According to this article...
I have these types of dreams on a monthly basis, but only one type for each month. God, if I had dreams of infidelity, death of a loved one, and failing a test all in one month...I'd probably shoot myself.
Infidelity:
This theme kicks off the five most reported dreams. DreamMoods.com interprets it as such: "To dream that your spouse or significant other is cheating on you highlights your insecurities and your fears of being abandoned. You feel that you are lacking attention in the relationship or feel that he or she is being less than affectionate. Alternatively, you feel that you are not measuring up to the expectations of others."
Death of a Loved One:
This one always creeps us out. DreamMoods.com reveals that this type of dream "suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies." The site suggests: "Ask yourself what makes this person special or what you like about them. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances."
Taking a Test:
High school is over, but it can come back to haunt you in your sleep. DreamMoods.com says that "in such dreams, you may find that you cannot answer any of the questions on the test. Or perhaps you arrive late and miss the exam. These dreams usually have to do with your confidence or the lack thereof. You may also experience the fear of not being accepted, not being prepared or not being good enough."
Snakes and Spiders:
Talk about creepy! These are the two most popular critters to encounter in your dreams (er, nightmares) according to Vigo. DreamMoods.com says that "to see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you," while spiders may "indicate that you are feeling like an outsider in some situation. Or perhaps you want to keep your distance and stay away from an alluring and tempting situation."
It's interesting how my nightmares are involved with fears, insecurities, and thinking that I'm not good enough...
I've never had this dream before, but I thought it was interesting and maybe one of you have had (might be useful).
No Bathroom:
According to DreamMoods.com, "To dream that you cannot find the bathroom or that you have difficulties finding one indicates that you have difficulties in releasing and expressing your emotions. You are holding back your true feelings about something."
