每晚我们大约会做5个梦，地球上70亿人24小时内共同创造了350亿个梦。
这些梦有不少是噩梦，无论是梦到被追赶，还是梦到牙掉了，我们都会被吓得不轻甚至直接吓醒。
弗洛伊德在《梦的解析》中说，梦是人们压抑愿望的伪装表现形式（disguised fulfillments of repressed wishes），那么这些常见的噩梦都表达了什么寓意呢？
All of these dreams mirror fundamental patterns of human behavior. Some believe these dream patterns reflect who we actually are, what we really need and what we believe.
所有这些梦都反映了人类行为的基本模式。有些人认为这些梦反映了我们是谁，我们真正需要什么以及我们相信什么。
Teeth falling out
掉牙
Dreams about your teeth can reflect your anxieties about your appearance and how others perceive you. Such dreams may stem from a fear of rejection, embarrassment or feeling unattractive.
梦到牙齿通常反映出一个人的外貌焦虑，这种梦可能来源于害怕被拒绝，尴尬或者觉得自己不好看。
As teeth are used to bite, tear and chew, dreams about losing your teeth can stem from a sense of powerlessness which means you may be experiencing self-confidence issues.
由于牙齿是用来咬、撕扯和咀嚼东西的，失去牙齿的梦可能源于无能为力的感觉，这意味着你可能正经历自信的问题。
Being chased
被追赶
Being chased suggests you are running away from something that is causing you fear or anxiety in waking life.
梦到被追赶说明你正在逃离现实生活中让你感到害怕或者焦虑的东西。
The chaser can also represent an aspect of yourself. Your own feelings of anger, jealousy or fear can manifest itself as the threatening figure.
追逐者也可以代表自己的一个方面。你自己的愤怒、嫉妒或恐惧感外化成有威胁的人物。
Unable to find a toilet
找不到厕所
Having trouble finding a toilet means you may be finding it difficult to express your needs in a certain situation. It can represent feelings of your personal needs not being met by always putting others first.
梦到找不到厕所意味着你觉得在某种情况下自己很难表达自己的需求。你可能总是把自己的优先级往后靠。
You may feel that you are lacking time for personal issues and need more privacy, self-care or self-expression.
你可能会觉得你缺乏时间处理个人问题，需要更多的隐私、自我关心或自我表达。
Naked in public
公共场合没穿衣服
Being naked in a dream symbolizes not being able to find yourself, uncertainty, or being wrongly accused.
梦到没穿衣服表现出一种不确定性，或者被误解。
If you are not the naked person in your dream, but you see a nude person and you are sickened by it, it means you are worried about exposing that person.
如果你不是梦中那个没穿衣服的人，但你看到一个裸体的人而且被恶心到了，这意味着你担心揭穿那个人。
Unprepared for an exam
考试没准备
Exam dreams can be so real that we actually wake up convinced we just failed an important test.
考试噩梦通常非常真实，以至于我们醒了以后真的觉得自己挂科了。
At least 1 in every 5 people will experience an exam dream in their lives. Exam dreams are a reflection of your lack of confidence and inability to advance to the next stage in life.
每5个人中，至少有一个人一生中会梦到考试。考试梦反映了自信缺乏，无法进入人生的下一阶段。
Falling
坠落
If you fall anywhere and you are overcome by fear, it signifies insecurity and anxiety about a situation.
梦到坠落并且害怕说明正在为某事焦虑不已。
Enjoying the feeling of falling suggests that you are not afraid of changes.
但是如果在梦里享受坠落的过程，说明毫不惧怕改变。
Being late
迟到
Dreaming that you are late represents your worry and anxiety about taking a different direction in your life, or that you are trying to get things done but you feel that you are running out of time.
梦见自己迟到代表着你对人生发生改变时的担忧和焦虑，或者你正试图完成一些事情，但你觉得时间不多了。
Your unconscious might be telling you that it is never too late to do things you want in your life.
你无意识中可能在告诉自己做你想做的事永远不会太晚。
Bug infestation
虫子成群
Dreaming about a bug infestation can have two interpretations. One is symbolic of feelings of guilt, minor irritations, or worries that are sneaking up on you.
梦到虫子有两种解释，一种是愧疚感、愠怒或是心里的担忧。
On the other hand, dreams about bugs are also associated with health problems, which is why many people reported having increasingly common nightmares about bugs during the pandemic.
另一种涉及到健康问题，流行病时期人们就会更频繁地梦到虫子。
对梦境的解析也不一定完全科学可靠，但它的确反应了我们日常生活中的一些状态，经常做噩梦可能是潜意识在提醒你需要调整好自己的状态。
