  • Snakes, cats, fish and mice also make up the most commonly dreamt about animals

What Do The Most Common Dreams Mean? 

Ranking as the most common dream globally, dreams about our canine pals are often related to themes of loyalty and protection regarding our relationships. Perhaps it’s whether someone is looking out for us, or is a threat to us – judged by how friendly the dog in the specific dream is.

However, residents of countries that include the UK, France and Switzerland bring things even closer to home than the family dog, as they’re among the 18 countries that dream most frequently of being pregnant. Dreams about being pregnant are often linked with experiencing something new in your life, and hint that you are growing as a person.

Most common in African countries like South Africa and Rwanda, snakes take third place. Snakes slithering their way into our dreams are often associated with struggling to make a tricky decision, perhaps bringing to light something they need to confront in their waking life.

Interestingly, rounding off the top five were dreams involving cheating, which was on the mind of North & Central American dreamers, including those in the USA. While infidelity may not be front of mind when you wake, this dream is often perceived as the body’s way of processing complex emotions about past events, so shouldn’t always be taken literally.

Other animals that featured in the most common global dreams are cats, fish, mice and spiders. If, like in countries such as Poland and Bulgaria, cats are often appearing in your dreams, then it could mean that someone is deceiving you as cats are said to be associated with bad fortune and deception. Whereas if it’s fish that are featuring in your night time adventures, then it may mean that you are moving towards a challenging or difficult situation.

If, like, Brazil your nightmares feature mice crawling over you, they could be a sign of feelings of inadequacy, but can also signify something positive – especially if you are catching the mouse. Spiders round off the animals in the top 15 dreams, with Austria and Germany frequently dreaming about the arachnids. Spider dreams embody a fear of something in your life that you feel is unavoidable, such as a meeting with your boss or seeing someone you are no longer friends with.

Relationship-related dreams are also quite common, with dreams about exes common in Mexico and Japan. If you’re dreaming about an ex-partner, then it could be a sign of healing (if they are a recent breakup) with your subconscious trying to help you process your feelings and move on. If you’re dreaming about an old flame, it could be a symbol of passion and that you’re looking for more excitement in your life. If marriage features regularly in your dreams, like Greek and Kenyan residents, it’s not necessarily a sign you want to be married, instead symbolising your commitment to something whether that’s a new job, finding a new friendship, or taking on a new hobby.

Money makes the world go round, and it’s certainly the case for Uganda and Nigeria, who searched for the meaning behind their money dreams the most. While very few of us who dream of money are rich when we wake up, dreaming about money is instead thought to be a symbol of self-confidence and our own self-worth. If you dream about money regularly, it could mean you’re feeling rich in life.

Other top dreams are teeth falling out, driving and gardening. Dreaming about teeth falling out may denote feelings of self-doubt, frustration, or fear, and this particular dream was most common for residents of New Zealand and Samoa. If like residents of Ethiopia, driving is featuring regularly in your dreams, it’s thought to signify how in control of your life you feel and how close you are to your goals.

Finally, if pottering in the garden is a regular dream, the meaning behind it can vary depending on the state of the garden. If your dream-garden is overgrown with weeds taking over, it could indicate that you feel you have neglected a part of your life and want to spend time getting it back into its place. Gardening is the most commonly searched-for dream meaning in countries like Turkey and Nepal.

Molly Freshwater, Co-founder of Secret Linen Store commented: “As the last couple of years might have felt more nightmare-inducing than a calm backdrop for a good night’s sleep, we were keen to see how this might have impacted what we’re dreaming about around the world. It’s interesting to see that dreams actually do differ depending on where you live, but also comforting to know you’re not alone when it comes to dreaming about snakes or ex-partners. Whatever you regularly dream about, sleep is so important, and making sure your bed is as relaxing and comforting as possible will go a long way to making sure you’re having good dreams rather than nightmares!”

    • Is that the ser guy who calls himself a reptile, I mean serpent? That’s a pretty sick sense of humor. Chuups.

      • Yes, dump all the serpents on the 26 acres of farm land. Don’t leave one damn snake/serpent at large. We’ll name it “Serpent Garden.” or “Reptile Garden” if your prefer…a haven for serpents.
