What do dreams mean? One minute we're flying, the next we're in our house, only it's not our house, with people we know, but they don't look anything like them.

Dreams are weird. They can be scary, funny, exciting, or boring. Sometimes the dream is so good that we wish we never woke up.
The question is, what do dreams mean? Do they mean anything at all?
Obviously, sometimes dreams mean a great deal and can give a little clue to what's going on in our life, like when we're stressed out. But there are times when our dream is simply based on the movie that we watched the night before.

I use to dream about snakes all the time. I was always falling into a pit of snakes when I woke up.. so I looked up snakes and what it meant.

Snake
To see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream, signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. Alternatively, the snake may be seen as phallic and thus symbolize temptation, dangerous and forbidden sexuality. If you are afraid of the snake, then it signifies your fears of sex, intimacy or commitment. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent healing, transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes.

Do you dream the same dream over and over?

What is the average amount of dreams a person usually has in one night?

The average person has about 3 to 5 dreams per night, but some may have up to 7 dreams in one night. The dreams tend to last longer as the night progresses. During a full 8-hour night sleep, two hours of it is spent dreaming.

Often I do not remember my dreams so I wonder if I fall into this group: Some researchers believe that certain people have a genetic disposition to forget their dreams as they come out of their sleep.

There are many questions about dreaming and here is a link to the most common ones if you are interested---

Thanks. I will take a look at that this afternoon. Normally, my dreams seem to be based on something or someone that triggers a memory. I am one of those people that forget (most of the time) what they dreamed about.

Interesting!
