I'm always falling and I am, in fact, completely out of control of most things.

What I find odd is that all my dreams take place in my childhood home, even if my husband or kids are in them. I always live at that house.

I went through a period of dreaming about my teeth falling out. I haven't had that dream for a while.

I dream a lot about swimming or being in a pool of water.

The dreams that scare me the most are needing to call 911 - either I can't dial the number correctly or I am not able to speak. I don't know why I have those dreams.

Mine are usually about rooms in a home/house. I'm always very comfortable there. Last one I recall, had old fashioned cupboards, with old fashioned large dishes. I must have been a maid! LOL It's going room to room too, or in a school.

Love this.

One of my more common dream is forgetting that I'm in a class, so I haven't gone all semester, and then its final exams time. Or, some variation of that. I'm surprised not being ready for a test isn't on that list - I thought it was quite common.

I dream this a lot. I also thought this was very common. One reason might be my job. I work at a university. I've been in school most of my life. From student to worker. I only briefly had a "civilian" job. I actually once worked in a bank.

This is a recurring dream for me. Actually, it's more of a nightmare. I sit down to start the test and realize I don't know the answer to a single question. I wake up and immediately feel such relief that's it's not real.

BF has the "late to class" dream a lot. (He is actually quite punctual, even when he doesn't have to be).

Mine, like @songbird's experience has to do from always being connected to school. It's usually that I haven't really graduated, and I have to go back and finish something (a class, a semester, student teaching, etc.) and I don't have the necessary paperwork to do so. Like in one instance I studied abroad (true) but didn't fill out the paperwork before going so none of the credits transferred.

I had one that was vivid, where I had to go and finish my senior year of college at a transfer school.

My Dad died 25 years ago , but lately I have dreams about him and also that he is taking me to heaven.Very peaceful, happy dreams,not at all frightening. But I do wonder why I remember them after I wake up. My Mom always said if you remember a dream after you wake up it is because God is sending you a message.

I had a dream about driving over a bridge and going over the edge and falling in my car. I saw many scenes from my childhood while I was falling. The dream was so real. I woke up before I hit the water. That was many years ago. I don't like driving over high bridges. I have a fear of heights.

That was the only falling dream I ever had. I don't remember dreaming about any of the other common subjects you have listed.

My husband has nightmares about being shot, hit, stabbed a lot. He will start thrashing around in his sleep and be yelling "stop" or "help" or something. I'll wake him up and he will be so grateful.Vivid dreams are a side effect of a med he takes.

Omgosh, I dream this often too. Talk about panic!

@lolakimono You always find the best charts and graphics! I'm enjoying them and learning a lot! 👍

Why thanks!

I worked the first two days of spring break doing some cultural things for class, and now many of these infographics are popping up on my Pinterest board.

Are you a pinner? I could spend all day looking at things that are "recommended", and I'm acquiring a good bit of "collectibles" on my fashion board. Sometimes it's nice to pin things knowing that you aren't going to buy them but can appreciate them for one reason or another.

I like to find things (infographics, quotes, etc.) that are either useful or that will inspire "discussion" from people I may not normally hear from on the other boards.

I also had the 'teeth falling out' one a few times in the past. I don't even remember what was happening at that time in my life.

Falling and being chased - pretty standard stuff. Haven't had those lately, either.

I don't remember dreaming I was pregnant (have never been), but I dreamt a couple of times that I had a baby and I kept forgetting where I put him. oops!

I have very weird dreams - like REALLY weird. But now I'm in a stage where I can't remember them for more than a minute after waking up.

I do remember one silly little one I had last week, though, I had the tv on and had fallen back asleep. That episode of Lucy was on from when they moved to CT and got those baby chickens. I had the dumbest dream where I was there. All I remember was that Lucy's hair was dark, like really dark, with a couple of slightly lighter streaks in it. If that weren't weird enough, some of the little chicks were standing there and they had little shirts on. Don't know where any of that came from!

I am a Pinner! I really need to organize them better though!

I pin a lot of home decor and paint samples, clothing, infographics, quotes and recipes.

You are definitely an asset asset to this board and this broad! Lol. (Board autocorrected to broad so I though I'd go with it)

I'm sitting here trying to remember the various explanation / discussions of dreams from philosophy class in college.

Looking online ... there are lots of philosophical discussiosn of dreams ... Google "philosophy of dreams."
