Everyone has seen that dream where you are being chased by someone you don't know. You scream but nothing comes out and you suddenly wake up. What does this mean?

Here are some of the most common dream meanings:

1. Dreams as if falling from a height

Dreams about falling from great heights are very common. Contrary to the myth that if you touch the ground in a dream, something bad will happen in reality, these dreams often symbolize the feeling of losing control or feeling overwhelmed in some aspect of your life.

2. Dreams of going naked in public

Have you ever had one of those embarrassing dreams where you show up at school or the office naked? Do not worry. These dreams are very common. Penney Peirce, author of "Dream Dictionary for Dummies," suggests that these dreams may indicate that you are afraid of letting your insecurities surface.

3. Dreams as if someone is following you

Dreams about someone you know or someone you don't know haunting you can be scary. Dream interpreters often suggest that these dreams mean that you are trying to avoid something in your everyday life. Tony Crisp, author of the "Dream Dictionary," suggests that being chased in a dream may indicate a desire to escape from your fears or desires.

The key to understanding what such a dream might mean depends in part on the identity of the one who is following you.

If its:

An animal: You may be hiding from your anger, passions and feelings.

A stranger: If the person following you is a mysterious and unknown figure, it may represent a childhood experience or past trauma.

A person of the opposite sex: This can symbolize the fact that you are afraid of love or are troubled by a past relationship.

4. Dreams about death

Death is another common dream subject and can be particularly disturbing. Dreams range from dreams about the death of a loved one or even about your own death. Interpretations suggest that such dreams reflect anxiety about changes or fear of the unknown.

5. Dreams about pregnancy

Dream interpreters often suggest that dreams about pregnancy represent everything from creativity to fear. David C. Lohff believes that dreams about pregnancy can sometimes represent a woman's fear of being an unfit mother.

Author Tony Crisp takes a different view, suggesting that dreams about pregnancy indicate that the dreamer is moving to other levels in a relationship. While dream interpreter Russell Grant says that these dreams predict difficult times.
