Common dreams
A Dead Loved One
Someone you have lost arrives in the dream — alive, themselves, often saying something.
Death (Your Own)
You die in the dream. Almost never literal — almost always the death of an old self.
Finding Money
Coins, bills, treasure — discovered, sometimes hoarded, sometimes lost again.
Fire
Transformation that destroys to create. Eros, illumination, consuming change.
Flying
You are aloft, sometimes effortlessly, sometimes barely. Composure or escape.
Water
The unconscious itself, in some state — calm, churning, deep, frozen, flooded.
