Humans have been interpreting dreams for millennia, from the Iskar ZaqiqutheBabylonian text that was probably the first interpretation of dream symbolsto the theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung for interpreting single and recurring dreams.

While dreams are intensely personal, there are also a number of common dreams, such as dreams about being naked in public. However, these common dreams of nudity do not have same meaning from person to person. When you dream that you are naked in public, your dream may be expressing your feelings of vulnerability and exposure. However, your dream may also be an expression of confidence in your body. How you interpret your dream of public nudity would depend upon how you felt in the dream.Were you embarrassed?Ashamed? Frightened? Or did you simply realize you were nude and went calmly about your business? Recurring dreams of nudity—whether positive or negative—would indicate that your feelings about this issue are fairly intense. You may have a deep-seated fear of exposure, or you may be far more confident than you realize, and your recurring dreams may be your mind’s way of acknowledging these truths.

Obviously, no matter how common dreams are, there is no one right way to interpret them, even for the same person. For example, if you have recurring dreams about taking an exam, you may be dreaming about your inability to understand yourself and your motivations; you may also simply be worried about a major exam. The common dreams about losing your teeth normally mean a fear of aging and a loss of attractiveness—especially for women—but if you dream of other people losing their teeth, you may be dreaming about their being defanged, as well as losing their attractiveness. More prosaically, dreaming about an exam may mean only that you are ready to demonstrate your mastery of a subject and move on with your life, while your dream about losing your teeth may mean nothing more than that you have forgotten to schedule your annual dental cleaning.

How you understand you dream depends not only on the symbolic nature of the dream, how you feel about those symbols, what they mean to you personally and culturally, and what is going on in your life.
