10 Most Common Dreams and What They Mean [LIST]

When we're sleeping, our minds are absolutely still working overtime.

It's pretty rare if I wake up and can't remember a detail from my dreams. Especially when something new is happening in my life.

For example, I just moved to a new apartment. Yes, it was a month ago, but in the grand scheme of life that's still pretty recently. Ever since I moved, I've been having very vivid dreams and they keep coming back with the same theme.

One of those dreams is about finding money in the grass outside my apartment. The first time I had the dream most of the money was counterfeit, but the most recent time I had the dream it was all real.

I looked up what "finding money" means it a dream and according to Dream Bible it means that I'm being freed from negativity and I can now be a happier more aware person, which is pretty much amazing. Especially considering the original dream was with fake money.

Last night, I had a dream about the apocalypse. Well I think it as the apocalypse. I had to stay under water in order to survive, and once I did survive I had to be inspected to make sure I wasn't a zombie. I also had a tough time finding a sweatshirt, and I needed one since I was cold from the water surviving.

While I was looking up what these dreams meant, I came across of the list of the ten most common dreams and what they mean.

No surprise here, I've had seven of these dreams repeatedly. I think it's time for me to see someone about these...
