Cold Read 10 - DREAMS

Dreaming serves as a channel for thoughts and impulses we repress during the day. Every dream is connected with your own "reality" and no other person can have your background, your emotions, or your experiences. It provides you with insight into ourselves and a means for self-exploration.

Animal:
To see animals in your dream, represents your own physical characteristic, primitive desires, and sexual nature, depending on the qualities of the particular animal. Animals symbolizes the untamed and uncivilized aspects of yourself. Thus, to dream that you are fighting with an animal signifies a hidden part of yourself that you are trying to reject and push back into your subconscious.

Nude:
Becoming uncomfortable or shameful at the realization that you are walking around naked in public, is a reflection of your vulnerability. You may be hiding something and are afraid that others can see right through you. Normally clothes are a means of concealment. With clothes, you can hide your identity or be someone else. But without them, everything is hanging out for all to see and you are left without any defenses. You fear that people will see through your true self and you will be exposed as a fraud or a phony. On the other hand, when you realize that you are naked in your dream, but everyone else in the dream is going about their business without giving a second look at your nakedness, indicates your desire to get noticed.

Chased:
Chase dreams often come from feelings of anxiety and pressure in real life. Running is an instinctive response to physical threats in our environment. Often in these dream scenarios, you are being pursued by some attacker and are running away, hiding, or trying to outwit your pursuer. Chase dreams may represent your way of coping with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, you are running away and avoiding it. The pursuer or attacker, who is chasing you in your dream, may also represent a part of yourself as your own feelings of anger, jealousy, fear, and possibly love, which is a threatening figure for yourself, so you project these feelings onto the unknown chaser.

Flying:
Flying dreams fall under a category of dreams where you become aware that you are dreaming, known as lucid dreaming. If you are flying with ease and enjoying the scene and landscape below, then it suggests that you are on top of a situation. You have risen above something. It may also mean that you have gained a different perspective on things. Flying dreams and the ability to control your flight is representative of your own personal sense of power. Having difficulties staying in flight indicates a lack of power in controlling your own circumstances. If you are feeling fear when you are flying or that you feel that you are flying too high, then it suggests that you are afraid of challenges and of success.
