In Your Dreams Part 2

BELIEVE IT OR NOT .. ALL OF US SPEND ONE THIRD OF OUR LIFE IN THE DREAM STATE.

AND .. MANY OF US HAVE THE VERY SAME DREAMS.

EVER DREAM YOU'RE FALLING .. THEN YOU WAKE UP RIGHT BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND?

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST COMMON DREAMS .. AND MANY BELIEVE .. IT MEANS SOMETHING.

TONIGHT...HOW TO INTERPRET THE MESSAGES ..."IN YOUR DREAMS."

THE SYMBOLS CAN BE WHIMSICAL .. EVEN FUNNY ... TERRIFYING AND JUST PLAIN WIERD.

FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE OUR DREAMS ARE MORE THAN JUST RANDOM ELECTRICAL BRAIN IMPULSES .. THOSE NIGHTLY IMAGES CARRY A MESSAGE.

LAURI LOEWENBERG / DREAM ANALYST: "you cannot take your dreams at face value .. it is symbolic .. dont take your dreams literally .. you've got to look into each character in your dreams .. each object in your dream .. even the setting of your dream is symbolic of something thats going on with you right now in your life."

DREAM ANALYST AND AUTHOR LAURI LOEWENBERG SAYS COMMON SYMBOLS NOW HAVE COMMON DEFINITIONS.

FOR INSTANCE .. WATER .. SYMBOLIZES OUR EMOTIONS.

MELISSA BENTLEY / NASHVILLE RESIDENT: "im not really fond of water and everytime i drive over a bridge in a dream bridge breaks in the middle and I fall into the water."

THE CONDITION OF WATER IN OUR DREAMS WILL MIRROR THE STATE OF OUR EMOTIONS .. AND FOR WOMEN .. THE STATE OF THEIR HORMONAL CYCLES.

FALLING IS ONE OF THE TOP THREE DREAMS PEOPLE HAVE.

VICKI OTTO / GREENBRIER RESIDENT: "I had a lot of dreams when I was very young of falling in a well and waking up before I hit the bottom."

Lauri says "the falling dream is a warning sign we send ourselves that we feel like we have lost control of something in our life .. something is going rapidly in the wrong direction .. look at your career .. look at your relationship .. look at own self esteem .. maybe you're falling into a depression."

HOPE STOVER / SAVANNAH, GA: "flying and swimming I think its a way of telling me I want to be free."

FLYING IS ANOTHER OF THE MOST COMMON DREAMS ..

IT CAN MEAN YOU ARE ON TOP OF THINGS.

IF YOU'RE AFRAID WHILE FLYING .. YOU MAY HAVE CHALLENGES YOU DON'T FEEL UP TO.

IT'S ALSO COMMON FOR ANIMALS TO OCCUR IN DREAMS.

EDUARDO RAMIREZ / CARACAS, VENEZUELA: "I had skin like an alligator in the back sort of like spiderman .. and it was coming off .. I was taking it off .. it was between green and blue."

lauri says "take a good look at that animal in your dreams ,.. what is it known for? Cats are very independent .. maybe the cat symbolizes your own independence .. dogs are big dream symbols .. they're known as mans best friend .. loyal companion .. so that dog probably represents a relationship."

WHETHER WE'RE AT SCHOOL .. WORK OR SOME SOCIAL EVENT .. NEARLY ALL OF US HAVE HAD THIS ONE.

BEING NAKED IN PUBLIC!

lauri says "either feeling unprepared for something in your life or you're feeling embarrassed or vulnerable, perhaps you've said or done something recently you feel really dumb about and you're afraid people are going to see your flaws."

FROM NO CLOTHES TO NO TEETH!

LOSING THEM IS ANOTHER COMMON DREAM.

ONE THEORY IS THAT YOU'RE EMBARRASSED BY YOUR APPEARANCE.

LOEWENBERG BELIEVES TEETH REPRESENT OUR POWER AND ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE.

lauri says "its not about oral hygiene .. so don't run to the dentist .. its about the things you've been saying .. if your teeth fall out in your dream it means you probably have said something you should have kept in your mouth."

SOMETIMES DREAMS CAN JUST BE RANDOM.

WEIRD, HAPPY, HOPEFUL IMAGES THAT MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL.

ANTONIO BURNS / NASHVILLE RESIDENT: "strangest dream I ever had .. I was jumping into a volcano of hot molten snow."

laura: "whats thats supposed to mean?"

antonio says "i have no idea!"

SHAKITA RICE / NASHVILLE RESIDENT:

laura asks "whats the best dream you ever had?"

shakita rice says "that im gonna win a million dollars ... ha ha .. hopefully that one will come true!"

THROUGHOUT HISTORY .. INVENTORS .. WRITERS .. ARTISTS AND SCIENTISTS HAVE SOLVED PROBLEMS IN THEIR DREAMS.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE BEATLES SONG "YESTERDAY" CAME TO PAUL MCCARTNEY IN A DREAM.

EVEN ALBERT EINSTEIN CLAIMS "EINSTEIN'S THEORY" CAME TO HIM IN A DREAM.

IT'S COMMON .. AND WHAT IT MEANS MAY SURPRISE YOU.

IF YOU DREAM YOUR SPOUSE IS CHEATING ON YOU ... IT USUALLY MEANS SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
