Dreaming is a universal human experience, and many similar themes arise in people’s dreams the world over. The Onion provides some context for interpreting these common dreams:
Unprepared For A Test: This is a classic dream trope shared by chronic underachievers and losers in every culture
Spousal Infidelity: Likely a result of random synaptic firing, and not suspicions about why your partner’s book club meets three times per week
Falling: A sign of the dreamer’s inability to fly
Public Nudity: Experts believe this is a subconscious expression of one’s deepest, most urgent desires
Blood And Viscera: Projection of past trauma suffered at a Steely Dan concert
Celebrated Actor F. Murray Abraham Giving You A Sponge Bath: Just relax and enjoy
Flying: The brain’s only way of processing the city council’s recent decision to raise bus fares 50 cents
Birds: Dreaming about birds could mean that you love, hate, or feel impartial to birds
A Loving Husband, Two Amazing Kids, And A Career That’s Challenging But Fulfilling: You’ve worked hard for all this, and now it’s yours. You’ve earned it.
