Halloween Dreams: The Top 5 Most Common Scenarios

As the season of scary stories approaches, it's common to read scary stories before bed that can potentially cause nightmares. Most nightmares don't mean anything, but there are a few common dreams that can be symbolic of what's going on in your life. The most common disturbing dream is about ourselves or a loved one dying, resulting in a sudden, sweaty awakening. Another recurring dream scenario is falling from a great height or having difficulty keeping your balance while being chased. Dreams in which one is being pursued can be interpreted as a sign that one feels pursued or threatened by challenges in waking life. Dreams of monsters can symbolize aspects of your life or emotions that you are struggling with or need to accept. The familiar dream of the witch on your chest is frightening, but can also reflect the wiser version of yourself, free from the demands of society.
