9 most common dreams and their meanings according to a famous psychologist

Many psychologists have given up trying to interpret dreams. But The Independent spoke to someone who is studying this topic. Psychologist Ian Wallace has transcribed more than 150,000 dreams during his 30-year career. He helped compile a list of the nine most common dream plots, their meanings and recommendations on what to do about them in real life.

What this means: The rooms in your home represent different aspects of your personality. Finding a previously unknown room means that you are discovering talents in yourself that you didn’t know about before.

What to do: The more time you spend exploring your dormant talents, the more likely it is that more doors will open for you in real life.

What it means: A car reflects your ability to make consistent progress towards a specific goal. In real life, you may feel like you don't have complete control over your path to success.

What to do: Instead of trying to control the situation too much, you need to loosen your grip and allow your deep instincts and intuition to lead you to the best path.

What does it mean: The feeling of falling in a dream indicates that you are too focused on some situation in real life. You need to relax and let her go.

What to do: Instead of worrying that things will get out of control, sometimes you just need to trust yourself and those around you to let things work out naturally.

What does it mean: the ability to fly in a dream indicates that you have freed yourself from the oppression of circumstances that bothered you in real life.

What to do: Although you may perceive this feeling of liberation as a happy accident, it is usually due to the fact that you were able to make an informed decision or rise above the limitations that come with greater responsibility.

What it means: Exams are how we evaluate our ability to cope, and such a dream could indicate that you are critical of your performance in real life.

What to do: rather than plunge into endless soul-searching, it is better to try to accept your strengths, paying tribute to your knowledge and achievements, and not engage in constant self-criticism.

What does this mean: we choose clothes to convey a certain image to the people around us. Finding yourself naked in public could mean that you are going through a situation in real life that makes you feel vulnerable and weak.

What to do: Although it may seem embarrassing, sometimes you just need to open up to the people around you so that they can see your true talents.

What it means: Toilets are a place that people use to hygienically satisfy one of their most basic needs, and it indicates a real-life situation in which you find it difficult to express your needs in a clear manner.

What to do: Spend more time recognizing your own needs rather than the needs of other people.

What it means: Your teeth symbolize how confident and strong you feel, so it's a sign that some real-life situation is taking a toll on your self-confidence.

What to do: Instead of seeing this situation as something that will overwhelm you, try to calmly consider the facts and accept it as a challenge.

What this means: In real life, there is a problem that you want to solve, but you don't know how to approach it.

What to do: This problem can often be an excellent opportunity to realize a certain personal ambition. While your pursuers may seem scary, they are actually drawing your attention to unfulfilled talents in your own race for self-realization.
