its universally agreed that death isnt a nice thing to have in your dreams - except
if its the death of a sworn enemy - and even then you might want to talk to someone.
When it comes to death dreams though, there are many different types and psychologists
treat them differently.
New parents might often have nightmares of the death of their children - a sign of their
anxiety of being a new parent.
The death of a partner might be someone unconsciously admitting to themselves that they are lacking
in a certain quality that their partner possessed.
Of course, the one I imagine you all want to hear is the death of yourself - thats a
scary one.
A lot of people say that this dream means youre going to die in real life but ive heard
other opinions.
Some say that this could mean you feel like you are always making sacrifices and no one
notices, or that its time to put yourself first.
In this way, you can consider it a wake up call … even though its an unpleasant dream
to have …
Moving on to number 9 we have Being Naked.
Be honest, for a lot of people - being exposed in front of strangers is a pretty scary thought
and sometimes it bleeds into peoples dreams - they find themselves suddenly naked infront
of 1 or many other people - at best its incredibly embarrassing - at worst its terrifying.
Some say that nudity symbolizes being caught off guard.
Being naked in a public place may suggest that you are unprepared for an upcoming task.
This makes sense if you think about it because clothes are a literal barrier between us and
the outside world.
In our dreams - the loss of clothing represents our protection from the outside world being
stripped away - we feel mentally exposed and so our mind presents that as us being physically
exposed.
Wow, I think I kinda broke that one down entirely by myself.
Maybe Im in the wrong job …
Moving on to number 8 we have Falling.
I hate this one.
Youre fast asleep, youre having a nice dream and suddenly - youre brain decides to throw
you off a building or a cliff face.
I dunno about you guys but normally, by this point, I wake up - I always wake up.
If you keep sleeping though - firstly - good job - but secondly - what does it all mean?
Well, according to experts, it may be your subconscious way of telling you that things
are getting out of control in your life - this could be relate to fear of not achieving success
or just simply fear of failure - specifically a fear that your riskier choice in life may
result in your downfall.
If you keep falling in your dreams every single night - this is probably your subconscious
telling you to address your fear of failure and the associated anxiety.
Next up at the number 7 spot we have Being Chased.
You ever had one of those nightmares?
Youre running from something - a person, a monster, a family member thats become possessed,
whatever, and they wont stop chasing you.
You know if you stop for even a second theyll find you.
Eventually, you manage to find a hiding place or you think youve lost them - and theyre
suddenly behind you - its not fun - but what does it mean on a deeper level?
Well, some say that being chased could be a sign that youre being overstretched at work
or school or perhaps feeling pressures in your relationship.
It could also mean that you are having trouble dealing with reality or being in denial about
something.
Don't worry - you can deal with it though - it cant be scarier than being chased by
a monster.
Moving on to number 6 we have Teeth.
Have you ever had a scary teeth related nigthmare?
The most common one by far - is, of course - teeth falling out.
There are many different theories about this one.
For Sigmund Freud, teeth falling out was a sign of sexual repression - of course - classic
Freud.
Other psychologists take a different approach and say that teeth falling out could be a
sign of insecurity, especially about a personal loss.
It makes sense really - your teeth are such a solid part of you - theyre also what we
see when people smile - losing teeth in a dream is like youre losing some other solid
part of you and youre scared of being exposed.
It could also mean youre going through life changes, growing pains or youre worrying about
getting older.
Yeah, turns out teeth falling out could mean a lot of different things …
Moving on to number 5 we have Fire.
Personally, I don't think Ive ever had a dream with fire in - I don't know why - but other
people have reported nightmares where everything around them is burning in an inferno.
What does that mean?
Well, one interpretation is that fire is a symbol of strong feelings or passion.
If you dream of your childhood home being on fire then that could be a symbol of emotional
chaos you may be currently experiencing because of childhood events.
There is some good news though, some people say that fire in dreams is actually a cleansing
process.
It might seem scary when youre in the dream but the fire may represent getting rid of
the old and entering a new phase in your life - and that sounds quite nice.
Next up at number 4 we have Killing Someone.
This isnt a very common dream but a lot of people do have dreams where they physically
hurt someone.
They may not be a violent person in real life and they may not even have a problem with
the victim in real life - but for some reason they find themselves being violent or even
killing someone in their dream.
If yovue had this happen to you then youll be pleased to know this does not make you
a killer in the making.
Its much more likely that you feel like something in your life is ending or should go, perhaps
theres a dramatic change happening in your life, maybe you feel hostility towards another
person or you could even feel guilt … or … or … maybe you really do wanna kill
someone.
You should probably see someone about that if thats the case.
Next up at number 3 we have School Drama.
For those of you still at school - you may not understand this - for everyone else - this
is one of the scariest dreams out there.
Ive not been in school for quite a while now but still, every once in a while - I have
a nightmare where Im back at school.
Usually, this involves me realizing I have an important exam in a few hours and Im late
for it or havent done any work - actually I have a few memories like that … the point
is, adults report having dreams like this for decades after they leave school.
Why is this?
Well some says its linked to your job situation.
Our brains form deep links with school from a young age - it can become the basis for
all work related anxiety later in life.
So, if youre out of school and keep having nightmares about scary teachers or exams - maybe
have a think about your job and career choices …
Moving on to number 2 we have Need The Toilet.
OK, so as nightmares go - this might not be the worst.
Theres not terrifying monsters or death - but its still a terrifying feeling.
If your dreams regularly involve you running for the toilet then there may be something
to it.
Some psychologists see the toilet as a symbol of release for a person.
If youre dreaming about needing the toilet but not being able to find one - it could
be that youre looking for this release in your life.
Theres something in your day to day life that needs to be dealt with but you cant find the
right outlet for it - just like needing the toilet when you cant get to one.
The good news is that if this is the case, dealing with this blockage in your real life
can bring an end to the toilet nightmares for good!
And finally at number 1 we Being Trapped.
Nightmares where a person feels trapped or unable to escape a place are quite common.
They can also come in the form of being buried alive or being unable to scream.
A lot of people think these dreams indicate feeling trapped in real life, whether it be
work or a relationship or something else.
The person may feel like they have no choices in that area anymore and this is manifested
in the dream as having nowhere to go.
It may be terrifying to have a dream about being trapped but ultimately, this one may
be one of the most useful indicators to have when it comes to fixing problems in real life.
Alright there we go guys - did that help anyone?
Did that freak anyone out?
I want everyone to come back tomorrow and let me know if they have a dream or nightmare
tonight - perhaps we can figure out what it means together.
Lets have a quick look at a comment.
This one is from Cassey Caffrey who says -I think you guys should bury your own time capsules
from all Most Amazing channels and your sister channels.
Something from every member of staff with a letter to who put what in there and what
your channel is about!!
#MostAmazingTimeCapsule- … what a great idea.
For those of you that don't get this, I recently did a lot of Time Capsule videos on the channel
so thats why Cassey is suggesting this and yeah I think its a great idea.
We could put loads of comments from you guys in the capsule too and bury it for people
to open in 100 years from now.
Shall we do that?
Im actually serious - and kinda excited.
Let me know, thanks for watching as always guys, my name is Danny Burke and Ill see you
all in the next video!
