Decoding dreams: A psychologist on the meaning of some common dreams

Dreams are windows to an individual's subconcious mind. The dream content depends a lot on a person's background, history, past and events of life, and also personality. A study shows that creative people tend to remember their dreams more than average people. While everyone dreams uniquely, there are some dreams with common themes that we all have seen at some point or the other. Komal Mishra, Counselling Psychologist at Kaleidoscope - a unit of Dr. Bakshi's Healthcare decodes some common dreams.

Death: Death does not mean anything negative in our dream life. Dreaming about death means a positive shift is likely to happen in your real life. It means that there is going to be an end of one chapter and start of another.
